We were also iformed that about a year before, some correspon- ;nce relative to the desecration of the House had cen place in the " Daily Chronicle." We pro- led at once to the "Chronicle" office, ransacked file, and found in the issue of September 5, 593, an article headed "A Desecrated Shrine," n'ch we perused with painful eagerness. The ticle, excellent in all respects, and especially as a Jtimony of its writer's regard for the memory of Carlyle, and as regards his indignation at the state into which the House had been allowed to fall, was followed in immediately subsequent issues by 6 HOW THE HOUSE several letters. These were unanimous on the question of the degradation and the necessity for an alteration ; but it did not appear that the writers had ascertained whether they could either lease or buy the house; and the simple but vitally im- portant consideration that the first thing to do was to bind the owner before a hue and cry was raised, which might induce him to raise his price, seemed never to have occurred to any of them. The matter gradually dropped ; the writers had apparently discharged their conscience by a letter to a daily newspaper. Leaving the "Chronicle" office, we made our way to Chelsea. As we were approaching the house, a lady and gentleman were admitted. On our reaching the door a moment later, they were coming out. They could hardly have got beyond the lobby. I felt inclined to turn away; but Mr. Miller, taking a sudden resolution, stalked up to the closing door, and addressed an ugly dirty female face still visible behind it. Certainly we could enter ; and we entered accordingly. Up the old staircase, through several of the rooms, up to the attic study, all was waste, desolation, and dirt, gas fittings half torn down, no furniture whatever visible. Our inspection lasted only a few minutes, and not a word, beyond an ejaculation of dismay, was uttered. I felt unable to put any question to the slattern, and left, Mr. Miller following. As soon as we were outside, he hinted that we had made a mistake in not "getting to know something more." We had made no mistake. We had got to know enough. We had received ample confirmation of what we had been told ; and one of us at least had formed a definite resolution that an effort to save the house must be made. That had become no matter of expediency or otherwise; it had CAME TO BE PURCHASED. 7 become a matter of conscience. Later, when the purchasing of the House came rather prominently before the public, some ingenious people said, what a happy idea to buy the House as a centenary memorial ; but there was no notion whatever about a centenary memorial in the matter. The cen- tenary was a lucky accident of which advantage was taken later, and the thought of it did not in the very smallest degree influence the action either of Mr. Miller or of myself. After a further survey of the whole matter, and the consideration of what was immediately to be done, Mr. Miller and I parted, he going further south, I returning to Manchester. It was decided that the letter to the "Times" should be sent at once, or rather as soon as I had received the option of purchase, and that it should contain a paragraph boldly announcing the opening of a sub- scription list. This meant giving a name and address ; and as, for reasons of no interest to any reader, mine could not be quite conveniently given, Mr. Miller's was chosen. On getting back to Manchester, I rewrote the letter, eliminating or altering the passages that Mr. Miller conceived might give offence, added the announcement of a subscription list, and sent it off to the editor of the "Times," with a note craving its publication. The " Times " newspaper has been known to pub- lish strange letters in its time some of them not genuine letters at all but it could not accept this one of mine, which was at least genuine, and related to a matter that one might presume of sufficient interest for publication in the newspapers, the editors of which consider that their occupation has some real connection with literature. After three or four days days of grace, which I told the editor would be given him I again rewrote the 8 HOW THE HOUSE letter, despatching it to the "Daily Telegraph." Four days more, and nothing came of it. We had not provided fully for this contingency. Mr. Miller was still in the south of England, I just going to Scotland ; time was running on, and still no publicity. After some intricate correspondence, we decided upon the " Standard." Again I re- wrote the letter; and to the private note to the editor of that paper, I added a sentence to the effect that if he feared the letter was written by some one in collusion with the owner of Carlyle's House, I could and would adduce testimony as to my personal character, hinting at the same time that perhaps the letter itself, if properly examined, would be found the best refutation on that par- ticular point. I state this detail here, because I never wrote words with greater reluctance, or with so great a sense of the mean necessities under which a man may have to work. Mr. Miller believed that the other editorial gentlemen might have been deterred from publishing by some sus- picion of the kind referred to, and I was not to endanger our project by a personal disinclination to produce an assurance that, as regards Carlyle's house at any rate, I was "above suspicion." Two days later, Mr. Miller telegraphed me, then in a remote corner of the island, that the letter had appeared in the " Standard " - Thursday, September 6, 1894. After many months of secret incubation, the formless had assumed form, and was alive before the world. I immediately tele- graphed and wrote to some seven of the best- known provincial papers, requesting them to copy the letter, or otherwise give publicity to what it advocated an appeal which was responded to by only one or two of them. Next morning's mail brought Mr. Miller only two letters one from CAME TO BE PURCHASED. g Mr. A. G. Humphry, promising a subscription, and one from Mr. B. E. Pemberton, Solicitor, who, having some time previously had occasion to inquire about the House on behalf of a client, was possessed of certain information that might be useful ; and meantime he warned us against buying a lawsuit along with the property. The following days brought a few further com- munications, and only a few. Matters seemed about to stagnate utterly, when, on my return to Manchester, it was determined to make an effort to compel the attention of the press. Armed with a list of the newspapers published in the three king- doms, we set to work, printed a letter, with a note addressed to each editor, and suddenly, on the 1 9th of the month, launched some 450 all over the country. We imagined that a certain proportion of them would get inserted, sufficient to give us wide publicity any way ; and in point of fact the effect was considerable. Even the " Times " gave a curtailed edition of the letter, and, as we speedily learnt from the cuttings sent us by the agency engaged for that purpose, comments were abundant. All these were perused carefully, although hardly one deserved for its own sake a moment's consideration. One was met at every turn by the perverse ignorance and the shallow impertinence that characterize almost all the ex- pressions of opinion one hears respecting Carlyle. The article quoted below may be regarded as typical. It is thoroughly prosaic, thoroughly igno- rant of the real significance of Carlyle and some other things, and has all that astonishing imper- viousness to any glimmering of an idea that its writer might be wholly mistaken, and talking rather 'discreditable nonsense. In his reference to the possible available memorials the writer of th io HOW THE HOUSE article might have spared his attempt at "smart- ness," that most wretched kind of wit, and in this instance scandalously applied, as those who view Carlyle as I do, will agree with me in thinking ; for every letter published by authority of Mr. Miller and myself contained the assurance that full particulars would be given on application. The reader will glance at the Catalogue, and perhaps think how contemptible all this about "blotting pads," etc., and the "old man's grumblings," really looks now. The article reads : "Some well-meaning people are attempting to acquire, and to set apart for ever, as a national possession, the house in which Carlyle died. There is also talk of making a Carlyle Museum of what ? The slippers he used to wear ? The pipe he used to smoke ? A portion of his last blotting pad ? Echoes of the old man's grumblings ? I do not think that we want a Carlyle Museum, and I have great doubts on the subject of buying the house unless some rich man comes forward. Of course, we ought to keep all the houses of all the great writers ; but it seems hardly likely that a people who a few years ago suffered Milton's house to be pulled down will concern themselves to preserve Carlyle's. More- over, I understand that the younger generation does not read Carlyle. He was a mighty power in the land forty years ago ; all men over fifty, and a great many over forty, can bear witness to the influence of Carlyle's writings upon their own minds. Among his disciples were Maurice and Charles Kingsley. His ' Past and Present,' his ' Sartor Resartus,' his ' French Revolution,' undoubtedly lifted men's minds out of the conventional groove in which they were lying, and brought them back to the realities of things. In those days the younger and the more generous souls revelled in the teaching of Carlyle. But, is his teaching still a source of inspiration for the young men ? I doubt it. Generous souls there are still among the younger men ; of that we must never doubt ; but they find other food. Perhaps Carlyle's ideas have already been assimilated. Perhaps, for the time being, his work is done. He is lying on the shelf, unread. He will certainly become a Classic ; he will be read again by the next generation ; when the history of this century can be written the influence of Carlyle will be treated in a long CAME TO BE PURCHASED. n and important chapter. But about the purchase of that house? As for me, I shall not send my mite for this object, because, though I am old enough to have been educated by Carlyle, I have never at any time entertained any personal feeling, any a fleet ion for the man apart from his works. " There are some authors among the living as well as the dead of whom one would gladly learn everything and pre- serve everything ; one would collect their furniture, their , their letters, their pictures, and the merest trifles that ever belonged to them. These are the authors whose writings make the world love them not the best authors, perhaps, but those who have the power of making their personal qualities felt in their work. Other authors remain to UN, in spite of admirable work, abstractions ; perhaps they repel us. Considering how much of a man's real mind gets into his books, there must be something disagreeable in an author who communicates a repellent image of himself. I should like to tell in these columns with what affection I regard certain living writers and with what repulsion I regard others. But these names can only be whispered. Consider, however, the dead. With what deep and personal love does one regard Addison, Steele, Fielding, Goldsmith, Cowper, Lamb, Shelley, Scott, Dickens, Mrs. Gaskell ! Why, they are one's own close friends. Does one desire, however, a closer acquaintance with Pope, with Wordsworth, with Walter Savage Landor? I would invert the line of Leigh Hunt whom we regard with a kindliness somewhat con- temptuous, as if he didn't signify. He said, ' Write me as one who loved his fellow men.' Speaking as a humble author, I should ask no better gift, no greater success, than this l Write me as one whom all his fellows loved.' " The above appeared in the " Queen " of September 29, 1894: the name of the writer is Walter Besant. Men to whom every word of criticism and com- ment of that kind, and such self-satisfied, self-assured prosing, were detestable, were not likely to be driven from their purpose by any conceivable