Carlyle reading the "signs of the times" as they fit into his life's thought. The low rating here is not necessarily for content but because it is disjointed, cluttered, and rambling; and no, it's not simply the "style of the times," it's how his mind poured itself onto the paper.
good story but it was really elongated

I don't know if he originated the style or not but it's the earliest I've seen of it, there are a few inconsistencies but otherwise it's good.
