Among the articles in Fraser's Magazine during its early years are a number which contain parallelisms to the acknowledged work of Carlyle. Many of these treat more or less fully Carlyle's favorite theme of the Vates, the Poet, the Man. Most of them show strong German influence, with a regard both for transcendental philosophy and aesthetic criticism.
The following paper has grown out of a more general investigation of Fraser's Magazine, which it is my intention to publish later in book form. In presenting any part of this material, I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to Professor Thorndike, whose stimulating criticism has constantly opened to me new aspects of the work.

3 Edinburgh Rev., CXCVI, 285. Centenary article on the history of the Review.
4 Carlyle was evidently not paid at a stipulated rate by Fraser's, since at one time he complains that the magazine pays less than other periodicals, and at another time he states that it pays more. See Carlyle Letters I, 248, and II, 99. It is probable that in the long run Fraser's paid him slightly more than did the others.

22 Ibid., VI, 183. The passage runs: ‘Have we not said it—yea, and it shall stand fast—that Lord Byron became a poet in consequence of his education having been as far as possible from that breeding and bringing up which can only with propriety be called lordly? Have we not said, that it was only inasmuch as Byron was less of a lord that he was more of a poet?‘
