This printing of Sartor Resartus was to honour Carlyle's importance to the printer. Along with Ruskin, Emerson and Milton, Carlyle was a great influence on the formation of Cobden-Sanderson's thoughts and beliefs. Sartor Resartus was thought by many to be Carlyle's most spiritual work and hence its significance to Cobden-Sanderson. Twelve Essays entitled: I. History II. Self-Reliance III. Compensation IV. Spiritual Laws V. Love VI. Friendship VII. Prudence VIII. Heroism IX. The Over-Soul X. Circles XI. Intellect XII. Art.