number of articles of that stamp. Only men half convinced could be frightened by such stuff; and our steady resolution from the first was to fight it down, if fighting it down were possible. I need not enlarge 12 HOW THE HOUSE on this particular phase of the difficulty we had to overcome ; for, if it covered a large space, it was always the same. The strangely misnamed paper called "Truth," with its "utterly idiotic," Sala with his " cheap notoriety hunters," and an anonymous creature whose rabid abuse could not exhaust itself in less than three languages, it was all very pain- ful ; it threatened to be serious ; but it did not for a single instant make us think of capitulation. Only the demonstrated impossibility of finally succeeding would have made us do that ; and we were yet a long way from having exhausted all our resources. Indeed, this kind of opposition had rather the effect of stimulating us to greater activity, if possible ; for whilst the thing we felt bound to do was to attempt the saving of Carlyle's House, without regard to the effect it might produce, this ignorant abuse gave a superadded inducement to persevere, when we considered that the mere rescuing of the House would be a rather emphatic protest against all that. And at this moment, I believe the saving of the house will do much more for Carlyle's memory than some of the abundant biographies and monographs that have appeared in recent years. It is a plain and deliberate announcement that the minds of certain people have never wavered, and that to them Carlyle's significance and greatness are still very clear. Before the newspapers had ceased commenting, we had got from Mrs. Alexander Carlyle (Carlyle's niece) the promise of a considerable number of articles of the old furniture ; we had Mr. Pemberton ready to undertake without reward the intricate legal work probably involved ; we had managed to secure an extension of the option of purchase. With these three definite things, we began operations in a new direction. It was evident that, as publicity alone CAME TO BE PURCHASED. 13 was bringing only very little support, our hope now lay in the formation of a powerful Committee. We already had the name of Dr. R. Spence Watson ; and it did excellent service. For two months we wrote far and near to all likely and desirable men, especially to men of any public note who had been in some measure associated with Carlyle, or who might be presumed to have an interest in him. A rote long letters, short letters, all kinds of letters ; some almost entreating, some intimating rather openly to their recipients that they seemed to us to have a duty in this matter. The result was a series of surprises. Certain men and families from whom we had looked for help with some confidence, would not say a word; others were lukewarm ; many (particularly literary men of a certain class) were haunted by the dread of failure ; only a few were eager and reliable. No one was in our confidence, so as to know the real position, and our counsels were not divided. Gradually, in spite of all, the nucleus, consisting originally of only Dr. Spence Watson, grew to a Committee containing many important names. All the while, in people, ostensible well-wishers, kept slyly and shyly inquiring, Would we succeed? If so, they would join us. It is very miserable, but it is the fact, and ought to be stated. The Carlyle Society of London, in particular (which had been considering the question of buying the House for some years with no practical result, and which had, even after urgent entreaty and a plain statement from me that it surely ought to help, kept altogether back), having got to know that we had now the support of some good names, had the audacity to ask to join, stating that had it been earlier ac- quainted with the fact that we were being helped by such men, it would have joined before. To 14 HO IV THE HOUSE that kind of thing our only reply could be, that the cause was no better a cause than it had been at the beginning ; that deferred favours were question- able benefits, and we were now indifferent. Those familiar with Johnson's castigation of Chesterfield could not have far to go for an answer ; they had only to reduce the size of the men and the scale of the transaction. Early in November a circular was drafted and submitted to all who had promised to join our Committee. It is almost painful to recall how solicitous we were that it should contain nothing but what every member was cognisant of. In later days the names were freely attached to documents that had never been submitted at all, a course unavoidable where the documents were numerous and the Committee large. At last, on the 20th, after two months' labour, of which I have no wish to speak further, except to say that its intensity had broken Mr. Miller's health down (I state this fact in conjunction with a re- minder of the easy-minded prosing in the article above quoted), the circular was despatched. It was sent all over the country and farther, to many hundreds of persons whose addresses we had gleaned from various sources. The next few days were perhaps the most anxious we had yet had. Upon the success or otherwise of that circular we imagined the question finally turned; for we were nearing the end of possible expedients. Replies came in slowly ; the news- papers were again rather " loud ; " and we felt that it was impossible to continue longer, at any rate profitably, without consulting some of our more active supporters. To meet them with a woful tale was what we were anxious to avoid above all things ; for only a few were really eager, and we CAME TO BE PURCHASED. 15 feared that even they might withdraw if our stuu-- ment of the position of affairs were very discourag- ing. But a meeting must be called, and called it accordingly was, for Wednesday, December 19, 1894, at St. Martin's Free Library, St. Martin's Lane, W.C. Mr. Miller, having fortunately some leisure at the time, went to London a few days before the appointed date, and met two or three of our warmest supporters. His reports were only fairly favourable ; the matter was critical. If the meeting were a failure, if nothing definite were done, it would mean the reconstruction of the Committee (probably an impossible undertaking), or the abandonment of the scheme. Abandon the hope of doing something we would not ; indeed, we had already been considering whether at the worst we could not buy and mortgage the House, and, if need be, pay the interest out of our own pockets, what- ever the exaction. But on the Monday morning preceding the meeting, we were thrown into a con- dition of perplexed expectancy by an announce- ment in the newspapers that the German Emperor had promised ^100 to the Fund. I was incredu- lous ; for, though such an act on the part of the Emperor was in itself likely enough, we had, after so many months of struggle, given up the hope of any piece of good fortune. A day later, a copy of the dispatch from Mr. Poultney Bigilow, to whom it had been sent, settled the matter. It was true, and the most welcome news that could have come. The Emperor had given, effectually if unconsciously, the necessary impetus to ensure a successful meet- ing. Some nineteen gentlemen attended ; Mr. Leslie Stephen was appointed Chairman. It was my duty to explain the position, not a pleasant task even with the Emperor's ;ioo before us, and an almost impossible one for me then. I had 16 HOW THE HOUSE drawn out an agenda paper, giving as one item the appointment of an Executive Committee. Would the gentlemen go so far ? If so, all else would be comparatively easy. Yes, they would proceed to organization. An Executive was appointed, Mr. Miller and Mr. Reginald Blunt being Secretaries ; Mr. B. F. Stevens, Treasurer ; Solicitors, Bankers, etc., all in fact that was necessary. We were not to fail after all. The scheme had grown from the work of two men to the work of a large body that could command respect. The press vane began to veer; that is to say, the press accepted a notice of the meeting without adverse comment. The management of the movement had now practically removed to London, where all meetings, both of the General and of the Executive Committee, were held, usually at Dr. Garnett's house at the British Museum. " Begging and preying," as the Trea- surer half humorously, half sadly called it, when it became apparent that even then the effort required to buy the House would be very great, was actively set about, the London Secretary being indefatigable in this and in other directions. Meantime Mr. G. W. Smalley had taken advantage of a visit to New York to organize a Committee there, Mr. Phillips Smalley being appointed Secretary. This Committee, as the perusal of the subscription list will show, worked with great effect ; for the Ameri- can contributions form a large percentage of the whole. A Committee formed in Glasgow by Mr. George Stewart, after infinite pains, was much less successful. Indeed, Scotland's apathy throughout was distressing, rather more distressing than its unquestioning, and in many instances rather igno- rant, enthusiasm about Burns. A suggestion, made originally by the Rev. W. J. CAME TO BE PURCHASED. 17 Dawson, and emphasized by him and one or two others at the first meeting of the Committee, namely, that a public meeting should be held, was gradually worked into a practical scheme, and by the end of January, or early in February, a meeting at the Mansion House had been arranged. Mean- time, could nothing be done to obtain a reduction in the price, and an extension of the option of purchase expiring at the end of February ? Once the announcement of a meeting at the Mansion House was out, there could be no hope of a reduc- tion ; and on the other hand we might, at the end of February, be faced with the withdrawal of the option, except upon impossible terms. So far we had only about ^1,100 towards the ^1,750. Even the most eager of us hardly dared to advocate the Committee's being committed definitely to the purchase. Ultimately it was decided that I should again approach the owner of the House, still before any hint of the coming Mansion House meeting had got out, and endeavour to obtain a reduction in the price, and an extension of the option. I have a very vivid recollection of the interview that followed. In order to be on neutral ground I had suggested that we should meet at a small Yorkshire town not far from the proprietor's home and there we accordingly met, Mr. Miller accompanying me. The proprietor had come fully determined to concede nothing except time; for he had evidently taken pains to inform himself that the movement had good names behind it. We did not hurry the negotiation, and after night a most bitterly cold night had long set in, we had still obtained nothing. At last, after all possible legiti- mate expedients and arguments had been tried, we came to this Would he not put himself on a par with the German Emperor? With some qualifica- C i8 HOW THE HOUSE tions, Yes ; he would nominally give us a donation of ^100, we conceding ^25 (ultimately made ^30) for loss of rent, the price to remain at ^1,750, and the purchase to be completed by the end of April. That was the best we could do. On the 22nd February the meeting at the Man- sion House was held. The Lord Mayor, Sir Joseph Renals, presided, the Marquis of Ripon, His Excellency Mr. Bayard, and the Hon. Leonard Courtney being the prominent speakers. Although the company was large, and the facilities for paying subscriptions ample, the immediate result was insig- nificant. The meeting was, however, widely reported ; and after it we never talked of failure. But funds did not come in quickly. At the end of the month we had still only about ^"1,350. Mr. Blunt and others continued an active canvass, and as we neared the end of April, the date on which the option expired, we found ourselves about able to pay. We had now got to the stage when the men of law must inter- vene, and Mr. Pemberton was prompt. The fine professional "We are not anxious, gentlemen," which passed between him and the Solicitors of the owner, before they could actually " come to business," during which each party knew that the other was really anxious, and did mean business, occupied some little time; but at length, on May 15, 1895, the property was conveyed to me, as Nominee of the Purchase Fund Committee ; and, after an effort extending, to some of us, over more than a year, the old House was safe at last. Having got the House, we had next to consider the question of repairing it. Since about September, when its unfortunate tenant with all her strange attendants had been removed, it had stood empty, and was still in the literally shocking state of filth and disrepair to which reference has already been CAME TO BE PURCHASED. 