Presents the candid diary of Thomas Macaulay, Victorian statesman, historian and author of "The History of England".

It states that these unique manuscripts held at Trinity College, Cambridge, are most revealing of all his writings. Volume 1 includes an Introduction and entries for 20 October 1838–12 June 1840.

This 1896 book contains Thomas Macaulay's essay on Warren Hastings, the first Governor-General of India. Arthur Innes prefaces the main part of the book with a biographical note on Macaulay and his style as a historian, together with an overview of the British conquest of India and the establishment of the colonial government.
The fourth volume of Thomas Pinney's acclaimed edition of Macaulay's letters covers the period between September 1841 and December 1848, in which Macaulay is shown keeping up an active political life as MP for Edinburgh and member of Lord John Russell's Whig Cabinet. At the same time his literary reputation is extended by The Lays of Ancient Rome, the collected Essays, and, at the end of the period spanned by this volume, the triumphant publication of the first two volumes of the History of England. In the same years Macaulay was enjoying perhaps the most satisfactory period of his private life: we see him comfortably established in the Albany, enjoying the society of his sister and her family, taking part as a leading figure in Whig political and literary circles, and confidently at work on the book which was to crown his fame.
