Thomas Babington (T.B) Macaulay (1800-1859) was a 19th century British poet, historian, and Whig politician and one of the two Members of Parliament for Edinburgh. He was both an essayist and reviewer, and he also wrote extensively on British history. Macaulay played an important role in developing a bilingual colonial India, as well as enacting a criminal law system after the Indian Rebellion of 1857.