19 made. Under the supervision of a sub-committee and an architect, a general overhauling was imme- diately set about, and by the middle of July all was complete. On the 26th the House was opened to the public, without formality of any kind. Before this, and for a considerable time after, the method of vesting the property in some perma- nent body had been discussed. Nothing satisfac- tory could be arrived at short of an application to the Board of Trade for a licence whereby a Trust could be formed under the Companies' Acts. A Memorandum and Articles of Association, a copy of which is appended, were drawn up, the Board of Trade licence obtained, and finally, on the 2Qth of October, 1895, "The Carlyle's House Memorial Trust " was registered ; our last serious difficulty had disappeared. With the incorporation of the Trust, the old Com- mittee, which had been so laboriously got together, became practically obsolete ; but it continued until the conveyance of the property, and the handing of it over, to the Trust. Through the exertions of Mr. Blunt, many interesting memorials were collected at the house with a view to opening an exhibition on December 4, the centenary of Carlyle's birth ; and it was decided that on that day also the property should be handed over to the Trust. In the morning the exhibition was opened ; in the afternoon, at the United States Embassy, I, still acting as Nominee of the old Committee, conveyed the property to the new Trust. The work of the Carlyle's House Pur- chase Fund Committee was done, to the very last item ; and Carlyle's old Home became the property of a body which is likely to continue, and be able to protect and guard it, as long as the old brick walls will stand. Later in the day a public meeting in commemo- 20 HOW THE HOUSE ration of the Centenary, was held at the Polytechnic Institute, Chelsea, when the Rev. Gerald Blunt, on behalf of the Purchase Fund Committee, handed the Deed over to Dr. Garnett as representing the Trust, a little formal act transacted "amid applause." Alfred Miller and I had received some- thing else than applause fifteen months before that, when struggling for the means of informing the public that Carlyle's House was in a sad state, and for the means to save it : and we did not listen to the applauses. Speeches were delivered by gentlemen who had shown no disposition to be helpful at the moment of real need : to make speeches is easier for some men than to help a good cause. But one need not comment upon the meeting or the speeches ; although the soldier who has fought the hard day's fight, and is lying down in weariness, hoping for quiet and repose, may well resent the flourishing of some roistering trumpeter, who, having escaped the fray, makes a needless and untimely din. The perusal of the subscription list will show that support came from many lands, and from as far as the Antipodes ; it will show also that several who rendered us help have already "gone over to the great majority." Some were taken away while the result was still doubtful ; some after it was known that we should succeed. By far the severest blow the Committee sustained was the death of Mrs. Alexander Carlyle (Mary Carlyle Aitken). At the very outset she manifested her interest in the cause by promising, as already stated, certain of the old furnishings ; and her interest and helpfulness con- tinued invaluable throughout. She died somewhat suddenly on May 30 last, and had thus lived long enough to know that the house was safe. Those CAME TO BE PURCHASED. 21 who know what she was to Carlyle during the last thirteen years of his life, his faithful companion and amanuensis, and know the persistent effort she made to stem the tide of calumny that swept over Carlyle's memory after the publication of the " Reminiscences " and the " Life," will always remember her with affectionate gratitude. Carlyle's references to her (frequent in his correspondence after she came to Cheyne Row in 1868) testify in every instance to his appreciation of her, and to her devotion to what must have been a constantly trying task. After his death, the task was still more trying,- the rebutting of malevolent aspersion, and in that task, too, she unweariedly persevered. The fruits of her labour she never saw, but those who are to live when Carlyle's name shall again be honoured, will perhaps remember that his first and m much larger, inasmuch as it was thought desir- able to aim at the formation of a Maintenance Fund. \\ e have not been able to accomplish that end, desirable as it is; but there is every likelihood that the House will be self-supporting. From July 26, 1895, to April 26, 1896, the period during which the House has bjen open, there have been 3,800 visitors. They come from all lands, and the more hopeful amongst us maintain that the House must yet become a much-frequented place of pilgrimage. Places not half so memorable or worthy have attained that distinction ; and those who know the abiding quality of Carlyle's work, cannot but believe that students will be glad to see the House where he lived and wrought, through good and evil report, for nigh half a century, leaving behind him in his books a monument which will last through the ages, long after the old House, which we have been so anxious to preserve, has been levelled with the earth. This is all I had to say about how Carlyle's House came to be purchased. Amongst many things wrongly and badly done, one is gratified to have had a hand in a thing which is done neither 26 HO IV THE HOUSE W 'AS PURCHASED. wrongly nor badly ; and one can feel that gratifica- tion, accompanied though it be by the consideration that the saving of such a House ought not to have been left to the chance intervention of the private individual. The Nation's inaction is its own criti- cism. It is for the time indifferent to Carlyle and his teaching, and cannot be congratulated on that account. If at this moment I remember the gainsayers, with their denunciation and impertinence, (which we have survived very well), surely too I remember with gratitude the long list of those whom I cannot mention and shall never see, whose assistance has enabled us to carry out our purpose. Many of them will never see the House, and so for them primarily this little book has been prepared, with various particulars and illustrations, in order that there may be brought home to them some notion of the work which they have helped to accomplish. GEORGE A. LUMSDEN. LONDON, 2nd May, 1896. CAKLYLE'S HOME IN CHEYNE ROW, CHELSEA. S is Great Cheyne Row, 1708;" so reads the stone tablet fixed in the outer gable wall of the southmost house of the terrace. This, inde- pendently of other available evidence, fixes the date of the building of the terrace, consisting originally of twelve houses : one hundred and eighty-eight years ago one year after the legislative union of England and Scotland, and six years after the ac- cession of Queen Anne to the throne. The name "Cheyne" is commemorative of Lord Cheyne, who owned the site. ( ireat Cheyne Row, as it used to be called, runs north and south, at right angles to Cheyne Walk and the Thames, the houses fronting westwards up the northern bank of the river. The outlook in this direction at least, must have been very pretty and rural in those days, when the whole village of Chelsea contained only some three hun- dred houses. And even in 1834 from the back windows " nothing was visible," Carlyle says, " but leafy clumps, green fields, and red high-peaked roofs glimmering through them : a most clear, pleasant prospect in these fresh westerly airs. Of London nothing visible but Westminster Abbey and the 28 CARLYL&S HOME IN CHELSEA. topmost dome of St. Paul's ; other faint ghosts of spires (one other, at least) disclose themselves as the smoke cloud shifts." In outward appearance, the Row presents no very striking feature. The houses were originally of three and a half storeys, with sunk (partly underground) kitchens and offices. They are of red brick, and their having stood so many years with little trace of decay testifies to their having been substantially built. Whilst the elements have not wrought such changes on them as might have been expected, the occupiers or owners have at various times some- what altered the look of individual houses : in some the roofs have been heightened to give more room in the attics; to one (now No. 22) a portico and verandah have been added ; and Orange House, at the end furthest from the river, once the largest and finest of the terrace, has in recent years been taken down, and an incongruous Roman Catholic church built in place of it. During Carlyle's occupancy of No. 5 (now No. 24), considerable alterations, internal as well as external, were made in 1852 and 1853, as a later portion of this account will show. In the spring of 1834 l Carlyle and his wife finally resolved to leave Craigenputtock, their moorland home, where they had lived for six years, and to remove to London. A friend, Mrs. Austin, then living in Bayswater, having written that what might prove a desirable house was to let in her neighbour- hood, Carlyle, believing that houses in London as in Scotland changed tenants chiefly at Whitsuntide, left home rather hurriedly on the 8th of May to secure the house mentioned by Mrs. Austin, or some other, in time for the 26th of May. On his 1 " Yesterday we for the first time spoke seriously of setting off for London, to take up our abode there next Whit- sunday !" Carlyle's Journal t 21 February, 1834. CARLYLES HOME IN CHELSEA. 29 arrival, he soon discovered that Whitsuntide was not a " term day " at all in London, and that, at any rate, the house suggested by Mrs. Austin would not suit. Then began a prolonged search far and wide for a house. Bayswater, Kensington, Brompton, Chelsea, Camden Town, Regent's Park, and even Hampstead, were investigated. Carlyle's letters to his wife describe house after house in these locali- ties, and bear witness to his diligence in the painful search. In one of these letters, written at his lodgings, 4, Ampton Street, Gray's Inn Road, on Wednesday evening, the 2ist of May, to his wife, then engaged in "burning the ships" (winding up affairs at Craigenputtock), he gives his impressions of No. 5, Cheyne Row, after his second visit to it. The following extracts from this letter may be inserted here as they contain an excellent description of the Row and its surroundings in 1834 : "After surveying all this 1 on Monday, I went down to Chelsea ; found Hunt . . . smoked a pipe with him, and then went out again for Houses, tho' with comparatively little care about them. Not a gunshot from Hunt's I came upon another house [his first view of 'No. 5'], greatly the best in quality and quantity I have yet seen. I went down again to-day. ... It is notable how at every new visit your opinion gets a little hitch the contrary way from its former tendency ; imagination has outgone the reality. I nevertheless still feel a great liking for this excellent old House, and it almost balances the Brompton one. Chelsea is unfashionable ; it was once the resort of the Court and great, however ; hence numerous old houses in it, ?t once cheap and excellent. 1 A house in Brompton which he thought would answer. 30 CARLYLE'S HOME IN CHELSEA. " The street makes a right angle with Hunt's [in Upper Cheyne Row] and runs down upon the River, which I suppose you might see, by stretching out your neck from our front windows, at a distance of 50 yards on the left.

