Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from New Letters and Memorials of Jane Welsh Carlyle, Vol. 1 of 2
Bow of Ulysses (the long bow of Ulysses it should have been), provoked numerous damaging replies, the most effective of which was 'mr. Froude's Negrophobia; or, Don Quixote as a Cook's Tourist, ' by Mr. N. D. Davis. His 'life and Letters of Erasmus' was subjected to fierce attacks for its blatant inaccuracy. Whatever he touched he twisted and transmogrified, and his 'life of Carlyle, ' which he considered of more permanent value than any other of his books, was his biggest blunder. His father bought up and burnt the greater part of the edition of his Shadows of the Clouds.' His 'nemesis of Faith was publicly burnt by William Sewell at Exeter College. It would have been well for all concerned had his Carlyle manuscripts been burnt before reaching the printer.
