First published in 1964. Before the great war Sir Charles Firth
used to give from time to time a course of lectures on Macaulay's
History of England. When he undertook the preparation of an
illustrated edition of that work, published 1913-15 in six volumes
he began to revise his lectures in order to compile from them a
commentary on the History. Unfortunately the task of revision was
interrupted during the war and never resumed except to publish two
articles, on Macaulay's Third Chapter1 and Macaulay's Treatment of
Scottish History,2 which form chapters vi and viii of this book.
Collated in this volume are these works and also commentary whose
object is not merely to criticise the statements made by Macaulay
and the point of view adopted by him, but also to show the extent
to which his conclusions had been invalidated or confirmed by later
writers who had devoted their attention to particular parts of his
subject, or by the new documentary materials published during the
last sixty years.
First Published in 1964. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.
Originally delivered as the Rede Lecture in the Senate House,
Cambridge, in 1910 and published the same year, this book addresses
the parallels between the English and American civil wars in order
to bring out the special characteristics of each. The similarities
between the two wars were commented upon during the American civil
war but the conflicts differ from one another in several important
ways, which Firth highlights. This book will be of value to anyone
with an interest in comparative history.