The street is flag-pathed, sunk-storied, iron-railed, all old-fashioned and tightly done up ; looks out on a rank of sturdy old pollarded (that is beheaded) Lime trees, standing there like giants in tawtie l wigs (for the new boughs arc still young), beyond this a high brick wall, on 1 Unkempt. 32 CARLYLE'S HOME IN CHELSEA. the inside of which, from our upper storeys, appear a garden surrounded with rather dim houses and questionable miscellanea, among other things clothes drying. Backwards, a Garden (the size of our back one at Comley Bank *) with trees, &c., in bad culture; beyond this, green hay fields and tree- avenues (once a Bishop's pleasure-grounds), an un- picturesque, yet rather cheerful outlook. The House itself is eminent, antique ; wainscotted to the very ceiling, and has been all new-painted and repaired ; broadish stair, with massive balustrade (in the old style) corniced and as thick as one's thigh ; floors firm as a rock, wood of them here and there worm- eaten, yet capable of cleanness, and still thrice the strength of a modern floor. And then as to room, Goody ! 2 . . . Three storeys besides the sunk story ; in every one of them three apartments in depth (something like forty feet in all ; for it was thirteen of my steps !) : thus there is a front dining-room (marble chimney-piece, &c.); then a back dining- room (or breakfast-room) a little narrower (by reason of the kitchen stair); then out from this a china-room, or pantry, or I know not what, all shelved, and fit to hold crockery for the whole street. Such is the ground area, which of course con- tinues to the top, and furnishes every bed-room with a dressing-room, or even with a second bed-room. Red Bed will stand behind the drawing-room ; might have the shower bath beyond it : the height of this story is 10 feet; of the ground floor 9 feet and some inches; of the topmost floor [/.*., the second floor] 8 feet 6 inches ; of the kitchen (where is a Pump, and room forever) about 1 The Carlyles lived at Comley Bank, Edinburgh, for eighteen months after their marriage, before removing to Craigenputtock. 2 Carlyle's pet name for his wife.

In Chelsea is, or lies ready for being, a kitchen jack ; from the boiler house the boiler ('coppa') is taken out but 'would be replaced.' No back door (communicating with the street) ; bells in disorder but would be rectified ; new locks, some of which threatened to act d la Puttock? but seemed very oilless. On the whole a most massive, roomy, sufficient old house ; with places, for example, to hang say three dozen hats or cloaks on ; and as many crevices, and queer old presses, and shelved closets (all tight and new- painted in their way) as would gratify the most covetous Goody. Rent ^35 ! I confess I am strongly tempted ; yet again incline rather towards the Brompton place (for what use have we for so much room?) and so go wavering between the two. Chelsea is a singular, heterogeneous kind of spot, very dirty and confused in some places, quite beautiful in others, abounding with antiquities and the traces of great men : Sir T. More, Steele, Smollett, &c., &c. Our Row (which for the last three doors or so is a street and none of the noblest) runs out upon a beautiful * Parade ' (perhaps they call it) running along the shore of the River : shops, &c., a broad highway, with huge shady trees ; boats lying moored, and a smell of shipping and tar; Battersea bridge (of wood) a few yards off ; the broad River with white - trousered, white - shirted Cockneys dashing by like arrows in their long canoes of Boats; beyond, the green beautiful Knolls of Surrey with their villages : on the whole a most artificial, green-painted, yet lively, fresh, almost opera-looking business such as you can fancy." 1 i.e. after the manner of the locks at Craigenputtock. D 34 CARLYLKS HOME IN CHELSEA. Mrs. Carlyle's reply (27th May) to the letter from which the above quotations are made, contains the following : "And now, my Darling, with respect to these two houses, I declare to thee they both look so attractive on paper, that I cannot tell which I ought to prefer. ... I have great liking to that massive old concern with the broad staircase and abundant accommodation for crockery ! And dressing-rooms to one's bedrooms is charming ! I should not quarrel with the quantity. . . . But is it not too near the River? I should fear it would be a very foggy situation in winter, and always damp and unwholesome. And the wainscot up to the ceilings, is it painted ? If in the original state hardly any number of candles (never to speak of ' only two ') will suffice to light it. And another idea presents itself along with that wainscot, if bugs have been in the house ! Must they not have found there as well as the inmates 'room without end'? The other again does not attract me so much, but, to make up for that, suggests no objection ; so keep them both open, if you can, till I come : and if you are constrained to decide, that you may not let both slip through your hands, do it with perfect assurance that Goody will approve your choice. The neighbourhood I would not let be a material point in your deliberations. You have a pair of effectual legs to take you wherever you please ; and for me, my chief enjoyment, I imagine, will always be in the society of my own heart's darling, and within my own four walls, as heretofore. . . .

Additional particulars in answer to the above I YL&S HOME IN CHELSEA. 35 rere sent in his next letter, 3oth of May, a sentence or two from which may also be given : " I was at Chelsea and Brompton again yester- day. . . . The Chelsea house on the whole looked distinctly preferable to me yesterday (for I told you they varied from day to day). . . .

The only ones I shall trouble you with looking at, besides the two, are one in Kensington and one in Bays water." Mrs. Carlyle joined her husband in London on the 4th of June. Together they viewed the houses which he had selected, and many others besides, spending some three days " dashing up and down in all manner of conveyances, where such were to be had cheap; and walking where not." The Chel- sea house did not exactly please Mrs. Carlyle at first, but after comparison with other specimens it was ultimately found to be " nearly twice as good as any other we could get for the money." So on Saturday, the ;th of June, they "finally fixed" on No. 5. The house was taken on yearly Agreement " for one year certain " from the 24th of June, with option of continuing as yearly tenants or of leaving on giving six months' notice.

There is annexed to the Agreement (of 1834) a list of fixtures, curiously minute, enumerating " bell-wires and cranks," "locks and keys," "stoves and ranges," "a 23 inch Copper," and in the yard "a large water- butt, with large brass cock, and stand," &c. The tenant agreed to pay for a new range for the front kitchen and the cost of setting it, and the landlord to refund to him ^7 35. " therefor at any time the said Thomas Carlyle shall quit the said premises." CARLYL&S HOME IN CHELSEA. 37 TAKING POSSESSION OF THE HOUSE, On Tuesday, the loth of June, the Carlyles left their lodgings, 4, Ampton Street, Gray's Inn Road (the house of the Mileses, where they had been staying during the search for a house, and where, also, they had passed the winter of 1831-2), and with their maidservant, Bessy Barnet, 1 proceeded by coach to Chelsea, to enter into possession of No. 5, Cheyne Row. Carlyle gives in the "Jane Welsh Carlyle," written immediately after his wife's death in 1866, the following account of the journey, and of the kind of life passed during the first few days in their new home : " \Ve proceeded all through Belgrave Square hither, with our Servant, our looser luggage, our- selves and a little canary bird (' Chico,' which she 2 had brought with her from Craigenputtock) ; one hackney coach rumbling on with us all. Chico, in Belgrave Square, burst into singing, which we took as a good omen. We were all of us striving to be cheer- ful (she needed no effort of striving) : but we ' had burnt our ships,' and at bottom the case was grave. I don't remember our arriving at this door ; but I do the cheerful Gypsy life we had here among the litter and carpenters, for three incipient days. Leigh Hunt was in the next street, sending kind ////prac- tical messages ; in the evenings, I think, personally coming in : we had made acquaintance with him 1 "Of distinguished qualities and fortunes," Carlyle says ; she remained only a few months at Cheyne Row, became by- and -by the wife of Dr. Blakiston (an able physician and kind friend to both Mr. and Mrs. Carlyle). She died in London four or five years ago. 3 His wife. 38 CARLYLRS HOME IN CHELSEA. (properly he with us) just before leaving [London] in Spring, 1832." "And here we spent our two and thirty years of hard battle against Fate; hard but not quite unvictorious, when she left me as in her car of heaven's fire." He says further, in a note which he appended to one of his wife's letters on reading them through in 1868: "The business of sorting and settling, with two or three good carpenters already on the ground, was at once gone into with boundless alacrity, and under such management as hers went on at a mighty rate. ... In about a week, it seems to me, all was swept and garnished, fairly habitable, and con- tinued incessantly to get itself polished, civilized and beautiful to a degree that surprised me." On 27th June he wrote to his brother Alick, giving, amongst other things, a most interesting account (hitherto unpublished) of the arrangement of the furniture, the occupation of the rooms, &c., and general impressions of their new home : " The house here continues to satisfy us amaz- ingly : it is spacious, well-aired, quiet, clean, every way sufficient. The two under rooms (which by folding doors are one) have got the old Puttock drawing-room carpet on them, with cer- tain strips of dyed blankets most judi- ciously fitted in to help ; and now with their two windows looking out into the quiet street where little but green leaves and branches is visi- ble, and their one Tjt-E KjjOCKELrV CARLYLE'S HOME 7.V CHELSEA. window into the garden and clean flagged court, form, with their strong old-fashioned Scotch furniture, really one of the agreeablest apartments I ever sat in : unfashionable in the highest degree, but in the highest degree com- fortable and serviceable. The green drawing-room curtains are there ; a pair of green Venetian blinds are to be there very soon, for the two front windows. The Piano, 1 just about getting tuned, is in the front room, with the round drawing-room table, and chairs and etceteras enough : the little clock is on his bracket in the back room, with the dining room oval table. It is here where we sit in dewy morning sunshine, and breakfast on hot coffee and the best of bread and butter. " I myself am upstairs (as now) in the front room at my old writing-table, 3 with one of the dining- room chairs for personal use, and some eight other ornamental London ones of cherry wood and cane bottoms, bought for some eight-and-six apiece, really very handsome. ... I bought a large second-hand press for my Books, fully larger than the Scotsbrig one, now our Mother's, and all of the best workman- ship and beautifullest dark 'Onjuras mayugany' (Honduras mahogany) for 4 : a most sturdy suffi- 1 Not the piano which stood there, or in the drawing-room, in later years.

