The attached is a fine example of cherry picking. What you want is a full history of English political institutions, which Macaulay will give you. A couple of quotes will not substitute for his work entire, and those two quotes, I assure you, do not reflect his main themes.
And, for what its worth, you will find Macaulay generally sympathetic to your loyalties, so it should prove to be a good read for you.
I didn't say they did. Do you disagree with the substance of his statements in post 249, or those of Smith, Fiske or Bancroft in the same post on the significance of Calvinism and Cromwell in the history of political liberty? If you don't disagree then you have lost the argument. If you do disagree, why?
Cordially,
