I wonder if "Bobus Higgins" may have been a reason for Tolkien coming up with the name Bilbo Baggins.

Carlyle was the 'radical centrist' of his day. Compare his account of the revolution in France to that of Webster, or observe his fundamental sympathy with the Chartists. "Why of the two near contemporaries raised under nearly identical environment, was Thomas Carlyle, the perverter of history and admirer of that curse of Europe, Frederick of Prussia, a sour, impotent "teetotaler," and Robert Burns, the National Poet of Scotland and the embodiment of tolerance in combination with traditionalism, a somewhat immoderate drinker?"

Another great one is "Patented Digesting Apparatus"; it represents a person under a materialist philosophy, such as Utilitarianism (or even Liberalism, arguably), that downplays or denies the soul. Of course, if a person lacks a soul, he is merely a (digesting) machine, an apparatus, that takes in food, processes it, and releases the resulting waste product.

"The newer German literature captured him completely at that time, and no one did more than Carlyle to convey its knowledge to the English. In the space of a few years, he published a translation of Goethe's Wilhelm Meister: William Meister's Apprenticeship (Edinb. 1825, 3 vols.), a biography of Schiller: Life of Schiller, an Examination of His Works (London 1825), and a selection of translations from Goethe, Fouqué, Tieck, Musäus, Jean Paul, Hoffmann, et al. et al. with critical and biographical introductions under the title German Romance (Edinb. 1827, 4 vols.) as well as a large number of smaller essays, e.g. on Werner, Novalis, Goethe's correspondence with Schiller, Heine, the Nibelungenlied, etc., which are later united with others in the collection of his essays (5 vols.). " I only can say WOW. I am speechless. Have to dive d e e p into his works . . .

@Dan_1348

To some extent. Carlyle recognised that there were parts of Christianity which could not be taken seriously by a scientific person. But he wanted to preserve the moral core of religion, and was worried that without the 'old clothes' religion might fall apart altogether. He was conflicted. He talks about this problem more in 'Jesuitism' in the Latter-Day Pamphlets.

nah he's talking of the jewishism British protestants absorbed when they separated from the Church, stuff such as puritans giving each other hebrew names and so on. An inevitability of separating themselves from their medieval history.
