{10} Since 1868 the _Reminiscences_ and his _Life_ have been published
which put this estimate of him beyond all doubt. It is much to be
regretted that a certain theory, a certain irresistible tendency to
arrange facts so as to prove preconceived notions, a tendency more
dangerous and unhistorical even than direct suppression of the truth or
invention of what is not true, should have ruined Carlyle’s biography.
Professor Norton’s edition of the _Reminiscences_ should be compared with
Mr. Froude’s.

{180} My aunt Eleanor was thought to be a bit of a pagan by the
evangelical part of our family. My mother when speaking of her to me
used to say, “Your heathen aunt.” She was well-educated, but the better
part of her education she received abroad after her engagement, which
took place when she was eighteen years old. She was the only member of
our family in the upper middle class. Her husband was Thomas Charteris,
junior partner in a bank.
