Item 141 - Letter from George Macaulay Trevelyan to R. C. Trevelyan

1 item

Garden Corner, West Road, Cambridge. - Is glad Bob likes the 'little book' ["The English Revolution, 1688–1698"]; he is right that George has 'kept off the "high lights"'; this is deliberate, both because there is not enough room to develop them here and in order 'not to attempt to rival Macaulay'. Knows any attempt would be a failure, and was keen 'to strike a different note from Macaulay, to secure confidence for [his] general views, which... are not really very different from Macaulay's after all' since he was right on the 'big impersonal issues'. Is very concerned about [Clifford] Allen: hopes Switzerland will give him some happiness and health. Glad to have better news about Bessie.
