  Thomas Carlyle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carlyle was born in Ecclefechan, Dumfries and Galloway, and was educated at Annan Academy, Annan.
Thomas Carlyle is notable both for his continuation of older traditions of the Tory satirists of the 18th century in England and for forging a new tradition of Victorian era criticism of progress.
Carlyle's distaste for democracy and his belief in charismatic leadership was unsurprisingly appealing to Adolf Hitler, who was reading Carlyle's biography of Frederick during his last days in 1945.

 Carlyle, Thomas. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
Carlyle extended his view of the divinity of man, particularly in his portraits of the great leaders of the Revolution.
In subsequent works Carlyle attacked laissez-faire theory and parliamentary government and affirmed his belief in the necessity for strong, paternalistic government.
Carlyle’s other works expanded his ideas—Chartism (1840); Past and Present (1843), contrasting the disorder of modern society with the feudal order of 12th-century England; Oliver Cromwell’s Letters and Speeches (1845); Latter-Day Pamphlets (1850); Life of John Sterling (1851); and a massive biography of a hero-king, Frederick the Great, on which he spent the years 1852–65.

 Biography Of Thomas Carlyle
James Carlyle was a mason by trade and, later, a small farmer, a man of profound Calvinist convictions whose character and way of life had a profound and lasting influence on his son.
Carlyle was equally devoted to his mother as well as to his eight brothers and sisters, and his strong affection for his family never diminished.
It is interesting that Carlyle, usually so imperious, often adopted a weak, pleading tone to his future wife during the time of courtship, though this did not prevent him from being a masterful, difficult, and irritable husband; and, in spite of their strong mutual affection, their marriage was full of quarrels and misunderstandings.

 Thomas Carlyle attacking the 'political economists'
Carlyle's goes on to explain that over-population in Europe can be dealt with by emigration and he wonders where the leaders of this emigration are to be found.
Carlyle says that "decidedly you [the Negroes] will have to be servants of those that are born wiser than you, that are born lords of you; servants to the Whites" (p 205).
Mill especially objects to Carlyle's notion "that one kind of human beings are born servants to another kind" (p 92) and says that if, as Carlyle asserts, "the gods will this, it is the first duty of human beings to resist such gods" (p 87).

 Roots - Thomas Carlyle and Emerson
The relationship between Emerson and Carlyle was based in a deep stratum, for "in the irrational depths of their own minds there was a profound identity between them." (Harris, 3) They both attempted to find a skepticism-refuting faith and to combine philosophy and theology with literature.
Carlyle was more a man of action and Emerson more a man of thought, though of course this is a gross generalization.
Carlyle also possessed a greater need for the teeming life of the sprawling metropolises, and was more concerned with his role as a critic of society.

 Meet the Carlyle Group
Among the companies Carlyle owns are those which make equipment, vehicles and munitions for the US military, and its celebrity employees have long served an ingenious dual purpose, helping encourage investments from the very wealthy while also smoothing the path for Carlyle's defense firms.

Firms such as Carlyle make most of their money buying firms which are not publicly traded, overhauling them and selling them at a profit, so the process by which likely targets are evaluated is much more confidential than on the open market.

Carlyle has become the thread which indirectly links American military policy in Afghanistan to the personal financial fortunes of its celebrity employees, not least the current president's father.
But for the Carlyle Group, walking that narrow line is the art of doing business at the murky intersection of Washington politics, national security, and private capital; mastering it has enabled the group to amass $12 billion in funds under management.

 Thomas Carlyle
Carlyle is renowned for his passionate, preacher-like opposition to industrial society that was emerging in Britain, captured in his Chartism (1840) and, especially, Past and Present (1843), a book much admired by Frederick Engels.
Carlyle's darkest moment was the publication of his infamous defense of slavery (in his 1849 Fraser's Magazine) and his venomous Latter-Day Pamphlets (1850).
Theoretically, Carlyle saw little difference between a fl slave in a slave society and a joyous yeoman in a feudal society-- except that one is loyally bound to his task by chains and whips, and the other by tradition and custom.

 mass media: fourth estate
Carlyle here was describing the newly found power of the man of letters, and, by extension, the newspaper reporter.
