A List of Macaulay's Published Writings
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 May 2010
Summary
No full bibliography of Macaulay exists. This is, therefore, a first attempt to provide a complete, authenticated list.
I have extended the term ‘published’ to include those of Macaulay's speeches that were printed at the time of their delivery, though of course more often than not he had no control over the texts produced, including most of those appearing in Hansard.
For a discussion of the evidence in support of the attributions of various unacknowledged writings, see my ‘Notes on Macaulay's Unacknowledged and Uncollected Writings,’ Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America, LXVII (1973), 17–31.