And now in this and in two other strange wall presses (with which the old house abounds), all my Books are safe stored ; and the red carpet and red curtains being fitted in, and everything as dry as a bone, I sit quite snug, and * far better than I deserve.' We also find Chelsea exceedingly convenient for shops and the like, which is a thing nowise universal in the other suburbs." Mrs. Carlyle also seemed equally well pleased with their bargain. She writes shortly after the set- tlement in Cheyne Row : " Well ! is it not strange that I am here ; sitting in my own hired house by the side of the Thames, as if nothing had happened; with fragments of Haddington, of Comley Bank, of Craigenputtock in- terweaved with Cockney calities into a very habitable whole ? . . . We have got an excellent lodgement, of most antique physiognomy, quite to our humour ; all wainscotted, carved and queer-looking, roomy, substantial, commodious, with closets to satisfy any Bluebeard. . . . Two weeks ago there was a row of ancient trees in front, but some crazy-headed Cock- neys have up-rooted them. Behind we have a garden (so called in the language of flattery) in the worst of order, but boasting of two vines which pro- duced two bunches of grapes in the season, which c might be eaten,' and a walnut tree, from which I gathered almost sixpence worth of Walnuts." CARLYLES HOME /A CHELSEA. 41 OF THE ROOMS ; HOW OCCUPIED AND FURNISHED. Ground Floor. Front Dining-room. On entering the house from the street, the first door to the left leads into this room. It was used up till 1853 as the drawing- room, and is frequently spoken of as the " parlour." It has two windows overlooking the street, and folding doors hang between it and the room behind. At first it was furnished with the Craigenputtock drawing-room furniture : in the centre stood the eight-legged round table, used as the dining-table in late years, and now (1896) forming part of the property of the Trust (see No. 8 in Catalogue). It is really a double table, each half, with semicircular top on four legs, may be used alone as a side- table, or the two may be clamped together to form a round table of about four feet in diameter. A piano stood in the recess to the left of the fireplace, and a small three-shelved bookcase to the right, and along the opposite wall stood a couch. The chairs had originally formed part of the dining- room suite of Dr. Welsh of Haddington (Mrs. ( 'arlyle's father). There were twelve of them (two having arms), substantial, well-proportioned ma- hogany chairs covered in horsehair. It is of them that Carlyle writes in the " Reminiscences " : " Repeatedly have upholsterers asked : ' Who made these chairs, ma'am ? ' In Cockneydom nobody in our day : unexampled prosperity makes another kind." They were made, it may further be re- marked, by an Edinburgh firm over a hundred years ago, and have ever since been in daily use. Carlyle always used one of the armchairs as his writing chair, and two of the set (one ordinary, one arm) now form part of the property of the Trust (see Nos. 9 and 1 1 5 in Catalogue). The windows 42 CARLYL&S HOME IN CHELSEA. had new green Venetian blinds, and the green curtains brought from Craigenputtock, and, many years afterwards, cane blinds in addition. The Craigenputtock drawing-room carpet, supplemented by a border, served to cover the floors both of this room and the room behind it. On the newly- papered walls hung the best of the Craigenputtock pictures. 1 Mrs. Carlyle, writing on 5th September, 1836 (on her return from a visit to Scotland), says : " My best room looked really inviting. A bust of Shelley (a present from Leigh Hunt), and a fine print of Albert Diirer's (also a present) 2 had still further ornamented it in my absence." It was into this room that Edward Irving was ushered when he paid his one visit to Cheyne Row, in Autumn, 1834. "I recollect how he compli- mented her (as he well might) on the pretty little room she had made for her husband and self, and running his eye over her dainty bits of arrange- ment, ornamentations, all so frugal, simple, full of grace, propriety and ingenuity as they ever were, said, smiling, 'You are like an Eve, and make a little Paradise wherever you are.' " When Mrs. Carlyle's mother died (25th February, 1842), a large quantity of furniture, pictures, &c., was brought up from her home (Templand), and some of it placed in this room. The piano men- tioned above was disposed of, and Mrs. Welsh's one substituted, but this was at a later period removed to the drawing-room upstairs. In 1858 the large bookcase ' l was brought down from the room above, 1 For a list of the pictures throughout the house see p. 101, et seq. - From John Sterling. 15 " Reminiscences," ii. 215. 4 This bookcase has cupboards beneath, enclosed by four panelled doors ; it now stands in its original place in the "" ; CARLYL&S HOME 7.V CHELSEA. 43 which had been converted into the drawing-room in 1853, and placed against the south wall, closing up the door into the passage. And later still, an open bookcase of the same height as the large one was placed in the recess to the right of the fireplace ; and in the recess to the left (next the window) stood composite piece of furniture in three separate parts: d) a two-shelved open bookcase; (2) on it a mahogany secretaire, which Carlyle used mainly for his business papers, and on which he wrote the greater part of the "Reminiscences"; and (3) above the secretaire still, were placed open bookshelves reaching to the cornice. A narrow set of book- shelves, extending from the chairband to the cornice, was fixed between the windows. When the study was dismantled on the completion of " Friedrich," in 1865, a set of pedestal drawers, and a little ma- hogany table (inlaid with white holly), having a drawer, sliding leaves, and slender turned legs, were brought down hither. In later years, also, a large mirror in gilt frame (presented by Lord Ashburton) stood above the mantel, and on the shelf a beautiful pair of candlesticks of ivory and ebony, which Mr. Anthony Sterling had himself made and presented to Mrs. Carlyle. About 1850, the massive steel grate, now restored, was substituted for the common register of earlier years. Carlyle frequently wrote in this room, and the last of the many house-cleanings and repairings ("domestic earthquakes") superintended by Mrs. Carlyle was the repainting, repapering, and fitting of it up in 1865 as his future study. Back Dining-room. This room, entered either from the passage or from the front room by the drawing-room (along the south wall), and has been altered by the addition of glass doors to the upper part, which was formerly open (see No. 26 in Catalogue). 44 CARLYL&S HOME IN CHELSEA. folding-doors, was used as the dining-room until 1853. I n tne centre of the room stood a mahogany oval table with folding leaves, slender square tapering legs, two of which swung out to support the leaves when extended. It had been the dining- table at Craigenputtock. The clock stood on the bracket fixed to the east wall between the one window of this room and the door leading into the china closet. The chairs were part of the dining- room suite above referred to. When the furniture from Templand arrived in 1842, a sofa, a sideboard, a table, pictures, &c., were added to this room. The sofa stood to the left of the fireplace, and the sideboard along the south wall, to the right as one enters from the passage ; the table (a square one with folding leaves, now at Ecclefechan), in the recess by the window. The sideboard, the whole of the front of which consists of the finest "figured" mahogany inlaid in pretty patterns bordered with ebony, was probably the handsomest piece of furniture in the house. Beneath the centre of it stood an octagonal brass-bound " wine cooler " on casters. A large bookcase, wide enough to fill the recess to the left of the fireplace, and high enough to touch the cornice, was placed there in late years, when many books had accumulated. It was made according to Carlyle's design, and is now (1896) restored to its old place (see No. 1 2 in Catalogue). After his death it was, on being removed to another house, made about six inches lower by cutting the uprights at the bottom, the lowest shelf originally admitted folios. Between the window and the china-closet door was fixed a narrow set of book- shelves, similar to those mentioned as placed between the windows of the front parlour. The sofa, which had stood where the large bookcase CARLYLE' S HOME IN CHELSEA. 45 now stands, was removed to one of the bed- rooms. Mention should also be made of the famous screen, which sometimes stood in this room at the end of the sideboard next the door, and sometimes in the drawing- room. It is an ordinary four- fold screen - about four fe< high, on every part of which Mrs. Carlyle had pasted, "with her own hands," prints, engravings, portraits of men, women, horses, dogs, &c., arranged in a very artistic way. It was specifically be- queathed by the codicil to Carlyle's Will in the following words : "I give and bequeath the Screen which stands in the Drawing-room ... to my dear Niece, Mary Carlyle Aitken, who best knows the value I have always put upon it, and will best take care of it to the end of her life when I am 46 CARLYL&S HOME IN CHELSEA. gone. She knows by whom it was made, and I wish her to accept it as a testimony of the trust I repose in her, and as a mark of my esteem for her honourable, veracious and faithful character, and a memorial of all the kind and ever faithful service she has done me." The China Closet. This little apartment, " fitted with shelves all round," as stated in the schedule of fixtures (Agreement of 1834), was altered in 1843, and furnished as part of the back dining- room, the shelves being removed and a window opened out in the south wall. A little black table with bow-shaped legs (" claw-and-ball " feet) was placed along the east wall, facing the door, and upon it stood a beautiful bright steel box, pre- sented by Anthony Sterling on his return from the Crimea. The box is made of cedar wood covered with very thin steel plates stamped into patterns. The north-west corner was occupied by a cupboard ; and the north wall afforded space for the three- shelved, dwarf bookcase brought hither in late years from the front dining-room. Beneath the table generally stood the little arm- chair (Jane Welsh's when a child) which had been brought to Cheyne Row amongst the other Temp- land furnishings. It is thus referred to in Carlyle's Will : " To her [his niece, Miss M. C. Aitken] I give ... the little child's chair (in the China closet) which ... to my eyes has always a brightness as of Time's morning and a sadness as of Death and Eternity when I look on it; and which ... I have the weak wish to preserve in loving hands yet awhile when I am gone ; " and in a letter to CAKLYL&S HOME IN CHELSEA. 