Thomas Babington Macaulay in a few words

How does he manage, in two or three words, to paint an individual, or to indicate a landscape?
William Makepeace Thackeray, British novelist (1811–1863) · Roundabout Papers, 1863
Macaulay had been well received in the character of an Edinburgh Reviewer, and his first great speech in the House of Commons at once opened to him all the doors in London that were best worth entering.
George Otto Trevelyan, British statesman and author (1838-1928) · Life and Letters of Lord Macaulay. Volume 1
