Thomas B. Macaulay Quotes:
Ocupation: Former Secretary at War
Life: October 25, 1800 - December 28, 1859
Birthday: October 25
Death: December 28
But the time will come when New England will be as thickly peopled as old England. Wages will be as low, and will fluctuate as much with you as with us. You will have your Manchesters and Birminghams; and, in those Manchesters and Birminghams, hundreds of thousands of artisans will assuredly be sometimes out of work. Then your institutions will be fairly brought to the test.
