Quote from Thomas Carlyle in 1835: "After some considerable gasping, I learned from [John Stuart] Mill this fact: that my Manuscript, all except some four tattered leaves, was annihilated! He had left it out (too carelessly); it had been taken for wastepaper: and so five months of as tough labour as I could remember of, were as good as vanished, gone like a whiff of smoke."
