English citations of valetism

• 1843, Thomas Carlyle, Past and Present, book 3, ch. II, Gospel of Mammonism

  […] the ALMIGHTY MAKER is not like a Clockmaker that once, in old immemorial ages, having made his Horologe of a Universe, sits ever since and sees it go! Not at all. Hence comes Atheism; come, as we say, many other isms; and as the sum of all, comes Valetism, the reverse of Heroism; sad root of all woes whatsoever.
