HISTORY
John Emerich Edward Dalberg-Acton (1834-1902) owed his eminence as a historian in large measure to a book he never wrote. He projected a definitive History of Liberty but allowed his insatiable quest for primary sources to obstruct the execution of his magnum opus. His essays and aphorisms, however, have exerted an influence out of all proportion to their volume. Professor McNeill has selected those with the greatest significance for present-day readers.
