Lord Macauley was a British historian and Whig politician, who served Queen Victoria , as the Secretary at War between 1839 and 1841, and as the Paymaster-General between 1846 and 1848. This volume contains 27 essays on literature and politics - 10 on literature from Knight's Quarterly in 1823 to 1824, 17 on politics from Edinburgh Review 1825-1831. His political essays "have been acclaimed for their readability, but criticized for their inflexible attachment to the attitudes of the Whig school of history".
