John Wilson Croker : review of Thomas Babington Macaulay, History of England

The Duke of Rutland to John Wilson Croker, 7 May 1849: 'I read with much interest your review of Macaulay's book. I cannot deny that I read the book itself with much amusement and gratification. But there are very many parts of it which I could not read without pain, and for the very reason which you give in the criticisms you have made upon it.'

Century: 1800-1849     Reader/Listener/Group: Duke of Rutland      Print: Book
