Nephew of Thomas Carlyle. Disputed the story of Carlyle's impotence as described by FH in The English Review, February 1911. Despite the scurrility of the allegation, there are other sources for it, including most notably J. A. Froude, in My Relations with Carlyle. (See also under Sir Charles Jessel).
