This study is an attempt to look behind
the scenes at the self-effacing man,
Zachary Macaulay - one far less known
than Wilberforce or his famous son,
Thomas Babington Macaulay - and to
correct the imbalance of the record. It
is an endeavour to assess in some
measure Zachary Macaulay's enormous
contribution to the abolition of both
the slave trade and of slavery itself in
the British Dominions. More than all, as
Macaulay himself would have wished, we
seek to give God the glory for raising
up such a man at so critical a juncture
of British national history.
