till that of WiUiam lEL In the first chapters Macaulay surveys, briefly indeed, but with the know- ledge of historian, scholar, and antiquary combined, the social and political state of ^ Treyely ail's lAfe ofMacaulayj toL L 138 LORD MACAULAY. England from the earliest records worthy of reliance. He also sketches the state of the Continent at the same period to better explain the primitive condition of England. The early days of Great Britain and Ireland afford him none of that exquisite pleasu...re which he enjoys in the histories of ancient Greece and Eome. The manners, customs, and ideas of Britons, Saxons, and Normans possess Kttle, if any, attraction for him. After a short yet masterly survey of the pohtical state of England, Scotland, and Ireland, when independent of each other, or nearly so, he rather hastens to the time when they were at least nominally united under the rule of James I. of England and Vii. of Scotland. From this period he apparently feels far more interest in British history ; for from about this time Enghsh literature was beginning to rival that of classic times in.
