          <note>Taken from letter from Carlyle to Walter Scott, dated 13 April 1828, written at 21 Comley Bank, Edinburgh.  Pages 352-355 in this edition.  Carlyle is here transcribing a section of a letter from Goethe to Carlyle which, Carlyle says, 'virtually belongs' to Scott.  Carlyle transcribes the section of the letter in the original German and the translation is given in the editor's notes from The Journal of Sir Walter Scott, pp483-486. </note>

          <ptr target="ukred-27201">"Say, too, that I received his Life of Napoleon, and have read it this winter - in the evening and at night - with attentino from beginning to end.  To me it was full of meaning to observe how the first novelist of the century took upon himself a task and business, so apparently foreign to him, and passed under review with rapid stroke those important events of which it had been our fate to be eyewtinesses.  The division into chapters, embracing masses of intimately connected events, gives a clearness to the historical sequence that otherwise might have been only to easily confused, while, at the same time, the individual events in each chapter are described with a clearness and a vividness quite invaluable."</ptr>
