Excerpt from Macaulay's Essay on Milton: Edited With Introduction and Notes

The text is that of the collected edition of the Essays, issued in 1849. Variations between it and the original form published in the Edinburgh Re view are given in the Appendix. The paragraphs have been numbered, partly for facility of reference, and partly to emphasize the importance of what is really Macaulay's unit of composition. Both stu dent and teacher will find it well to base each lesson on a definite number of paragraphs.

The notes aim not only at explaining with sufficient fulness all Macaulay's allusions, but at affording the student some guidance in relation to Macaulay's critical judgments.

I am indebted to Mr. George H. Ely for many valuable suggestions with reference to the notes, and in particular I have to thank him for collating the text with the original text of the essay as it appeared in the Edinburg}: Review.
