Critical, Historical, and Miscellaneous Essays; Vol. 5 by Macaulay
"Critical, Historical, and Miscellaneous Essays; Vol. 5" by Thomas Babington Macaulay is a collection of essays published in 1843. Originally appearing in the Edinburgh Review over two decades, these pieces examine historical figures from Milton to Addison and events from the War of Spanish Succession to debates on church and state. Celebrated for their brilliant, lucid style and broad perspective, the essays also drew criticism for their Whig prejudices and factual liberties,
yet became wildly popular across the English-speaking world. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
