Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Literary and Biographical Studies
Some Old square, faded, and tattered letters of Zachary Macaulay came into my hands the other day letters that have lain hidden for a century, that Lady Knutsford knew naught of, when She wrote the life of Lord Macaulay's father, the dominant, and indomitable Zachary. Zachary Macaulay ruled his family with an inflexible Will, yet that will was softened by the sweet influences Of his gentle wife Selina. These Old letters gave interesting glimpses into those home influences that moulded the character Of Tom, ' who was to become famous, and as historian, to Wield such an influence in England. The early training Of Tom's mother had been a useful one. She was the daughter Of a Bristol bookseller, a Mr. Mills, who had been so successful that he had been enabled to build a row of houses on the outskirts of the city, naming it Mills Place.' In living memory this place was near to open country, and close to Newfoundland Gardens, where vegetables were largely grown, and the little cottages were picturesque two-roomed dwellings. Mr. Mills lived in one Of the houses at Mills Place. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
