John Wilson Croker : article on Thomas Babington Macaulay's History of England
The Bishop of Exeter to John Wilson Croker, 13 April 1849: 'I was not satisfied with one reading of your article. 'The repetition has more than doubled my gratification, and my sense of the effectiveness of your chastisement. 'The great point of all is that you have decidedly fixed Mr. Macaulay's position in the literary republic. He is a great -- a very great -- historical novelist, and can never more be regarded in the severe character of an historian.'
