The historian and whig Macaulay’s [1880-1859] famous attack in the Edinburgh Review in 1829 on James Mill’s Essays. Bain writes “an attack made in the interest of Whiggism, as against the Radical school. There was much superficiality, as well as flippancy, in Macaulay’s articles; yet, they exposed weak points in the statement, if not in the substance of our author’s theories; and they are memorable for having created an epoch in the intellectual history of his son, so far as concerned the Logic of Politics.” Bain, pp.215, 221-227
