Enclosed is my mite of contribution to
your fund."I have the honour to be yours truly,
"T. CARLYLE."
"To HAMILTON HUME, Esq.,
"Hon. Sec. 'Eyre Defence Fund.'"
In August, 1867, Carlyle broke silence again with an utterance in the
style of the _Latter-Day Pamphlets_, entitled "Shooting Niagara: and
After?" published anonymously (though everyone, of course, knew it to
be his) in _Macmillan's Magazine_. Shortly afterwards it was reprinted
as a separate pamphlet, with additions, and with the author's name on
the title-page.
In February, 1868, Carlyle wrote some Recollections of Sir William
Hamilton, as a contribution to Professor Veitch's Memoir of that
accomplished metaphysician.
In November, 1870, he addressed a long and very remarkable letter
to the _Times_, on the French-German war, which is reprinted in the
latest edition of his collected Miscellanies.
Two years later (November, 1872) he added a very beautiful Supplement
to the People's Edition of his "Life of Schiller," founded on Saupe's
"Schiller and his Father's Household," and other more recent books on
Schiller that had appeared in Germany.
