CARLYLE (THOMAS)Three autograph letters signed ('T. Carlyle') to an unnamed recipient [Peter Bayne], the first thanking him for the book, assuring him '...there is nothing in your opinions or in your conduct which can be matter of offence to me...' and commenting '...The longer I live, the more I value pious silence, and that proof of truth which comes from acting it, instead of speaking it, or arguing about it...', regretting '...in my present state of hurry... it will not be well feasible to make your acquaintance...'; the second pronouncing on the value of silence ('...it often seems to me as if the very fountain of our woes lay even there, in this universal wagging of the tongue and pen which has fallen on the British People, and in a degree on all Peoples... nature silently rebukes and inexorably punishes them all; but in the fatal list there is none worth naming beside 'incontinence of tongue'...'); and the last confirming he has received his book of essays and letter ('...If I ever again achieve the least leisure for pleasant reading... I will probably examine your... volume...') and wishing him much success, 9 pages, on two bifolium and a single leaf, dust staining and a few small tears, one old small loss where removed from album, remains of guard on two, 8vo (180 x 110mm.), Chelsea, 23 June 1855, 28 July 1855 and 15 April 1859Footnotes:'I SINCERELY WISH YOU WELL, AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR GOODWILL TOWARD ME': CARLYLE'S 'DEXTROUS POLITENESS' TO A SCOTTISH CRITIC.Despite being critical of Thomas Carlyle's religious views in his preface to the first edition of his The Christian Life, Social and Individual, published in 1855, Peter Bayne, then editor of Witness, sent him a copy of the book for his perusal. Whilst Carlyle's response is polite and indeed lengthy, he immediately sent the book and Bayne's note to Jean Aitken for her amusement, with a covering note depicting a non-too-flattering portrait of Bayne and exhorting her to burn his letter after reading: '...Bayne has sent me his Book, with the enclosed Note; to both of which I make you very welcome... I send you the Letter too, in the chance you may get some kind of entertainment out of the affair. Bayne I guess to be some young Edinburgh Preacher (or the like), with great heart, and probably as yet little stuff on board: I do not dislike him, only judge he may have a good deal of wind just now upon his stomach;—and that if he had written nothing, it would have been still wiser for him. Silence about all this; and burn his Letter, poor fellow. I answered in a kind manner; but evaded (with dextrous politeness) to make an acquaintance just now!— Burn the Letter' (25 June 1855). By the time the second edition was published in 1859, Bayne had added a new preface, listing Carlyle's perceived shortcomings but also recognising the importance of Carlyle's contributions to Christian teaching. Again, despite another polite reply to Bayne, Carlyle has no intention of reading the book as promised in our letter and promptly sends it the same day to Charlotte Williams Wynn, enclosing the note '...there has an eloquent volume come to me this day, by a certain peter bayne: which i judge will suit you much better than me...' (see Duke University Press Carlyle Letters online). By 1861, according to Ruskin's biographer Timothy Hilton, Bayne had become rather 'tiresome' and published a 'foolish pamphlet' entitled Terrorism for Christ's Sake in which he had tried to adjudicate between Carlyle and methodist preacher Charles Spurgeon. Since then Carlyle did his best to avoid him in public: '...in 1861 Carlyle had fled from a dinner with John James Ruskin when his critic suddenly arrived at the house...' (Hilton, T., John Ruskin, 2002, p.330). Our letters are not published in the 2002 edition of The Collected Letters of Thomas & Jane Welsh Carlyle.Provenance: Peter Bayne (1830-1896), and thence by descent.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
