The Bibliography of Carlyle. (Elliot Stock.)—Mr. Carlyle's literary life extended

over about fifty-seven years, beginning with some contributions (dated 1820) to "Brewster's Edinburgh Eau- clopmdia," and ending with a letter to the Times, " Ou the Crisis," which appeared May 5th, 1877. During this periody if we except the last ten or twelve years, his activity was pretty constasait. And if he wrote much, there has also been much written abont\him. Hence this account of his " bibliography " assumes considerable,tlimensions. Very carefully prepared it seems, and curious are some of the facts which it disinters. The compiler has added a useful summary of the main facts in Carlyle's life.
