  Why We Go to War - Sir Winston Churchill
Churchill was foremost in urging a firm stand against them, but the handling of the issue by the Cabinet gave the public impression that a major war was being risked for an inadequate cause and on insufficient consideration.
Here Churchill was in his element, in the firing line--at fighter headquarters, inspecting coast defenses or antiaircraft batteries, visiting scenes of bomb damage or victims of the "blitz," smoking his cigar, giving his V sign, or broadcasting frank reports to the nation, laced with touches of grim Churchillian humour and splashed with Churchillian rhetoric.
Churchill as the popular architect of victory seemed unbeatable, but as an election campaigner he proved to be his own worst enemy, indulging, seemingly at Beaverbrook's urging, in extravagant prophecies of the appalling consequences of a Labour victory and identifying himself wholly with the Conservative cause.

Churchill Babington (11th March, 1821–12 January 1889) was an English classical scholar and archaeologist, born at Rothley Temple, in Leicestershire.
He was first educated by his father, Thomas Babington, and then studied under Charles Wycliffe Goodwin, the orientalist and archaeologist, entering St John's College, Cambridge in 1839 and graduating in 1843, seventh in the first class of the classical tripos and a senior optime.
Babington's edition was a facsimile of the editio princeps published at Venice in 1543, with an Introduction and French and English versions.

 Excerpt | Churchill: A Biography by Roy Jenkins
Winston Churchill is an icon of modern history, but even though he was at the forefront of the political scene for almost 60 years, he might be remembered only as a minor player in the drama of British government had it not been for World War II.
Churchill was far too many faceted, idiosyncratic and unpredictable a character to allow himself to be imprisoned by the circumstances of his birth.
Winston Churchill's family background, while nominally of the highest aristocracy, was subtly inferior to that of a Cavendish, a Russell, a Cecil or a Stanley.

 "History's Impressario" - The Churchill Centre
Churchill’s assumption in staking all on an Anglo-American alliance was that it would be used "to underwrite Britain’s position as a Great Power." But the result of Churchill’s dedication to the myth of the unity of English-speaking peoples, Charmley contends, was to reduce a once proud and independent country into a pathetic American satellite state.
Some attribute his critique of Churchill to the fact that he was born a decade after the end of the wan if he had only been around in 1940, they think, then he would have understood.
Churchill was a remarkable man, but he was not the single architect of the decline and fall of the British Empire.

During his tenure of the office of public orator, from 1857 to 1869, a critical edition of Shakespeare, designed in 1860, was successfully completed by Clark and Aldis Wright.
15 Clark’s name has been fitly commemorated by the establishment, at Trinity college, of the “Clark Lectureship in the Literature of England.”; His contemporary, Churchill Babington, of St. John’s, produced, in 1851–8, the editio princeps of four of the recently discovered speeches of Hyperides.
Born a year later than Clark and Babington, Hubert Ashton Holden, fellow of Trinity and afterwards headmaster of Ipswich, edited a school-text of Aristophanes, with an exhaustive Onomasticon, and produced elaborate commentaries on three of the treatises of Xenophon, and on eight of Plutarch’s Lives, besides editing Cicero, De Officiis, and two of his speeches.

 Confessions of a Macaulay Fan - Thomas Babington Macaulay Reason - Find Articles
Such questions were the talk of London in 1840, which is one reason I'm always urging people to read the historian-essayist-statesman Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800-1859), a figure overdue for rediscovery given the issues that agitate our current politics.
Indeed, the extraordinary clarity, vividness, allusiveness, and energy of his writing style, conceded even by his enemies, won him from early on a huge following everywhere English was spoken.
All very well in their way, but oneliners make a poor introduction to a writer known for painting on such gigantic canvases: His History of England is among the longest standard works in English, and even the essays can take 10 or 20 pages to warm up before getting to their main theme.

These last two objections are evidently culled from Lord Macaulay's History of England and as the Doctors seem to lay greater weight on the arguments used by so famous a writer, I will, with your Lordship's permission, venture to deal with them first.
The value of Macaulay's ecclesiastical "history" has been exposed by that writer's relative, the late Churchill Babington, and by the late Prebendary Harrington, of Exeter.]
The case of Morrison is a very difficult one, and it should be noticed that the reverend Doctors, while they recognise the two-fold difficulty, do not attach to it the same weight as we do on our side.
