CARLYLE ON THE PHYSICIAN

From the May 1897 issue of The Christian Science Journal


A Christian Scientist in England has kindly sent us a newspaper clipping containing a letter which was read at one of the excursions of the British Medical Congress by Dr. Yeats, of Chepstow, written by Thomas Carlyle, and which was never made public until published in the Bristol Times. It appears to have been sent to an Edinburgh firm of booksellers in answer to a work published by them under the nom de plume of Therapeutes, and is as follows:—

"Dear Sir:—I have received your book which you were kind enough to send me, and I beg to return you thanks for the same. It is a book (unlike many that come to me here) of a serious nature, the fruit of long study, meditation, inquiry, and evidently of perfect conviction on your part.
