William Pitt, Atterbury (1860) is a historical biography written by Thomas Babington Macaulay. The book is a detailed account of the life and political career of William Pitt, a prominent British statesman who served as Prime Minister of Great Britain twice during the late 18th century. Macaulay also discusses the life of Francis Atterbury, a bishop and political figure who was involved in a failed Jacobite plot to overthrow the government. The book covers Pitt's rise to power, his leadership during the Seven Years' War, and his efforts to reform the British government.
