This book has been put on-line as part of the BUILD-A-BOOK Initiative at the Celebration of Women Writers by John Phelan.

New Letters and Memorials of Jane Welsh Carlyle was originally annotated by Thomas Carlyle and edited by Alexander Carlyle. It was published by John Lane, The Bodley Head, London and New York, 1893. This on-line edition, and its accompanying Reference Page and Contents are the work of John Phelan. The original two-volume collection of letters has been separated into several files for convenience of the on-line reader. Each of the original volumes has been split into 3 "rational" sections - the breaks occur at a new letter. In addition, for convenience of the reader, a table of contents has been created, listing and linking to individual years and letters within the collection. This table of contents did not appear in the original publication.
