Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Reprint of the 1910 edition. "PREFATORY NOTE IN the "advertisement" to the original edition, the editor says: "The reader will soon discover that this is a work requiring no introduction to his attention. Indeed, whoever catches a glimpse of the attractions of the interior, will not be disposed patiently to listen to any details intended to detain him on the threshold." While this is so, it may not be out of place in this new edition to give the reader a brief sketch of the history of the family to which the author of this extraordinary biography belonged. It will at least enlighten him, at the outset, with regard to many allusions to family associations and connections continually cropping up in the narrative; while it will explain the author's predilection for "the company of his superiors," which some of the parishioners of Inveresk raised against him as unbecoming in their minister. Dr. Carlyle did not require, like the governess at Balcarres, who, anxious to parade a "lang pedigree" before her "superiors," instructed her brother in the Herald Office at Edinburgh to prepare a family tree beginning with Fergus the First of Scotland, and indicating the several families she wished introduced. His was without doubt a family of great antiquity reaching back to, if not before, the Norman Conquest, and one which was closely allied by marriage to King Robert the Bruce. [A full account of the Carlyle family will be found in Sir J. Balfour Paul's Scots Peerage.] The Carlyles de Karliolo, Carleile, or Carlisle, as the name was variously spelt were a Cumberland family originally, who held property there and in Yorkshire, and were of considerable authority in the county, and the city of Carlisle from which the name was derived. In common with other notable families on the southern border, the Carlyles early began to add small properties in Scotland to their English lands, and thus acquired a dual interest in the border country. From their position in the north they were employed by the English monarchs on service to the Scottish Court, but such service did not prevent them occasionally deserting their royal masters in a raid on Scotland, for on one occasion, at least, we learn that a Robert de Carlisle had to appear before Henry II., and pay peace money for having joined King William of Scotland, promising at the same time allegiance to Henry for the future. .".
