"Lord Acton has left too little completed original work to rank among the great historians; his very learning seems to have stood in his way; he knew too much and his literary conscience was too acute for him to write easily, and his copiousness of information overloads his literary style. But he was one of the most deeply learned men of his time, and he will certainly be remembered for his influence on others." -Hugh Chisholm, editor of the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica. This Collection contains the following literary works of marvel:1. Acton-Creighton Correspondence2. Lectures on the French Revolution3. Letters of Lord Acton to Mary, Daughter of the Right Hon. W.E. Gladstone4. Modern History5. The History of Freedom and Other Essays6. HISTORICAL ESSAYS AND STUDIES
