Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rescued Essays of Thomas Carlyle "Europe lay pining, obstructed, moribund; quack-ridden, hag-ridden, - is there a hag, or spectre of the Pit so baleful, hideous as your accredited quack, were he never so close-shaven, mild-spoken, plausible to himself and others? Quack-ridden: in that one word lies all misery whatsoever. Speciosity in all departments usurps the place of reality, thrusts reality away; instead of performance, there is appearance of performance. The quack is a Falsehood Incarnate; and speaks and makes and does mere falsehoods, which Nature with her veracity has to disown." - Carlyle, Chartism.
