A collection of Lord Thomas Babington Macaulay's essays, which first appeared in The Edinburgh Review, complete in two volumes. Bound in half calf with marbled boards. Complete in two volumes.

This collection is comprised of articles that Lord Macaulay had previously contributed to the Edinburgh Review. These essays have been praised by some and criticised as maintaining 'whig history' by others. Essays include 'Milton', 'Machiavelli', 'Moore's Life of Lord Byron', 'Gladstone on Church and State', and 'Warren Hastings', among many others. With the bookplate of Josceline Grove to each volume. Bound in half calf with marbled boards. Externally, generally smart, with light bumping to the extremities.
