The lecturing tour in the United States and the political visits to South Africa were permitted, because they were thought right.

But Fraser's Magazine had to be given up, partly that employment might be found for a young man in whom Carlyle was interested, and the project for a new history of Charles V.was perforce abandoned.

It has been said, though not by any one who knew the facts, that Froude profited in a pecuniary sense by exchanging history for biography.

The exact opposite is the truth.
From 1866 to 1869, the last years of his great book, Froude received from Messrs.

Longman about fourteen hundred pounds a year, including his salary as editor of Fraser, which he relinquished at Carlyle's bidding.
