1903. The publication by Froude of Carlyle's Reminiscences and his
own biography started a controversy that was to continue for many
years in a series of writings arguing both sides. Central to the
debate was the question of the veracity of Froude's facts and his
assertion that Carlyle had never consummated his marriage. This
volume was written by Crichton-Browne, one of the first
psychiatrists to set up research in a mental hospital, publishing
annual West Riding Lunatic Asylum Reports, Edited Brain. He knew
Carlyle in old age and became a Widmerpool-like figure in his many
volumes of Victorian jottings. And, Alexander Carlyle, who was the
nephew of Thomas. He edited new letters and memorials of JWC in
1904. He married Mary Aitken, Carlyle's niece in 1879, and lived
with her and Carlyle at Cheyne Row until Carlyle's death. Carlyle
published several volumes of Carlyle correspondence. He was
vindictive and hostile to Froude and it is said he suppressed
evidence, and refused other scholars access to manuscripts.
