Latter-Day Pamphlets (Barnes & Noble Digital Library‪)‬

These essays, or “pamphlets,” published in 1850, are a vehement denunciation of what Thomas Carlyle believed to be the political, social, and religious injustices of the era. The collection’s best known essay is “Hudson’s Statue,” an attack on plans to erect a monument in honor of the bankrupted financier and “railway king” George Hudson.
