CARLYLE is so much better that he is said again to contemplate the writing of a trustworthy record of his life, with Mr. Froude to help him. With the biographies that have appeared he is not at all satisfied. HERBERT SPENCER, it is stated, has resolved to make a final effort for the completion of his work of organizing the " Psychology," of which he has only been enabled to give First Principles." Lest death, or a total break-down in health, or any other circumstances prevent him performing this task himself, he has nominated his successors in philosophical research.
