One of this author's works contrasts figures like Plugson of Undershot and Sir Jabesh Windbag with the nobility of the twelfth century monk Abbot Samson. Anthony Trollope satirized this author as Dr. Pessimist Anticant in The Warden in response to one of his essay collections, which includes "Hudson's Statue." This author invented the figure of "Bobus" to represent corrupt businessmen, and depicted black workers on a Caribbean sugar plantation as subhuman in an essay which notoriously defends slavery, "Occasional Discourse on the Negro Question." He wrote a book tracing the progression from the "Everlasting No" to the "Everlasting Yea," which describes the "philosophy of clothes" developed by Diogenes TeufelsdrÃ¶ckh. He coined the term "dismal science" to describe economics, and argued that history consists of "the biography of great men." For 10 points, name this Scottish author of a history of the French Revolution and Sartor Resartus.
