Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sartor Resartus and Latter-Day Pamphlets Considering our present advanced state of culture, and how the Torch of Science has now been brandished and borne about, with more or less effect, for five-thousand years and upwards; how, in these times especially, not only the Torch still burns, and perhaps more fiercely than ever, but innumerable Rush-lights, and Sulphur-matches, kindled thereat, are also glancing in every direction, so that not the smallest cranny or doghole in Nature or Art can remain unilluminated, - it might strike the reflective mind with some surprise that hitherto little or nothing of a fundamental character, whether in the way of Philosophy or History, has been written on the subject of Clothes. Our Theory of Gravitation is as good as perfect: Lagrange, it is well known, has proved that the Planetary System, on this scheme, will endure forever; Laplace, still more cunningly, even guesses that it could not have been made on any other scheme. Whereby, at least, our nautical Logbooks can be better kept; and water-transport of all kinds has grown more commodious.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Latter-Day Pamphlets: In One Volume Strange language this for the year 1850, though it is familiar enough to-day, or rather it has only ceased to be so because the very success of its reproofs has now rendered them superfluous. It is not without a melancholy pleasure that one quotes it, if only as a relief from the general impression that the volume, with all its spirit and eloquence and caustic irony, leaves behind it - namely that the prophet's is one of the most perilous of all the profes sions, and that for turning the wisdom of the wise to foolishness there is nothing so disastrously efi'ective as the attempt to predict the mysterious course of the future.

Your ship cannot double Cape Horn by its excellent plans of voting. The ship may vote this and that, above decks and below, in the most harmonious ex quisitely constitutional manner: the ship, to get round Cape Horn, will find a set of conditions already voted for, and fixed with adamantine rigour by the ancient Elemental Powers, who are entirely careless how you vote. If you can, by voting or without voting, ascertain these conditions, and valiantly con form to them, you will get round the Cape: if you cannot, the ruffian Winds will blow you ever back again; the inexor able Icebergs, dumb privy-councillors from Chaos, will nudge you with most chaotic 'admonition you will be flung half frozen on the Patagonian cliffs, or admonished into shivers by your iceberg councillors, and sent sheer down to Davy Jones, and will never get round Cape Horn at all! Unanimity on board ship -yes indeed, the ship's crew may be very unani mous, which doubtless, for the time being, will be very com fortable to the ship's crew, and to their Phantasm Captain if they have one but if the tack they unanimously steer upon is guiding them into the belly of the Abyss, it will not profit them much l - Ships accordingly do not use the ballot-box at all; and they reject the Phantasm species of Captains: one wishes much some other Entities, - since all entities lie under the same rigorous set oflaws, - could be brought to show as much wis dom, and sense at least of self-preservation, the first command of Nature. Phantasm Captains with unanimous votings: this is considered to be all the law and all the prophets, at present.

Navigating, whether in the Straits of Magellan or the undiscovered Sea of Time. To pro sper in this world, to gain felicity, victory and improvement, either for a man or a nation, there is but one thing requisite, That the man or nation can discern what the true regulations of the Universe are in regard to him and his pursuit, and can faithfully and steadfastly follow these. These will lead him to victory; whoever it may be that sets him in the way of these, - were it Russian Autocrat, Chartist Parliament, Grand Lama.

Book excerpt: Sartor Resartus, and On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History by Thomas Carlyle One of the most vital and pregnant books in our modern literature, "Sartor Resartus" is also, in structure and form, one of the most daringly original. It defies exact classification. It is not a philosophic treatise. It is not an autobiography. It is not a romance. Yet in a sense it is all these combined. Its underlying purpose is to expound in broad outline certain ideas which lay at the root of Carlyle's whole reading of life. But he does not elect to set these forth in regular methodic fashion, after the manner of one writing a systematic essay. He presents his philosophy in dramatic form and in a picturesque human setting. He invents a certain Herr Diogenes Teufelsdröckh, an erudite German professor of "Allerley-Wissenschaft," or Things in General, in the University of Weissnichtwo, of whose colossal work, "Die Kleider, Ihr Werden und Wirken" (On Clothes: Their Origin and Influence), he represents himself as being only the student and interpreter. With infinite humour he explains how this prodigious volume came into his hands; how he was struck with amazement by its encyclopædic learning, and the depth and suggestiveness of its thought; and how he determined that it was his special mission to introduce its ideas to the British public. But how was this to be done? As a mere bald abstract of the original would never do, the would-be apostle was for a time in despair.
