Latter-Day Pamphlets - Paperback

by Thomas Carlyle (Author)

"There is but one thing needed for the world, but that one is indispensable-Justice..."

-Thomas Carlyle, Latter-Day Pamphlets (1850)

Latter-Day Pamphlets (1850) by Thomas Carlyle is a series of essays, many of which are concerned with the effect of greed on the culture. The book harshly denounces the British parliament, democracy, the prison system, and other social injustices; however, it failed to garner the approval of the British public. Among the most memorable of the essays are "The Present Time," "Stump-Orator," "Hudson's Statue," and "Parliaments."
