Can someone confirm whether Charles Dickens dedicated the first  
edition of Hard Times to Thomas Carlyle? This does not appear in the  
modern editions of the novel. Perhaps it was suppressed after the  
Carlyle-Mill debate regarding Governor Eyre, a definite proof that our  
science was not so dismal, and that the so-called "progressive"  
intellectuals were full-fledged reactionaries that sided with pro-slavery  
Carlyle.
