Additional Comments:
Taken from letter from TC to Alexander Carlyle dated 12th December 1827, written at Comley Bank. Page 294 in this edition. Estimated date range. Carlyle does not specify the paper's title - but his most recent paper published in the Edinburgh Review up to that point was 'State of German Literature'. Reader's date of birth is Carlyle's own estimate - see correspondence in 1855 after his mother's death.
