[uknown] : Tait's Edinburgh Magazine [review of Macaulay's History of England]

'Have been reading in "Tait's Magazine" an elaborate review of a new book by the indefatigable Government literator, Macaulay - no less than a "History of England". "Tait" gives copious extracts from which I easily perceive that the book is a piece of authentic Edinburgh Reviewing, declamatory in style, meagre in narrative, thoroughly corrupt in principle, as from all this man's essays on subjects of British history must have been expected.'

Century: 1800-1849     Reader/Listener/Group: John Mitchel      Print: Serial / periodical