4 7 his wife, dated 25th April, 1842, he says of it : " The wee chair ! It was like to make me weep as it stood yonder at Templand, and so much had come and gone since /'/ was occupied ! " 48 CARLYL&S HOME IN CHELSEA. First Floor. Ascending the stairs with their spirally-turned balusters and heavy hand-rail, the visitor will find, on reaching the landing, two doors, one in front, one to the right; the former leads into the " library " (in later years the drawing-room), the latter into a bedroom, off which is a dressing-room corresponding in size and position to the china closet on the ground floor. The Library or Drawing-room. This room was originally of the same width as the parlour beneath it, but longer than that room (from north to south) by the width of the hall or passage. Prior to 1852, when it was considerably altered and enlarged, the fireplace and chimney-breast extended some four feet into the room ; in the recesses to the right and left were "queer old presses," in the latter of which was a narrow window looking out on to the street. These "presses" extended to the ceiling, and were in fact little rooms; and it has been said that the one with the window was intended for a " powdering room." The three large windows (overlooking the street) were smaller, and higher from the floor than they now are, and the room itself three feet narrower. The chief articles of furniture were Carlyle's writing-table, 1 one of the dining-room armchairs for his own use, eight new cane-bottomed chairs, the oval centre table now in its old place (see No. 36 in Catalogue), the large mahogany bookcase (a London purchase), also in its old place, as pre- 1 Made about the beginning of the century for Dr. Welsh by an amateur carpenter, a retired military man at Had- dington. CARI.YLVS HOME IX CHELSEA. 49 viously stated, along the south wall, whilst the Craigenputtock red carpet covered the floor, and the red curtains hung by the windows. At night there stood on the centre table a candle lamp, to which Carlyle thus refers in a letter to his mother, 1 2th September, 1834: " Lastly, we have got a most beautiful lamp of the sinumbra kind ; and sit by it nightly TMK WRITING TMM.K AND CHAIR. over our needlework and papers, really most beautifully illuminated, at no great cost. It is a device of Jane's, who loves light passionately, a most innocent passion." This sinumbra (shadow less) lamp was constructed to hold and burn a large wax candle always being raised by a spring as it E 50 CARLYLES HOME IN CHELSEA. was consumed. The lamp is now again in the House, but, most unluckily, the shade was broken when being brought from Ecclefechan on its pre- sentation to the Trust (see No. 14 in Catalogue). A very large secondhand sofa of beech, with the front and arms carved and stained, was bought by Mrs. Carlyle in October, 1835. She says of it in writing to her husband, " I came, saw, and bought a sofa ! ... so soon as you set eyes on it and behold its vastness, its simple greatness, you will perceive that the thought of you was actively at work in my choice." It stood in the north-west corner of the room with its back to the outer wall. For the rest, the room was then furnished as a literary workshop, simply and appropriately ; it was not used as a reception room, except perhaps for the most intimate friends, and then chiefly in the evening. After the death of Mrs. Welsh, the drawing-room chairs from Templand took the place of the cane chairs, which were distributed amongst the bed- rooms. Of the former, twelve in number, two have been presented to the Trust, and are now in the room (see No. 35 in Catalogue). They are made of English elm, in the style called Chippendale, and are large and substantial, but perhaps too heavy-looking to be called elegant. Almost the only decoration attempted is a hand-carved " Prince of Wales' Feather " at the top of each of the three inner bars of the back. In the house -cleaning and repairing of 1843, some considerable alterations, if not improvements, were made in this room : the library door was " turned " (/>., made to open the opposite way changed from a "left hand" to a "right hand" door) ; the closet or press to the left of the fireplace was removed, and a movable bookcase substituted, CARLYLVS HOME IN CHELSEA. 51 and the other press altered, Jww is not said. The walls where the press had been were battened out, the cornice and skirting continued round the room, and two more bookcases were fixed ; the beautiful wainscot was hidden under canvas and paper ; and the other woodwork all painted and varnished. So the library continued until the year 1852, when the oft-renewed specula- tion of quitting London and retiring to the country was settled in the negative. The Carlyles decided to take a long lease of the house, and to alter and repair it to their taste. Specifications and estimates were procured, and in consideration of the permanent improvement to be effected to the property by the carrying out of these, and of the unusual length of the lease (a u repairing " one, 52 CARLYL&S HOME IN CHELSEA. too), the rent was not raised, although no doubt the rental value had somewhat increased since 1834. The term of the lease was thirty-one years from 24th June, 1852, and the "parties thereto, Alfred Oldridge and Thomas Carlyle." The specifications and builder's receipts are still extant, and show that the " repairs " on this occa- sion were both extensive and expensive. The chief work was on the library : " an enlargement of it into a kind of Drawing-room according to modern ideas," Carlyle says ; but many other improvements were made : water was laid on from the waterworks (one cistern being placed on the upper half-landing, another in the kitchen); 1 gas was also introduced, although only to the lamp above the front door, and a new kitchen range was fixed, with water supply to its boiler. The alterations, which it was promised would take but six weeks from the 5th July, 1852, were through mismanagement not actually com- pleted for about a year. The enlargement of the library was effected in two ways : By moving its east wall outwards, an addi- tional width of three feet at the expense, of course, of the bedroom behind it and of the landing was obtained; and secondly, by cutting back the huge protruding fireplace and chimney-breast (a process which had to be repeated in the room directly above) and clearing the recesses to the right and left, two or three feet were gained in length. A new floor was laid here, as also in the two bed- rooms on the second floor. A Bramah grate was set in the fireplace, similar to the one in the front parlour (but with small blue-coloured Dutch tiles, 1 Though water was laid on in the house, it was not until 1874 that it was carried to the " water-closet," which was (and is) outside in the garden, some 12 or 15 feet from the house.

The narrow window mentioned above was bricked up ; the three large windows of the room were lengthened by cutting down the brickwork beneath them ; new sashes with thin bars took the place of the heavy old-fashioned ones, and afforded a great in- crease of light, although the lower sashes were glazed with ground (or obscured) glass. New shutters and new Venetian outside blinds were added; and a double door was made in the new wall into the bedroom behind. Two new book- cases, with cupboards under, enclosed by panelled doors, were built in the recesses to the right and 54 CARLYLE'S HOME IN CHELSEA. left of the fireplace. 1 New papering, painting, and varnishing, the total cost being nearly ^400, com- pleted the work by the end of June, 1853. Thus remodelled, the room continued to be used as Carlyle's study. Writing to his brother Alick, 8th April, 1853, he says: "I believe this [the re- pairs, &c., of 1852 and 1853] has cost more than twice as much money, and perhaps five times as much time and bother as you, had you been here on the spot, would have brought us through for. I have, tho' unpapered and unpainted as yet, an ex- cellent, large, wholesome room to sit in 19 feet by 1 8 or more." And to Dr. Carlyle, on 27th June following : " I am banished hither [to the front bed- room, second floor] for a week past by the painter people, who I hope are departing forevermore." They did at last depart, but only to be soon called in again. The " excellent, large, wholesome room " was found intolerable from noise. The street noises had been gradually increasing with the in- crease of population in the once quiet suburb, and with the failure of the improved library, a " sound- proof" room at the top of the house, which had long been talked of, was at length decided on. It was completed early in 1854, as will be explained later, and Carlyle having taken possession of it, the library became and remained the drawing-room a room of which Mrs. Carlyle was justly proud. She quotes her neighbour as saying, "with a look of envy," " You couldn't have got a house with such a room in it under ^150 a year." A good deal of furniture, especially of the ornamental sort, was added to what has already been mentioned. Two 1 These bookcases were "landlord's fixtures," and so were left in the house when the lease expired in 1883. At a later date they were removed piecemeal (by a tenant or builder), made up again, and sold as "Carlyle's bookcases." CARLYLPS HOME IN CHELSEA. 55 pier-glasses, reaching from the skirting board to the cornice, were fixed between the windows, and a large mirror over the mantelshelf. In 1858 a copy of Pesne's portrait of Friedrich and \Vilhelmina was presented by Lord Ashburton, 1 and was hung on the south wall, the large bookcase being removed to the front dining-room, N- f/l A (-3 ) . '- X t THE EASY CHAIR. as above stated, to make room for it. Other pic- tures worthy of special mention here, are : Pesne's A portrait of Little Fritz drumming, with his sister looking on. Carlyle calls this copy "excellent," " almost a facsimile and perfection of a copy." The size is about 5 feet by 6 feet. The portrait has been beautifully engraved, under the title of "The Little Drummer," by Francis Holl, and forms the frontispiece to the first volume of " Friedrich." Carlyle be- queathed the copy to Louisa, Lady Ashburton. 56 CARLYL&S HOME IN CHELSEA. portrait of Wilhelmina ("with the fontange on her brow"), Faithorne's print of Cromwell between the Pillars, Friedrich the Silent (an Albert Diirer en- graving, presented by Mr. Ruskin), Melancholia (Albert Diirer), and two most lifelike portraits of Carlyle by Mrs. Allingham. An easy chair, given to Mrs. Carlyle in, or a little before, 1847, by Henry Taylor (afterwards Sir Henry), was placed in this room ; and a very large high-backed easy chair, covered in green morocco, with movable reading desk swinging on a brass arm, presented about 1875 to Carlyle by John Forster, also found room here. The cottage piano was brought up from the dining-room, and placed in front of the right-hand bookcase, with its back to the new partition wall. Of the many ornaments, the following may be mentioned as more or less typical : Two handsome gold-plated candlesticks (to hold three candles each), and a beautiful carriage clock (a present from Lord Ashburton), with various ornamental china vases, stood on the mantelshelf; and on the centre table two paper- weights, one a little elephant in marble, the other (by Dickens) a green lacquered bronze representing a boy swinging on a gate, his straw hat hung on the post, his books thrown carelessly on the ground, and on the base of the pedestal the legend, " Au Diable des Lemons" The oval table from the back dining-room had been brought up here and placed by the south wall, just under the portrait of Friedrich and Wilhelmina, and on it stood a little leather envelope cabinet and, amongst other things, a brass- bound bone box, believed to have been Swift's money box, and a silver statuette of Marie Antoinette (Lord R. Gower). The room was redecorated several times after it became the drawing-room; the last time in 1874, CARLYLE'S HOME IN CHELSEA. 