Excerpt from The Eclectic Magazine: Of Foreign Literature, Science, and Art, May to August, 1844 There is a multitude around him; and this is the first fact to establish, for it speaks in favor of the writer and of the public w he has won over. Since the day when, alone and uncomprehended, he penned the words which we have quoted, Teufelsdmck made proselytes. The mad hopes, pressed, with an allowable consciousness of the power which stirred within him, in the last chapter of Sartor Resartus, ' have been largely realized. The philosophy of clothes - thanks to the good and bad conduct of the two Dandiacal and Drudge sects - has made some progress. Signs have appeared they multiply daily on the horizon. The diame ter of the two bottomless, boiling whirl pools, f has widened and widened, as they approach each other in a threatening man ner; and many readers who commenced with a smile of pity, or scorn oi' the unintelligible and tiresome jargon, the insinuations, half ironical, half-wild, oi' the dark dreamer, look into his pages, with the perseverance of the monks of Mount Athos, to see whether they cannot there discover the great thought, of which they themselves begin to feel the want. They now admire as much as they once scorned, - they admire even when they cannot understand. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
