Overview

This is the complete series of "pamphlets" published by Thomas Carlyle in 1850. The most popular essay in the series is titled "Husdon's Statue" and contains the heart of Carlyle's critique of democratic principles and what he saw as the corrosive effects of capitalist economics. Most collections available today contain only the first five: The Present Time, Model Prisions, Downing Street, The New Downing Street, and Stump-Orator. This edition, however, contains an additional three in order to complete the series: Parliaments, Hudson's Statue, and Jesuitism. These essays, due to their controversial nature, are sometimes considered the negative turning-point in Carlyle's career due to the fact that few found his messages acceptable. Nonetheless, this book represents to core of his vehement attack on the social problems of his day.