57 under the supervision of Miss Mary Carlyle Aitken, the niece before referred to. New wall-paper (clus- ters of small leaves on a light green ground, similar to that now on the walls) took the place of the large patterned white and pink paper of previous years. The red curtains were dyed a pretty brown ; the red covering of the sofa, and the white chintz of the chairs, gave place to a delicate olive green serge. New table covers of a small neat pattern in har- monious colours, and new striped blinds, were also features of a decoration which at the time received much discriminative admiration. The Back Bedroom. This, with its dressing- room, was probably used as the spare, or guest's bedroom, in the early years. Afterwards it became Mis. Carlyle's own bedroom, though she occa- sionally slept in the front room upstairs until 1852. Not much is known of how it was furnished originally, or even during Mrs. Carlyle's occupancy. The "red bed/' a medium size four-poster, was set up in this room when the Carlyles took possession of the house. In her letters Mrs. Carlyle often refers to it as her "own red bed," "that bed I was born in," etc. In 1842, when the Best bed 1 was brought up from Templand, it took the place of the red bed, which was then removed to a front bedroom on the second floor. In 1852, when the back bedroom was made smaller (by the widening of the drawing-room) the Best bed was found to be too large for the contracted space. It was set up in the front bedroom upstairs, and the red bed brought down again, where it remained until about 1870, when it was taken down and packed away in the study. It was again put up in its old place on the 1 8th of November, 1880, for the use of Carlyle 1 This was a very large elaborately carved and turned ma- hogany four-posted Ixjdstead. 58 CARLYLE'S HOME IN CHELSEA. himself, who then began to find much difficulty in ascending the stairs to his own bedroom on the second floor. He used it until the i6th of January following, when, on the doctor's recommendation, another bed (a small brass one) was placed for him in the warmer and more cheerful drawing-room. The red bed was presented in 1882 to Mrs. Warren (Carlyle's housekeeper). A set of dark mahogany drawers stood in the recess to the left of the fireplace, and in the corners of this recess were two little corner brackets, the shelves of which were made out of the top of a little round table from Templand : one of these is now restored to the Trust, and shows some of Mrs. Carlyle's handi- work in the way of cheap decoration, the gluing on of pictures before varnishing, in the method of " transfer " now so common. In the north-west corner of the dressing-room adjoining there was a round corner-cupboard, with bent oak doors ; also a neat mahogany and marble washstand, purchased by Mrs. Carlyle out of a five-pound note given to her by her husband as a Christmas present (1850). The " notekin " which accompanied the gift reads thus: "The Prophecy of a Washstand to the Neatest of all Women. Blessings on her bonny face, and be it ever blithe to me, as it is dear, blithe or not." ] 1 It may be added that this room was furnished as their private sitting-room in 1879, by Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Carlyle ; and that certain of their furnishings (an etching-table and a large easy chair) had to be disposed of when Carlyle required to use the room as his bedroom. A dealer bought these for a few shillings, a condition being that he should not sell them as having been Carlyle's, who had never used them, or scarcely seen them. Notwithstanding this, it appears they have been sold as such ; and at the present time a gentleman in London is rather vehemently asserting his possession of " Carlyle's writing-table and easy chair." *LYLl?S HOME IN CHELSEA. 59 ' Second Floor. Front Bedroom. This, the largest and hand- somest bedroom in the house, was originally two rooms. The two doors which led into them from the landing are both still visible, the left one long since closed up. Where exactly the partition stood is not now known, but it probably divided the room into a larger and a smaller room, the former with two windows, the latter with one. In the larger room the red bed was put up in 1842, as has been already stated. The following year, Carlyle, finding the library too noisy, decided to make a study of his dressing-room ; whilst Mrs. Carlyle decided to re- move the partition and make the two front rooms into one large bedroom for herself. It is to these alterations that Mrs. Carlyle refers when she writes in October, 1843 : "Down went a partition in one room, up went a chimney in another." The chim- ney was in Carlyle's dressing-room, as will be seen. When the rooms were made into one, the "red bed " was placed with its head to the south wall, and Mrs. Carlyle often slept here until 1 85 2. And in that year she appears to have decided to make it exclu- sively and permanently her sleeping chamber ; for Carlyle says, in a letter to Dr. Carlyle, on July 8th : "There will remain always behind the Drawing- room a guest's bedroom, tho' contracted in size, where we hope to see you one day, our first guest in it, if we are in luck." But Mrs. Carlyle found, on further trial, that the front room was too noisy, and she soon removed to the Back bedroom on the first floor, where she continued till the end. The front room then became the "spare" bedroom. In 1852 it was, as has already been observed, en- larged by cutting back the fireplace, but the prettily-carved chimney-piece was preserved, as 60 CARLYLE'S HOME IN CHELSEA. well as the old cupboards on each side of the fireplace. Carlyle's Bedroom. r lhis room, behind the one just referred to, was Mr. and Mrs. Carlyle's bed- room for the first few years of their life at Cheyne Row. The wainscot of this room was never can- vassed as in the case of the others ; it was painted in party-colours in 1852. In later years the panels were papered, and the styles painted. As to furniture, there was the old four-poster (now presented to the Trust, see No. 67 in Cata- logue) which Carlyle bought in Dumfries in 1828 (3oth August to be precise) for 6 5^., " part of the payment for the Article on Jean Paul." The foot-posts and cornice are of mahogany, the rest (covered by the drapery), of Scotch fir. A few years ago the bed, after having been removed from the house, was made nine inches narrower, and the posts lowered in proportion. The casters are new, and of a much larger size than the old ones, which were worn out. This was not a "red bed," but a green one, although in later years Mrs. Carlyle supplied new curtains, etc., of her favourite red colour, and they are the ones now on the bedstead. The large press or hanging wardrobe which fills the recess to the left of the fireplace was built there in 1852. To the right of the fireplace there stood an old-fashioned secretaire (writing-desk with drawers and pigeon holes) which was brought up from Templand in 1842. Against the south CARLYLPS HOME IN CHELSEA. 6. wall stood his chest of drawers (where it now is, see No. 69 in Catalogue) ; by his bedside a little round table, for candle, pipe, 1 etc., and at the foot of the bed a couch or small sofa. A dressing-table and two little looking-glasses, and two or three cane-bottomed chairs, complete the list of furni- ture. A list of the pictures is given elsewhere (pp. 10 1, ei seq.\ but one or two of special in- terest may be noted here. A large (three quarter life-size) por- trait in oil of his Mother, painted by Maxwell of Dumfries in 1842, hung over the fire- place, and on the mantelshelf stood the pretty miniature of Miss Welsh (by Macleay, 1826), in a frame along with two photographs of her (as Mrs. Carlyle), one by Mr. Tait and the other by Mr. Parsons. And here also lay the little bible (in two volumes) which his mother had given him on his leaving home for college. Carlyle's Dressing-room. In 1843 a window was opened out and a fireplace made in this room, 1 Carlyle preferred and generally used a long clay pipe, hut never smoked when writing, seldom when reading, and was in fact a much more moderate smoker than is commonly supposed. 62 CARLYL&S HOME IN CHELSEA. the intention being to convert it into Carlyle's study. Writing in November of that year he says : " I have a little closet here seven feet square, with a fireplace in it about the size of a saucepan, where I can write on occasion, silent from all pianos and street noises." After a fortnight's trial, however, it would not do. Mrs. Carlyle, writing a little later, says : "When my husband proceeded to occupy his new study, he found that devil a bit he could write in it any more than beside the piano." Save during this experiment, the washstand and towel- airer, now restored (see Nos. 74 and 75 in Cata- logue), occupied the dressing-room. CARLYT.E'S HOME IX CHELSEA. 63 Third Floor. The Attic Study, cr so-called Sound-proof Room. The construction of this room was proposed as far back as 1843, but the question of expense and the uncertainty of their tenure of the house had hitherto ay. prevented the Carlyles from doing more than talk of it. But in 1853 the annoyance from the pianos, dogs, parrots, "demon fowls," etc., of their neighbours became " intolerable," and a long lease having, as already stated, been secured the year before, the enterprise was set about practically. 64 CARLYL&S HOME IN CHELSEA. Carlyle writes to his sister, Mrs. Aitken, on the nth of August, 1853: "All summer I have been more or less annoyed with noises, even accidental ones, which get free access through my open win- dows: all the tinkering and 'repairing' has done me no good in that respect. ... At length, after deep deliberation, I have fairly decided to have a top story put upon the house, one big apartment, 20 feet square, with thin double walls, light from the top, &c., and artfully ventilated, into which no sound can come ; and all the cocks in nature may crow round it, without my hearing a whisper of them ! . . . John Chorley, a practical Liverpool railway man, who is very loyal to me, went to Cubitt's, the chief Builders here, and told them my sad case, ' a literary man,' &c. ; and they agreed to send a ' right man ' with estimates, &c., &c. ; and here accordingly he is this very day mounting his scaffolds and ladders from the street, to work altogether from the outside, and to have done within ' six weeks.' " The following, excerpted from the specifications, will give some notion of this erection on the roof : " To take off the present roof and build a new room, put on a new curb roof with a proper skylight made to open, and of suitable dimensions for the size of the room. Prepare and put up a pair of horizontal glazed sashes to run easily on brass rollers under the skylight, forming an air chamber between. The roof to be boarded and covered with best Bangor slate. Form an air chamber between slating and the whole surface of the room. And the lower part [Y.^., the east and west sides of the room, where the roof would be lower] to be brought perpendicular, forming an air chamber as well as closets at the back and front with double doors : also small double windows to light the closets and ventilate if required. Build up each chimney stack and parting wall; a fireplace and air flues with proper ventilators on the side opposite the fireplace \and two on the side of the stove, added by John Chorley] ; fix ventilators in the skirting, back and front, CARLYLES HOME IN CHELSEA. 65 supplied with external air by perforated iron bricks fixed under the cornice.

Put in a suitable window \as large as the space ivill allow, added by Chorley] on the landing, to open with lines and weights in the usual way. Put in a good floor of 7/8 in. yellow pine. . . . Paint all the woodwork in the room, paper the room with -. nl paper as may be chosen \by Mr. Carlyle, added by Chorley]: Put in a stove as may be chosen; also fix a veined Italian marble chimney-piece with 12-inch shelf.

