Excerpt from The Life and Letters of Lord Macaulay, Vol. 1 of 2 This work has been undertaken principally from a conviction that it is the performance of a duty which, to the best of my ability, it is incumbent on me to fulfill. Though even on this ground I can not appeal to the forbearance of my readers, I may venture to refer to a peculiar difficulty which I have experienced in dealing with Lord Macaulay's private papers. To give to the world compositions not intended for publication may be no injury to the fame of writers who, by habit, were careless and hasty workmen; but it is far otherwise in the case of one who made it a rule for himself to publish nothing which was not carefully planned, strenuously labored, and minutely finished.

Excerpt from The Life and Letters of Lord Macaulay More than thirty years have already passed since the Life and Letters of Lord Macaulay first saw the light; and the author of that book has now reached the age when it is none too soon to set his affairs in order, and put his work into the final shape in which he would wish the world to read it. I have thought it prudent to use a very sparing hand in dealing with Macaulay's biography; for I have been warned by the examples, which literary history only too frequently affords, of the risk inseparable from any attempt to alter the form, or increase the bulk, of a literary production that has had the good fortune not to displease the public. The existing text has accordingly been left untouched; but new matter of importance will nevertheless be found between the covers. Fresh notes have been inserted at the close of the Fourth, the Eleventh, and the Fourteenth Chapters. The First Appendix contains a contemporary account of Macaulay's earliest appearance upon a public platform, written by a lady who was a family friend of the young orator; and the Third Appendix pictures Macaulay in his aspect of a customer at the book-stalls. A more noteworthy addition to this book is the Sixteenth Chapter which, now concludes the volume. That chapter gives a selection, some parts of which have never yet been published, from the remarks pencilled by my uncle on the blank spaces of volumes that he had in reading.

Excerpt from Index to Trevelyan's Life and Letters of Lord Macaulay (Cabinet Ed., 1878) IT will not be thought necessary to urge the claims of Biography generally to be represented in the Index Society, seeing that if it cannot appeal to any special class of searchers, it is only because there is no province of literature which does not fall under its sway, no toilers in the field of Letters who have not something to do with the study of the lives of others. Nor will Index-lovers, who are fond of Macaulay's writings, look for any reason for the appearance of this Index beyond the bare fact that Mr. Trevelyan sent his book into the World Without its 'bag and baggage.' But if it were necessary to reason the need of the thing, without stopping to consider whether this Life of Macaulay is to be ranked among great English biographies or no, it might be held sufficient to run the eye over nearly any page of this Index, and note the number of men famous above their kind in the most varied walks of life. In one page will be found specified entries under the names of Bulwer Lytton, Bunyan, Buonaparte, and Burke; in another Lord Carlisle and Thomas Carlyle face us cheek by jowl; in a third, Dickens and Disraeli, or Gibbon and Gladstone, or Southey, de Stael and Stanley.

Excerpt from Life and Letters of Zachary Macaulay Zachary Macaulay, the third son of the Rev. John Macaulay and of his second wife, Margaret Campbell of Inverseger, was born at the manse of Inveraray on the 2nd of May 1768. The clan MacAulay had long inhabited the western Highlands, and appears to have been considered a branch of the MacGregors. In a bond or deed of friendship between their chief, Aulay MacAulay of Ardincaple, and the chief of the MacGregors, which was executed in 1591, MacAulay acknowledges to being a cadet of the clan MacGregor, and agrees to pay a tribute of cattle to his chief. But when the MacGregors fell under the ban of the law, Aulay MacAulay did not scruple to turn against them, and did his best to avert any suspicion of complicity in their rebellion from himself and his followers, by the hostility with which he pursued his former allies. The successors of this politic chieftain did not possess sufficient prudence to retain a grasp upon the property which his shrewdness had preserved for them. They gradually dissipated the family possessions by carelessness and extravagance, until the last chief, another Aulay MacAulay, overwhelmed with debt, was reduced to sell Ardincaple and the scanty remains of his patrimony to John, the fourth Duke of Argyll, in 1764. Some of the Macaulays had settled in the south-west part of the island of Lewis, and in the reign of James VI. of Scotland one of them was distinguished by the name of Donald Cam, to signify that he was blind of one eye.
