By LORD ACTON. THE HISTORY OF FREEDOM AND OTHER ESSAYS Edited, with an Introduction, by JOHN NEVILLE FIGGIS, Litt.D., and REGINALD VERE LAURENCE, M.A. With Portrait. 8vo. 12S. 6d net. HISTORICAL ESSA YS AND STUDIES Edited by JOHN NEVILLE FIGGIS, Litt.D., and REGINALD VERE Lt\URENCE, M.A. 8vo. 12S. 6d. net. GUARDIAN.-" The publication of the literary remains of Lord Acton is gradually showing the world his true greatness as an historian, and for this we owe our warmest thanks to Mr. Figgis and Mr. Laurence. The two volumes before us reveal better than any thing that has yet been published the extent of Lord Acton's know ledge and the force of his mind.... Powerful and closely reasoned essays and lectures, which bear on every page the stamp of learning and judgment and righteousness, which are worthy of a great scholar and a good man." TIMES.-" These volumes must be regarded, not as the support of an existing reputation, or as a bid for the establishment of post humous renown, but as the record and memorial of a rare and attractive personality. The accurate, insatiable, and broad-minded student is revealed; the generous champion of a noble cause which has suffered temporary defeat is seen on the field of his eager en deavour in controversy with Popes and Cardinals for the sake of freedom and truth; and the principles which he brought to· the study of history or elicited from his observation of men and affairs through out the centuries are set forth for all to read. The resulting picture of the great student, the partisan striving for impartiality, is admirably put together in a sympathetic and lucid introduction supplied by the editors."
ATHEN£UM.-"We have said enough to indicate the varied attractions of this volume. It shows us, indeed, the great scholar at his best, in his wide knowledge, sound judgment, and intense but restrained moral fervour. It is a book which does more than add to our information: it strengthens and inspires." MACMILLAN AND CO., LTD., LONDON.
By LORD ACTON. LECTURES ON THE FRENCH REVOLUTION EDITED BY JOHN NEVILLE FIGGIS, LITT.D. AND REGINALD VERE LAURENCE, M.A. 8vo. 125. 6d. net. NATIOM-" The first thought which must occur to all students of this period in the perusal of these pages is the power of the author to throw a new and vivid light on events which have been described almost ad nauseam. The well-known out lines are here, but they are lit up by surveys and searchlights ot startling variety. . . . The narrative is informed by wide and deep learning; and here and there it is lit up by flashes of insight which reveal Acton's wide acquaintance with men and affairs." DAIL Y NE WS.-" Constitutes perhaps the most impressive legacy of the great scholar. No· brief review can convey an adequate idea of the strength, the eloquence, the boundless knowledge, the sureness of touch, the piercing insight of this wonderful book."