[The Builder also to fix u suitable bell u>ith handle in the room, added by Chorley.] The whole to be done for the sum The scheme looked promising on paper, but in result it proved largely a failure. The workman- ship was bad, the ventilators were quite inadequate, the skylight had to be kept open, at least in warm weather ; and noises, and " blacks " from the neigh- bouring chimneys found ready entrance. The work was delayed, too, by a strike, in consequence of which inferior men were engaged. It was not until the 2nd of October that Carlyle could say : " On Monday last, and never till then, I got fairly in and saw my 'new room' (for they have done it all from the outside till the very last) ; a spacious kind of place and very light ; but sadly disappointing in one respect : it is of irregular shape in two of the walls, and in part two feet lower than I expected ! But it now clearly seems the ' Surveyor ' with his ' Building Act ' stood in the way ... if it be soundproof, as the Chorley prediction confi- dently runs, certainly it will be a grand relief to me. 66 CARLYLE 1 S HOME IN CHELSEA. Would I were at my work again, in it, or in any cell or safe inverted tub." And ten days later : "So I shall not get into my room this winter ... in fact, I do not much mind, for the noises, at any rate, have now much faded away . . . the Drawing- room (a really excellent apartment, due to Jane and the toils of last year), where all my Books are, is a much better lodging till the cold weather go." Carlyle, who possessed considerable mechanical skill, and knew when work was well done, had noticed the bad workmanship, and long before he had practically made trial of the room, more than doubted its "soundproof" quality. He wrote to Dr. Carlyle on 28th November: "By Christmas, the undertaking is, they shall have finished, and be fairly gone, all but the paperhangers in Spring for one day. If I could expect to be quiet then. But alas, I fear my room is irremediably somewhat of a failure, and that * quiet ' is far off me yet ! " The new study, with extras (one of these being "a large deal cupboard fitted with shelves and folding doors," still standing in the north-east corner of the room), cost just under ^200. Carlyle moved into it in the Spring of 1854, and, after various little improvements had been made a new grate that would warm the room, for one thing, he found it " supportable," at least. He said that, although the noises in the immediate neighbourhood were excluded, other sounds in the distance, railway whistles, bells, and the like, "evils that he knew not of" in the lower rooms, became in this eyry pain- fully audible. Nevertheless, he continued to occupy it as his study until "Friedrich" was finished in 1865. As to the furnishings : his writing-table and arm- chair (one of the dining-room chairs previously mentioned) stood in the middle of the floor ; and, CARLYLPS HOME IN CHELSEA. 67 within reach, the little mahogany table already referred to on page 43 for books, c. ; a chest of -tal drawers stood on the left of the fireplace (which is in the middle of the north wall) ; and in the north- west corner, a high open bookcase of eight shelves (the back of it to the closet wall) ; and in the opposite corner, with its back to the landing, another set of three long bookshelves, the lowest compartment in each of these bookcases being wide enough to admit folios. There was still another bookcase, much larger than either of these, in the south-west corner of the room. All the books in these related to Frederick and his times: "Voltaire" (in 97 volumes, now restored) filled a shelf and a half of the long three-tiered bookcase. Along the south wall was a sofa, with movable mattress and pillow covered in horsehair. Against the east wall (to the left of the door into the closet) stood one of the halves of the octopede round table above described (p. 41) ; the large deal press built in that corner, with its back to the north wall, held the maps, prints, papers, &c., which only occasionally used. There was also a large fourfold screen, covered with portraits of Frederick, his generals, and many other characters which figure in the " History of Friedrich." The walls, too, were covered with maps, prints, and other illustrations, relating mainly to the subject in hand. There were, besides, photographs of members of Carlyle's family, and a little hand-made map of Brantford Township, Canada, showing the exact position of his brother Alick's farm, &c. On the mantelshelf there were two china candlesticks, and a bronze statuette of Napoleon. The closet to the west side contained the large cistern which, owing to a bad ball-tap, was in the habit of "overflowing." The other closet was used as a lumber-room gene- 68 CARLYLE'S HOME IN CHELSEA. rally, and could be entered direct from the stairs by a door of its own, as well as from the study. When "Friedrich" was at last finished, in 1865, the furniture was all taken to the dining-room, ex- cept two of the large bookcases, which remained till 1882, and the writing-table. The latter was removed to the drawing-room. In later years it stood with its back to the double door, which was covered with a portiere curtain, and seldom used after Mrs. Carlyle's death. The study then became the servants' bedroom. The books which Carlyle had used in writing " Friedrich " (and " Cromwell ") were bequeathed to Harvard University. An excellent catalogue of them, giving Carlyle's marginal annotations, &c., was prepared and printed by the Harvard autho- rities ; a copy of this is now in the study. The Basement. Excepting the coal cellar, this corresponded exactly in area and plan with the first floor, before the latter was altered in 1852, in the way already described. The kitchen, with its two windows looking into the area (then only half sunk), was in front ; behind was the back kitchen, or wash-house, with copper in the north-east corner, and small open range in the middle of the north wall; in the rear of this again (under the china closet of the ground-floor and the dressing-rooms of the upper storeys) was the larder ; and to the south of it, entered by a doorway from the wash- house, was the coal cellar, a spacious apartment with shoot in the garden area. A new range was put into the kitchen when the Carlyles entered into possession of the house in 1834; and again a new one in 1852, with "self- supplying boiler." Although water (from the water- works) was laid on in 1852, the water from the well (with its pump in the south-west corner) continued CARLYLE'S HOME IN CHELSEA. 69 f^xr^^ aren to be used long after that date, as appears from a letter of Mrs. Carlyle's of November, 1864, in which she blames one of her servants for "a pump-well gone irrecoverably dry." The wooden lining (dado) was put up in 1852, and gas was laid on from the meter in 1877. The old dresser, there in 1834, still stands against the south wall, as also the sink in the corner beside the pump. The old kitchen table (in late years made a foot or 70 CARLYL&S HOME IN CHELSEA. so shorter) has been given to the Trust, and now stands in its former place, the middle of the floor (see No. 160 in Catalogue). The Garden. Of the garden, " so called In the language of flattery," Carlyle writes (to his mother), 1 2th June, 1834: "It is of admirable comfort to me, in the smoking way : I can wander about in dressing-gown and straw hat in it, as of old, and take my pipe in peace." He frequently sat and read here ; and in very hot weather he sometimes wrote at a little table and writing-desk placed near the water-butt, under an awning or in a shady corner of the flagged court. There was also a " tent umbrella " put up at times ; and Mrs. Carlyle describes an extemporized awning made by herself of tablecloth and clothes poles. Carlyle kept the garden very neat and trim "with his own hands." Soon after taking possession of the house, he pur- chased a set of tools, and did his gardening himself. In 1840 he says to his brother Alick : "I have always forgotten to tell you what good I have got of the axe and sickle you sent me long since. . . . The sickle hangs on a branch of our old scrag of a cherry tree (which grows large quantities of cherries, mostly eaten by sparrows) ; I mow the grass with it, hew down the superfluous vine-branches, and many a time thank poor Alick's brotherliness." Besides the cherry tree and grape vine there was a walnut tree (from which Mrs. Carlyle "gathered nearly sixpence worth of walnuts"), lilac bushes, plum tree blossom, jessamine, wallflowers, and mint in abundance. There was also a copper beech near the dustbin (in the north-east corner) ; and in July, 1847, Carlyle writes: "I have bought three fruit trees and put them into this poor sooty patch of garden ; the old ones, the work of some good man 150 years ago, having died or needed to be CARLYLES HOME IN CHELSEA. 71 torn out : one pear and one cherry, for this year, seem to be all our promise of fruit harvest ; but some poor hungry Cockney in another generation may do better." In 1875, or so, Carlyle himself planted a little plane tree, which, after many trans- plantings, is now growing in an Edinburgh garden. The dwarf wall and pillars, which divide the garden from the flagged court, were built in 1852. The walk ran due east for six or eight feet from between the centre pillars, and then turned to the left at right angles, then to the right, and continued, at a distance of about three feet from the north wall to the top of the garden. The walk had edging tiles along the side nearest the wall, and a flower border stretched between the wall and tiles. The walk was altered by a later tenant, but has now been restored to nearly its original position. T\\o china garden-seats (called by Mrs. Carlyle " noblemen's seats ") were placed in the garden in summer. One of these has been presented to the Trust (see No. 161 in Catalogue); but Carlyle generally used one of the kitchen chairs as his garden-seat. Mrs. Carlyle's little dog Nero, having been run over by a butcher's cart in January, 1860, was put out of pain by Dr. Barnes, and buried some five feet from the south-east corner of the garden. The headstone which originally marked the grave has unfortunately been removed. DRAWN BY J. LOUIS KIGHT FROM THE PICT See No. i BY ROBERT TAIT, ESQ., PAINTED IN 1857-8. CATALOGUE. GROUND FLOOR.

Anderson : "An article in Carlyle's writing describing his invention for roughing horses' shoes in frosty weather. This was written in the winter of "34, and is signed ' Niuleiber," being sent to some publica- tion, and is the rough draft, written on the fly-leaf of a letter to G 82 CATALOGUE. himself. This letter was given to my sister, Mrs. Anstruther, by Miss Aitken the year of Carlyle's death, and came into my custody a few years later, on the death of my sister. About two years ago Mrs. A. Carlyle (Miss Aitken) knowing that I possessed this letter, gave me the horse shoe which Carlyle had had made at Dunscore Smithy, for a model when he invented the system. The curious thing is, that this system, invented as far back as '34 by Carlyle, and regularly used by him, is the system of screw cogs, which is universally used now, although 30 years ago no one had used it. Modern Vets, and Blacksmiths have had many disputes as to who had the honour of the invention. Few, if any, have the slightest idea that the honour of the humane and useful invention rests with Carlyle." Presented by Miss M. Anderson. 17 Two PAIRS OF PLATED CANDLESTICKS AND PART OF BREAKFAST SET. Presented by Mr. and Mrs. A. Carlyle. 1 8 SILVER MEDAL. Struck in commemoration of Carlyle's 8oth birthday.
