Sartor Resartus ("The Tailor Retailored") is ostensibly an
introduction to a strange history of clothing by the German
Professor of Things in General, Diogenes Teufelsdrockh; its deeper
concerns are social injustice, the right way of living in the
world, and the large questions of faith and understanding. This is
the first edition to present the novel as it originally appeared,
with indications of the changes Carlyle made to later editions.

Thomas Carlyle's Past and Present (1843) was a prophetic warning of
impending disaster for mid-Victorian Britain that was delivered in
what the author described as a 'miraculous thunder-voice, from out
of the centre of the world.' The impact of Carlyle's social
criticism was immediate and profound, shaping debate about the 'The
Condition of England' question well into the twentieth century and
beyond, and serving as the moral foundation of the welfare state.
His relentlessly abrasive and illuminating critique of industrial
civilization generated a vast range of response both in England,
Europe, and the United States. The writings of Matthew Arnold, John
Stuart Mill, William Morris, John Henry Newman, and John Ruskin, as
well as Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Walt Whitman,
were saturated with imagery and ideas directly indebted to the
book. Past and Present also provided novelists and poets with an
enduring vision of the ubiquitous rot that lay at the heart of
'laissez-faire' England. The repercussions of Carlyle's unique
analysis can be witnessed in the literary form and thematic content
of such works as Charles Dickens's Christmas Carol (1843), Dombey
and Son (1848), Bleak House (1852-53), and Hard Times (1854);
Benjamin Disraeli's Sybil (1845); Elizabeth Gaskell's Mary Barton
(1848) and North and South (1855); and Charles Kingsley's Alton
Locke (1850). Poets such as Alfred Tennyson in Maud (1855),
Elizabeth Barrett Browning in Aurora Leigh (1856), and Arthur Hugh
Clough in The Latest Decalogue (1862) built a vocabulary that was
steeped in the outrage and indignation of Carlyle's polemic. The
artist Ford Madox Brown attempted in his painting Work (1852-65) to
give visual testimony to the profound social schisms that Carlyle
had exposed in Past and Present and to pay tribute to the 'Sage'
who had 'moulded a nation to his pattern.'
The International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI) was estab lished
to stimulate and support scientific research and edu cational
programs in nutrition, toxicology, and food safe ty; and to
encourage cooperation in these programs among scientists from
universities, industry, and government in order to facilitate the
resolution of health and safety issues. The officers and trustees
of ILSI believe that questions re garding health and safety are
best resolved when govern ment and industry rely on scientific
investigations, analy ses, and reviews by independent experts. This
process is furthered by the examination and discussion of issues on
an international basis. ILSI is pleased to sponsor this set of
monographs on the pathology of laboratory animals. This project
collectively brings together the most comprehensive information on
non-neoplastic and neoplastic lesions that occur in com monly used
laboratory animals. The international compo sition of the authors,
editors, and editorial board who have contributed to these
monographs strengthens our expecta tions that understanding and
cooperation will be strength ened worldwide through this series."
During the years that have intervened since the third volume of the
International Life Seiences Institute (ILSI) Monographs on
Pathology of Laboratory Animals, Digestive System, was published,
new information of interest to pathologists has developed at a
rather remarkable pace. Standardized nomenclature has been proposed
and gained significant acceptance during the period since the first
edition and isbeing utilized on aninternational basis. Thishas
resulted in improvement in communi cationof pathologic data to
reguiatory agencies and inscientific publica tions worldwide. This
monograph series and others sponsored by ILSI have had significant
effects on improved communications and the inter national
acceptance of standardized nomenclature. In this second edition,
new formats have been used in some instances where more appropriate
for the subjects to be eovered. The format introduced in the first
edition remains useful as it emphasizes the neces sityto reeognize
the morphologie features of pathologic lesions to iden tify them
precisely. This identifieation is an essential first step toward
development of new insightsintopathogenetic meehanismsand their use
in decisions eventually applieable to public health. Newinformation
is included in thisedition on the nature and variability of
preneoplastic lesions in the Iiver of laboratory rodents. Data on
the aeeompanying changes in enzyme activity in affeeted Iiver cells
are ex panded, and additional information on spongiosis hepatis in
the rat and its relation to spongiotic pericytoma is a further
feature. In a few in stanees, research on a pathologie entity has
been Iimitedbut its recogni tionremains important.
Thisjustifiesinclusion of suchentities in the new edition."
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

'It is I think the most radical Book that has been written in these
late centuries . . . and will give pleasure and displeasure, one
may expect, to almost all classes of persons.' Carlyle Thomas
Carlyle's history of the French Revolution opens with the death of
Louis XV in 1774 and ends with Napoleon suppressing the
insurrection of the 13th Vendemaire. Both in Its form and content,
the work was intended as a revolt against history writing itself,
with Carlyle exploding the eighteenth-century conventions of
dignified gentlemanly discourse. Immersing himself in his French
sources with unprecedented imaginative and intellectual engagement,
he recreates the upheaval in a language that evokes the chaotic
atmosphere of the events. In the French Revolution Carlyle achieves
the most vivid historical reconstruction of the crisis of his, or
any other, age. This new edition offers an authoritative text, a
comprehensive record of Carlyle's French, English, and German
sources, a select bibliography of editions, related writings, and
critical studies, chronologies of both Thomas Carlyle and the
French Revolution, and a new and full index. In addition, Carlyle's
work is placed in the context of both British and European history
and writing, and linked to a variety of major figures, including
Edward Gibbon, Friedrich Nietzsche, George Eliot, John Stuart Mill,
Hegel, and R. G. Collingwood.

"Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship" affords a distinct view of
Goethe's matured genius, his manner of thought and favorite
subjects -- more so, perhaps, than any of his other works. Nor is
it Goethe alone whom it portrays; the prevailing taste of Germany
of the day is likewise indicated by it. Since the year 1795, when
it first appeared at Berlin, numerous editions of "Meister" have
been printed: critics of all ranks, and some of them dissenting
widely from its doctrines, have loaded it with encomiums; its songs
and poems are familiar to every German ear; the people read it, and
speak of it, with an admiration approaching in many cases to
enthusiasm.
