“Nor is our England without her missionaries. She has her life-saving 
Needham, to whom was solemnly presented a Civic Sword—long since rusted 
into nothingness. Her Paine: rebellious Staymaker ; unkempt; who feels 
that he, a single needleman, did, by his Common Sense pamphlet, free 
America ; that he can, and will, free all this World; perhaps”’ [and, this is 
Carlyle} ‘‘ even the other.” 
One great feature of the book is the generous way in which 
the author gives both the genesis and the end of nearly all the 
characters introduced ; and also the numerous foot notes, giving 
chapter and verse of the authority on which he relies for his 
facts, showing how systematic was his method, and how vast the 
research necessary for the accomplishment of his work. Only 
Carlyle could have done this: and if his definition of Genius— 
«An infinite capacity for taking infinite pains,’’—be correct, 
then the writer of the “ History of the French Revolution ” 
possessed genius indeed.
