http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/760904132

Discussing, at length and in detail, Norton [Charles Eliot Norton]'s "action" for perceived inaccuracies in the publication of the Carlyle letters; complaining that Norton has relied too much on the word of Mary C[arlyle]; saying that "I worked for eight years over these Papers and the rest of his letters, with a magnifying glass and if mistakes have come in they are not due to carelessness;" discussing the rumors of a relationship between Carlyle and Lady Harriet Baring [Ashburton]; adding "I must have been guilty of some Strange Sin in some part of my life that I should be punished with being mixed up with so odious a business."
