Outstanding is its fairness, its reconstruction of Macaulay's times. Macaulay's spectacular progress, says Biographer Beatty, came mainly from a powerful tail wind: the hurricane force of the rising industrial middle class, with which he unequivocally aligned himself against the land-owning Tory aristocrats. His limitations came from the fact that he identified "material progress" with social heaven. His real genius lay in his power of blunt statement -a talent that would have...
