We call it charity, beneficence, and other fine names, this brutish Workhouse Scheme of ours; and it is but sluggish heartlessness, and insincerity, and cowardly lowness of soul. Not 'humanity' or manhood, I think; perhaps apehood rather,—paltry imitancy, from the teeth outward, of what our heart never felt nor our understanding ever saw; dim indolent adherence to extraneous and extinct traditions; traditions now really about extinct; not living now to almost any of us, and still haunting with their spectralities and gibbering ghosts (in a truly baleful manner) almost all of us!

This was the best Carlyle that I've yet read, handily beating out Chartism in particular amongst the longer works.

The first 'pamphlet', The Present Time, is probably the most enjoyable of the bunch. It is full of prescient insight and literary flourish (Stump-Orator stands out in my memory as well)

Lots of verbiage, relatively low on content. Some insights were OK. Hard to read, overall.
