Boehm, whose noble statue of Carlyle, exhibited in the Royal Academy in the previous year, had won so muchmerited praise from Mr. Ruskin and others. The medal was accompaniedby an address, signed by the subscribers. Carlyle seems to have beenmuch gratified with this honour, which took him quite by surprise, andhe expressed his acknowledgments as follows:-- "This of the medal and formal address of friends was an altogetherunexpected event, to be received as a conspicuous and peculiar honour, wit...hout example hitherto anywhere in my life. . . . To you . . . I addressmy thankful acknowledgments, which surely are deep and sincere, andwill beg you to convey the same to all the kind friends so beautifullyconcerned in it. Let no one of you be other than assured that thebeautiful transaction, in result, management, and intention, wasaltogether gratifying, welcome, and honourable to me, and that Icordially thank one and all of you for what you have been pleasedto do. Your fine and noble gift shall remain among my preciouspossessions, and be the symbol to me of something still more _golden_than itself, on the part of my many dear and too generous friends, solong as I continue in this world.
