Book Excerpt: public that insisted on their re-issue, and few would be bold enough to deny that the public was right."It is to Mr. Morison that the plan followed in the present edition of the Essays is due. In his monograph on Macaulay (English Men of Letters series) he devotes a chapter to the Essays and "with the object of giving as much unity as possible to a subject necessarily wanting it," classifies the Essays into four groups, (1)English history, (2)Foreign history, (3)Controversial, (4)Critical and Miscellaneous. The articles in the first group are equal in bulk to those of the three other groups put together, and are contained in the first volume of this issue. They form a fairly complete survey of English history from the time of Elizabeth to the later years of the reign of George III, and are fitly introduced by the Essay on Hallam's History, which forms a kind of summary or microcosm of the whole period.The scheme might be made still more complete by including certain articles (and especially tRead More

Excerpt from Critical Historical Essays, Vol. 1 The essay on William Pitt is in form and substance one of the best of Macaulay's Essays. Macaulay's amazing gusto for Parliamentary history and his power of vigorous, although overcharged portraiture are nowhere better exemplified. Macaulay was far more conversant with the details, far more sympathetic to the spirit of the eighteenth than of the seventeenth century. Among the English statesmen of the eighteenth century none afforded a theme more suitable to Macaulay's bold and brilliant rhetoric than William Pitt. With all his waywardness and affectation in little things, in great things Pitt was a simple and majestic character, sincere, brave, impetuous, a contemner of sordid gains, greedy only of power which he employed to exalt his country, and of the applause with which she repaid his services. Other public men have been more steadily wise and constantly successful; but Pitt's first famous administration is still the most glorious in two hundred years of Parliamentary government. The essay is not indeed faultless either as biography or as history. The accomplished author of Britain and Her Rivals somewhat unkindly taxes Macaulay with an instinctive preference for commonplace men and commonplace movements which rendered him unsympathetic with irregular genius like that of Pitt. "He betrays a perpetual distrust; his admiration has the air of being extorted; his censure has in it a note of satisfaction." He is more deeply impressed by Pitt's failure as a Parliamentary politician than by his success as a temporary dictator. We may allow some weight to this censure and more to the observation that Macaulay, whilst dilating upon every Parliamentary incident which preceded the outbreak of the Seven Years' War, scarcely helps the reader to understand how much was then at stake for England; nothing less than the dominion of North America and of India. Since the commencement of the reign of George II. both branches of the House of Bourbon had drawn together with the view of asserting their colonial and commercial interests against those of England.
