Macaulays Gift For Absorbing Literature Revealed
The Kansas City Star notes Lord Macaulay read vast volumes in thirteen months while serving on the supreme council of India. It cites his letter claiming to have read Ischylus, Sophocles, Euripides, and many others twice or more, plus Aristotle and Plutarch, with Archides and Lucian. The piece compares Macaulay, Balzac, and Shakespeare as devourers of books and argues that intense reading stems from temperament, not time.
