In this artwork, how is the Replica of the History elucidated?
A replica of the bronze by MacDonald and Creswick, itself a Category B listed building, was given to Ecclefechan, Carlyle's place of birth and burial, by Alexander Carlyle, husband of Mary Carlyle Aitken, the writer's niece, and unveiled on 3 September 1929 by the writer's granddaughter Betty Carlyle in the presence of 7,000 spectators. Sir James Crichton-Browne delivered an address, transcribed in the 11 October 1929 issue of The Advertiser. He referred to Carlyle as not merely "a great master of literature" but "our supreme historian", "an earnest social reformer", and, "in short, a man of genius of the colossal type".
