-ground at Ecclefechan, where the ashes of his father and
mother, and of others of his kindred, repose. He had executed what is
known in Scotch law as a "deed of mortification," by virtue of
which he bequeathed to Edinburgh University the estate of
Craigenputtoch--which had come to him through his wife--for the
foundation of ten Bursaries in the Faculty of Arts, to be called the
"John Welsh Bursaries." In his Will he bequeathed the books which
he had used in writing on Cromwell and Friedrich to Harvard College,
Massachusetts.

In less than a month after his death, with a haste on many accounts
to be deplored, and which has excited much animadversion, his literary
executor, Mr. James Anthony Froude, the historian, issued two volumes
of posthumous "Reminiscences," written by Carlyle, partly in 1832,
and partly in 1866-67. The first section consists of a memorial paper,
written immediately after his father's death; the second contains
Reminiscences of his early friend, Edward Irving, commenced at Cheyne
Row in the autumn of 1866, and finished at Mentone on the 2nd January,
1867. The Reminiscences of Lord Jeffrey were begun on the following
day, and finished on January 19. The paper on Southey and Wordsworth,
relegated to the Appendix, was also written at Mentone between the
28th January and the 8th March, 1867. The Memorials of his wife, which
fill the greater part of the second volume, were written at Cheyne
Row, during the month after her death.

Of the earlier portraits of Carlyle three are specially interesting,
1. The full-length sketch by "Croquis" (Daniel Maclise) which formed
one of the _Fraser_ Gallery portraits, and was published in the
magazine in June, 1833. (The original sketch of this is now deposited
in the Forster Collection at South Kensington.) 2. Count D'Orsay's
sketch, published by Mitchell in 1839, is highly characteristic of
the artist. It was taken when no man of position was counted a dutiful
subject who did not wear a black satin stock and a Petersham coat.
The great author's own favourite among the early portraits was 3.
the sketch by Samuel Laurence, engraved in Horne's "New Spirit of the
Age," published in 1844. Since the art of photography came into vogue,
a series of photographs of various degrees of merit and success have
been executed by Messrs. Elliott and Fry, and by Watkins. The late
Mrs. Cameron also produced a photograph of him in her peculiar style,
but it was not so successful as he
