MACAULAY

The editions of Macaulay are so numerous that it is useless to

attempt to enumerate them. A standard edition was collected in

1866 by his sister, Lady Trevelyan. Four volumes are devoted

to the history and three to the essays and lives of famous

authors which he wrote for the _Encyclopedia Britannica_.

Macaulay's essays, which have enjoyed the greatest popularity

in this country, may be found in many forms. A one-volume

edition, containing the principal essays, is issued by several

publishers. Sir George Otto Trevelyan's _The Life and Letters

of Lord Macaulay_ in two volumes (1876) is a more interesting

biography than Lockhart's _Scott_. The best single-volume

estimate of Macaulay is J. Cotter Morison's _Macaulay_ in the

English Men of Letters series. Good short critical sketches of

Macaulay and his work may be found in Sir Leslie Stephen's

_Hours in a Library_, volume 2, and in Lord Morley's _Critical

Miscellanies_, volume 2.
