'Some three weeks ago, a packet of Books arrived here, accompanied with a Letter addressed A l'Auteur de l'Article intitule, Caractere de notre Epoque, the whole perfectly uninjured, the Books complete according to the list sent with them.

Century: 1800-1849     Reader/Listener/Group: Thomas Carlyle      Print: Book
