 | | His father, Zachary Macaulay (1768-1838), had been governor of Sierra Leone, and was in 1800 secretary to the chartered company which had founded that colony; an ardent philanthropist, he did much to secure the abolition of the slave trade, and he edited the abolitionist organ, the Christian Observer, for many years. | | | When the abolition of slavery came before the house as a practical question, Macaulay had the prospect of having to surrender office or to vote for a modified abolition, viz, twelve years apprenticeship, which was proposed by the ministry, but condemned by the abolitionists. | | | On the 1st of March 1831 the Reform Bill was introduced, and on the second night of the debate Macaulay made the first of his reform:spe~ches. |

| | In praise of Thomas Macaulay |
| | There was opposition to Macaulay and his minute in his own times even from members within the colonial establishment. | | | It is trite to state that not only R.K. Narayan and Salman Rushdie, but the very constitution of the Republic of India and the landmark judgments of its jurists are all a direct fallout of Macaulay’s historic minute. | | | But in any event you cannot ignore Macaulay and his enduring decisive intervention in India’s history. |

| | Reason magazine -- August/September 2000, Confessions of a Macaulay Fan by Walter Olson |
| | What propels the reader of his history through the long battle between court and country, between the party of state prerogative and the party of liberty, is the way Macaulay gets you to root for the latter much as one roots for a sports team. | | | History, Macaulay once wrote, is "made up of the bad actions of extraordinary men," and those who idealize English institutions are likely to squirm at his portraits. | | | Macaulay may have taken his relentless empiricism too far for some modern libertarians' tastes, but it stood him in good stead when he turned to one of the great controversies of his own day, the new factory system that had transformed Britain amid an export-driven globalization of its economy. |

| | Thomas Babington Macaulay, Lord Macaulay |
| | Thomas Babington Macaulay was educated at private schools and at Trinity College, Cambridge where he won several poetry prizes. | | | He was elected a fellow of Trinity in 1824 and it was through his political articles, essays, and speeches on behalf of the Whigs which brought him early public recognition. | | | His poetry is epic in style, the best example of which probably being Horatius from the Lays of Ancient Rome (1842) which blends erudite scholarship with dramatic narrative and stirring prose. |

| | In the sweep and power of his writing Macaulay rivals the finest novelists. | | | Though the theme of his History is clearly defined - the 1688 Revolution and the reign of William III which effectively consolidated that Revolution - it succeeds in presenting Macaulay's interpretation of the whole course of English history. | | | Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800-1859) won instantaneous and outstanding success in prose and poetry, in politics and oratory. |

| | And remained so (at least in the US) for a century and a half — until, on a day of infamy just a few years ago, the Walt Disney Corporation and their stooges in Congress got the law changed to the modern law, which extends copyright for a truly absurd period of time. | | | A SPEECH DELIVERED IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS ON THE 5TH OF FEBRUARY 1841 | | | I should note that Macaulay's position, slightly modified, did become the basis of copyright law in the English speaking world. |

| | Thomas Babington Macaulay |
| | Taine was perhaps the first to draw attention to the manner in which Macaulay in his History used apparently random anecdotes, illustrations, and allusions to reinforce his major themes. | | | The French critic chose the example of james II's arrival in Ireland in 1689 to make his point: "No horses to be found at Cork, the country a desert, the peasants marauders and butchers." All this adds up to more than some random observations on social history. | | | Not only was Macaulay very conscious, then, of the importatlce of scaffolding in historical writing -- but he was indeed a consummate master of the art of draping his narrative around that scaffolding in sUch a way that the latter remained for the most part invisible. |

| | He was a clever essayist and critic of literature, a politician of the most ardent Whig variety, a government bureaucrat in India, a Member of Parliament, Secretary of War, and the author of a famous History of England. | | | He wrote with a seemingly effortless power that made his subject, whatever it was, immediate, interesting and entertaining. | | | Macaulay is careful to describe the historical context for each lay, and the events will be much easier to follow if you have the necessary background. |
