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.
