Contents: The Political Theory of the Revolution Rousseau The Characters of the...

First published in 1837, Carlyle initially was asked to write this account by his overworked friend John Stuart Mill.

The book's title uses a phrase that was well known at the time. It was derived from a Provençal expression (gai saber) for the technical skill required for poetry-writing that had already been...
