"Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
This is the most widely quoted aphorism by "the magistrate of
history" Lord Acton. "The History of Freedom. And Other Essays"
contains two volumes of his numerous writings and gives an
excellent introduction into the thinking of this eminent thinker
who is considered to be one of the most learned Englishmen of his
time and who made the history of liberty his life's work. Indeed,
he considered political liberty the essential condition and
guardian of religious liberty. This volume also contains an
introduction by the editors, John Neville Figgis and Reginald Vere
Laurence as well as essays by American historian, civic reformer
and political activist Henry Charles Lea, British jurist, historian
and politician James Bryce and the Scottish theologian and
philosopher Robert Flint.
