    Description

    Leather Binding

    Trevelyan edition. Macaulay's political writings are famous for their ringing prose and for their confident, sometimes dogmatic, emphasis on a progressive model of British history, according to which the country threw off superstition, autocracy and confusion to create a balanced constitution and a forward-looking culture combined with freedom of belief and expression. This model of human progress has been called the Whig interpretation of history. This philosophy appears most clearly in the essays Macaulay wrote for the Edinburgh Review. Complete in two volumes.

    Condition

    In armorial tree-calf bindings. Externally, smart, with just some slight rubbing, and some sunning to the spines. Front joints are starting. Internally, firmly bound. Prize bookplates to front pastedown of volume I. Pages are very bright and clean.
