To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is a cynical betrayal of a trust and serves to warrant the most sinister inferences concerning Carlyle 's character that were drawn from the " Reminiscences." No unbiased person can read it carefully without a conviction that the original text — the Letters — does not support Froude's commentary, and that the Letters them- selves have been glossed, distorted from their plain significance, and misinterpreted with perverse inge- nuity. The process is discoverable by all who look 128 THE NEMESI...S OF FROUDE beneath the surface, and in it Froude has revealed his own nature. The wrong done to Carlyle was a grievous one, but it is being redressed; his real character will yet shine out through all Froude's obscurations. " My Relations with Carlyle " is a kind of literary garbage, and, like garbage, creates disgust, but like garbage also it may not be without its use in nature, if it promote the growth of a just estimate of the spirit and methods of its author. Intellectually fulfilling one's ideal of greatness, a man made in the noblest human mould, in originality, in range of historical knowledge, in breadth of literary culture, in command of language, in lustre of imagina- tion, in grasp of judgment, unsurpassed in his cen- tury, Carlyle will yet be recognised, through the mists and miasms that Froude has drawn around him, and through the gloom of his own moodiness and melan- choly, as morally as well as intellectually great.
