Father always says: Beware of red hair! And I insist that the "innocent child" has foxy red hair. But you can think what you like. Now I've got something much more important to tell you. But you must promise me dirst that you will tear up my letter directly you have read it. Otherwise please send it back to me unread. Just fancy.
Already an English expedition has very carelessly just opened the hill and exposed, but not fairly published, some few as fine friezes as are to be found in the Assyrian capitals, with unread Hittite inscriptions, and a fine statue of the Hittite Venus; but much remains to reward the student of Oriental history and art.
It was only while he was lighting his second cigar that he remembered Mrs. Farnaby's unread letter to him. By this time, he was more than weary of his own affairs. He read the letter. "I find the people who have my happiness at their mercy both dilatory and greedy." I am still, to my annoyance, only in personal communication with the hateful old woman.
He became the most miserable of men, and knew no freedom from sorrow and pain. And lo, now the man's philosophy has perished like a bubble, his influence has utterly disappeared, for his books are unread, while only an occasional scholar chances upon his name, tho the great summer-making sun still shines on and Luther's eternal God fainteth not, neither is weary. Are you weak, oh, patriot?
In the general level of his life he was below the standard of his neighbours and knew that he was below it; in the sudden bounds and flights of his intellect and of his imagination he was immeasurably above the intel-lects of his neighbours and knew that he was immeasurably above them. Therefore, and in both moods, he commonly hated and despised them. "Fools, fools! Unread, pompous, petty!"
Doubtless, his manuscripts would lie unknown, unread; no man would care for them; but the true scholar cares neither for public not posterity; he lives for the work he loves; and if he knows that he will have few readers in the future maybe none how many read Grotius, or Boethius, or Chrysostom, or Jerome?
"No," cried the Prophet, with sudden fierce energy. "For mercy's sake I mean, grannie, dear; that none will come. If they should" his ordinary gentle eyes flamed almost furiously "Mr. Ferdinand is to burn them unread yes, to ashes. I will tell him." And he escorted Lady Enid tumultuously downstairs, missing his footing at every second step. In the square they parted from Mr. Green, who said,
Outside of it was written, as you see, these words: 'Whoever finds this, is solemnly entreated by the dead to convey it unread to Alfred Raybrock, Steepways, North Devon, England. A sacred charge," said the captain, concluding his narrative, "and, Alfred Raybrock, there it is!" "This is my poor brother's writing!" "I suppose so," said Captain Jorgan.
"May the memory of the man who loved you as his daughter, and who on his death-bed wished for nothing so much as to see you averse as he was to your creed and bless you as his daughter indeed, as his son's wife, may the remembrance of that just man so far prevail over your indignant and outraged soul that these words from the most wretched man on earth, for that am I, Paula, may not be left unread.
This part of his task Carlyle performed with an admirable conscientiousness. His numerous letters applying for out-of-the-way books to buy or borrow, for every pamphlet throwing light on his subject, bear testimony to the careful exactitude which rarely permitted him to leave any record unread or any worthy opinion untested about any event of which or any person of whom he undertook to write.
