Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Study of Greatness in Men
Man, as God would have him to be, and as God empowered him to be, that kindled the cease less wrath and scorn which ?amed out of Car lyle against all defacements and debasements of the sanctified ideal in his mind. There is something overpowering in the fierceness Of his contempt for the falsities, the meannesses, the quackeries, the fripperies, the veneerings, the mammon - worshipings, the servilities and cowardices that honeycomb so much of human character and make so much Of human life a sham. In all literature I find no other such tonic for honesty, for sincerity, for simple downrightness and uprightness of doing, thinking, feeling, and being. There is a won derful eloquence in the very epithets and ex pletives into which he packs his anger and his scorn.
