Selections From the Prose of Macaulay e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. These selections are chosen from the entire range of Macaulay's prose works with the exception of his speeches. Although the speeches were edited for publication, some of their individual characteristics of phrase and form were obviously intended for oral rather than for written expression. It is believed, therefore, that by restricting these selections to those compositions especially produced for the reading public, the best and most typical of Macaulay's literary work has been included.
