		His father, Zachary Macaulay (1768-1838), had been governor of Sierra Leone, and was in 1800 secretary to the chartered company which had founded that colony; an ardent philanthropist, he did much to secure the abolition of the slave trade, and he edited the abolitionist organ, the Christian Observer, for many years.
		Macaulay was reduced to such straits that he had to sell his Cambridge gold medal.
		When the abolition of slavery came before the house as a practical question, Macaulay had the prospect of having to surrender office or to vote for a modified abolition, viz, twelve years apprenticeship, which was proposed by the ministry, but condemned by the abolitionists.

		Taine was perhaps the first to draw attention to the manner in which Macaulay in his History used apparently random anecdotes, illustrations, and allusions to reinforce his major themes.
		When he devised as a means of exposition the declamatory disquisition, a summary of the arguments that might have been used by various parties to sustain their feelings at critical junctures, he did so because he felt he needed to have an equivalent for the speeches employed by the ancient historians.
		Not only was Macaulay very conscious, then, of the importatlce of scaffolding in historical writing -- but he was indeed a consummate master of the art of draping his narrative around that scaffolding in sUch a way that the latter remained for the most part invisible.

	Thomas Babington Macaulay History of England
		Thomas Babington Macaulay was born on October 25th, 1800, at Rothley Temple, Leicestershire, as the son of former African Colonial Governor and anti-slavery philanthropist Zachary Macaulay.
		Macaulay began to draw notice through the quality of his speeches including one delivered in support of the dramatically contentious parliamentary Reform Bill in March 1831 that was praised by Sir Robert Peel as containing portions "as beautiful as anything I have ever heard or read."
		These weaknesses stem largely from Macaulay's approach to his subject which was that of a definite advocate of "progress." Macaulay's view of progress being closely aligned with an interpretation of history that saw many real achievements in British and World history as resulting from policies pursued by the Whig political interest.

		Macaulay may have used insensitive expressions when he talked about his hope that a race of “brown Englishmen” would emerge.

		Macaulay has a fair claim to being the most influential of the British classical liberals, and few would dispute that he's the most fun to read.
		History, Macaulay once wrote, is "made up of the bad actions of extraordinary men," and those who idealize English institutions are likely to squirm at his portraits.
		Macaulay may have taken his relentless empiricism too far for some modern libertarians' tastes, but it stood him in good stead when he turned to one of the great controversies of his own day, the new factory system that had transformed Britain amid an export-driven globalization of its economy.

		The growing power of the Whigs, as the party of the middle-class industrialists and businessmen, created the need for a reinterpretation of English history that emphasized the role of the civil war of the 17th century, the Glorious Revolution, and the Hanoverian Settlement as the cornerstones of English freedom, prosperity, and social progress.

		Anyone could see its ravages, he said, by standing on a hill and comparing the ivy-clad cottage of the traditional farm laborer with the ugly, uniform brick dwellings of the industrial workers.
		At the same time, Southey argued fervently that the new industrial regime was far too secular in tone; it now slighted the claims of religion to be the basis of civil government.
		Macaulay retorted that societies where religious faith has been scanty or missing--he names ancient Athens as an example--have not for that reason found it advisable to dispense with civil government.
