While instituting the English education system in India, Macaulay got the idea to write a history of his home country. He began writing in 1839, after he returned, and the result is the heralded five-volume The History of England from the Accession of James the Second. In surveying British civilization up until 1702, he discusses cities, population, class distinction, styles, and events.
