You know, some days I kind of love my Victorianism prof.
I thought you might enjoy the following quote. Dr. Ramer sent me looking for it.

QUOTATION: I wish I was as cocksure of anything as Tom Macaulay is of everything.

ATTRIBUTION: William Lamb, Lord Melbourne, 2nd Viscount (1779–1848), British statesman, prime minister. Comment reported by Melbourne’s nephew Earl Cowper. Quoted in Lord Melbourne’s Papers, preface (1889).

We're reading Macauley's The History of England right now.
