'230 LETTERS WRITTEN BY THOMAS CARLYLE TOXIChelsea, London: April 7, 1845.My dear Sir,—About a week ago I had your verykind letter with the Autograph of Schiller, whichlatter I shall take care to return you so soon as ithas served its purpose here. The Medallions, andthe Portrait of Schiller will arrive in good time fortheir object ; we shall certainly be able to make outa likeness of Schiller from the combination, unlessour part in it be mismanaged ;yours has been performedwith all imaginable fidelity ! I could regretthat you giveyom'self such a quantity of trouble toserve me ; really a far too liberal quantity of trouble !—but I suppose you find a satisfaction in it ;so I mustlet you have your way. To-day is my extremity ofhaste ; with Printers chasing me, and paper litter ofevery description lying round me in the most distractingway, I must restrict myself to the one littlepoint of business which your letter indicates : thatmatter of the ' Behemoth.' Your great Frederick isright in what he has written there, at least he is notwrong,— tho' I suspect he has but consulted BookCatalogues, or some secondhand Criticism, ratherthan the Work itself which he speaks of.'Behemothis the name of a very small book ofThomas Hobbes,Author of the 'Leviathan,' as you have guessed: Ithink the big * Leviathan ' was published about 1650
;V.\JRNHAGEN VON ENSE IN THE YEARS 1837-57 231or shortly after ; and this little ' Behemoth ' not tillabout 1670, tho' probably written long before. Ihad a coj)y of it, and read it twice some years agobut at this moment it has fallen aside, and I mustspeak from memory.It is properly a historical Essayon the late Civil War, which had driven Hobbes outof England ; it takes a most sceptical atheistic viewof the whole Quarrel ; imputes it all to the fury ofthe Preaching Priests, whom and indeed all Priestsand babbling Eeligionists of every kind Hobbes thinksthe Civil Power ought to have coerced into silence,or ordered to preach in a given style. In thismanner, thinks he, the troubles had all been prevented; similar troubles may again be prevented so.He speaks little about Cromwell; rather seems toadmire him, as a man who did coerce the Priests,tho' in a fashion of his own ;—this leads me tosuspect that your king had never seen the actualbook, but spoke of it from hearsay. It is a mostrugged, distinct, forciblelittle Book, by a man of theCreed and Temper above indicated ; I remember itgave me the idea of a person who had looked withmost penetrating tho' unbelieving eye upon thewhole Affair, and had better pointed out the epochsand real cardinal points of this great quarrel thanany other contemporary whom I had met with. Iknow not whether this will suffice for Herr Preuss'sobject and yours : but if you need more precise instruction,pray speak again ; it is very easy to be had
