Thomas Babington Macaulay Macaulay
Marginal Notes by Lord Macaulay (1907) is a collection of literary and historical essays written by Thomas Babington Macaulay, a prominent British historian, politician, and essayist of the 19th century. The book features a selection of Macaulay’s famous marginalia, notes and comments he made in the margins of books and manuscripts he read throughout his life. The essays in Marginal Notes cover a wide range of topics, from literary criticism and analysis of classic works of literature, such as Shakespeare’s plays and Milton’s poetry, to historical events and figures, including the French Revolution and the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. Macaulay’s writing is characterized by his erudition, wit, and keen insight, as well as his strong opinions and biases. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of the most influential thinkers of his time, and a valuable resource for scholars and students of literature, history, and politics. It is also a testament to the enduring legacy of Macaulay’s ideas and the impact he had on the intellectual and cultural life of Victorian England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
