An English cardinal, born at Naples, 6 March 1803, died at Naples 23 June 1847. He was the second

son of Sir John Francis Acton, Bart., the family a cadet branch of the Actons of Aldenham Hall, near Bridgnorth, in Shropshire had settled in Naples some time before his birth. His father was engaged in Neapolitan trade when he succeeded to the family estate and title through th death of his cousin, Sir Richard acton, Bart. The Cardinal's education was English, as he and his elder brother were sent to England on their father's death in 1811, to a scholl near London kept by the Abbe Aueque, they were then sent to Westminister School, with the understanding that their religion ws not to be interfered with. Yet, they not only were sent to this Protestant school, but they had a Protestant clergyman as tutor, In 1819 they went to Magdalen College, Cambridge, where they finished their education. After this strange schooling for a future cardinal, Charles went to Rome when he was twenty and entered the Academia Ecclesiastica, where ecclesiastics intending to be candidates for public offices recieve a special training. An essay of his attracted the attention of the Seceretary of State, della Somaglia, and Leo XII made hikm a chamberlain and attache to the Paris Nunciature, where he had the best opportunity to beomce acquainted with diplomacy. Pius VIII recalled him and named him vice-legate granting him choice of any of the four legations over which cardinals presided. He chose Bologna, as affording most opportunity for improvement. He left there at the end of Pius VIII's brief pontificate, and went to England, in 1829, to marry his sister to Sir Richard Throckmorton. Gregory XVI made him assistant judge in the Civil Court of Rome. In 1837 he was made Auditor to the Apostolic Chamber, the highes tRoman dignity after the cardinalate. Probably this was the first time it was wven offered to a foreigner. Acton declined it, but was commanded to retain it. He was proclaimed Cardinal-Priest, with the title of Santa Maria della Pace, in 1842; having been created nearly three years previously. His strength, never very great, began to decline, and a severe attack of ague made him seek rest and recuperation, first at Palermo and then at Naples. But to no avail, for he died in the latter city. His sterling worth was little known through his modesty and humility. In his youth his musical talent and geniality which suppplied much innocent gaiety, but the pressure of serious responsibilities and the adoption of a spiritual life somewhat subdued its exercise.

His judgement and legal ability were such that advocates of the first rank said that could they know his view of a case they could tell how it would be decided. When he communicated anything in writing, Pope Gregory used to say he never had occasion to read it more than once. He was selected as interpreter in the interview which the Pope had with the Czar of Russia. The Cardinal never said anything about this except that when he had interpreted the Pope's first sentence the Czar said: "It will be agreeable to me, if your Eminence will act as my interpreter, also." After the conference Cardinal Acton, by request of the Pope, wrote out a minute account of it: but he never permitted it to be seen. The King of Naples urged him earnestly to become Archbishop of Naples, but he inexorably refused. His cahrities were unbounded. He once wrot from naples that he actually tasted the distress which he sought to solace. He may be said to have departed this life in all the wealth of a willing poverty.

JOHN EMERICH EDWARD DALBERG ACTON, BARON ACTON
Baron Acton, Professor of Modern History at Cambridge, 1895 - 1902, born at Naples, 10 January 1834. Where his father, Sir Richard Acton, held and important diplomatic appointment, died at Tegernesee, Bavaria, 19 June 1902.

His mother was the heiress of a distinguished Bavarian family, the Dalbergs. The Actons, though of an old English Catholic stock, had long been naturalised in Naples, where Lord Acton's grandfather had been prime minister. The furture historian was thus in an extraordinary degree cosmopolitan, and much of his exceptional mastery of historical literature may be ascribed to the fact that the principal languages of Europe were as familiar to him as his native tongue. In 1843 the boy was sent to Oscott College, Birmingham, were Doctor, afterwards Cardinal, Nicholas Wiseman was then president. After five years spent at Oscott, Acton completed his education at Munich, as the pupil of the celebrated historian Dollinger. With Dollinger he visited France, and both there and in Germany lived on terms of intimacy with the most eminent historical scholars of the day. Returning to England, however, in 1859, to settle upon the family estate of Aldenham in Shropshire, he entered parliament as member for an Irish constituency, and retained his seat for six years, voting with the Liberals, but taking little part in the debates. In the meantime he devoted himself to literary work, and upon Newman's retirement, in 1859, succeeded him in the editorship of a Catholic periodical called "The Rambler", which after 1862, was transformed into a quarterly under the title of "The Home and Foreign Review". The ultra liberal tone of this journal gave offence to ecclesiastical authorities and Acton eventually judged it necessry to discontinue its publication, in April 1864, when he wrote, concerning certain tenets of his which had been disapproved of, that "the principles had not ceased to be true, nor the authority which censured them to be legitmate, because the two were in contradiction". The publication of the "Syllabus" by Pius IX in 1864 tended to alienate Acton further from Ultramontane counsels. He had in the meantime

become very intimate with Mr. Gladstone, by whom he was recommended for a peerage in 1869, and at the time of the Vatican Council Lord Acton went to Rome with the express object of organizing a party of resistance to the proposed definition of papal infallibility. The Decree, when it came, seems to have had the effect of permanently embittering Acton's feelings towards roman authority, but he did not, like his friend Dollinger, formally sever his connection with the Church. Indeed in his later years at Cambridge he regularly attended Mass, and he received the last sacraments, at Tegernsee, on his death-bed. The Cambridge Professorship of Modern History was offered to him by Lord Roseberry in 1895 and, besides the lectures which he delivered there, he conceived and parly organized the "Cambridge Modern History", the first volume of which was only to see the light after his death. Lord Acton never produced anything which deserves to be called a book, but he wrote a good many reviews and occasionally an article or a lecture. As an historian he was probably more remarkable for knowledge of detail than for judgment or intuition. The "Letter Quirinus", published in the Allgemeine Zeitung, at the time of the Vatican Council, and attributed to Lord Acton, as well as other letters addressed to "Times", in November, 1874, show a mind much warped against the Roman system. The "Letters to Mrs. Drew" (Mr. Gladstone's daughter), which we printed by Mr. Herbert Paul in 1903, are brilliant but often bitter. A pleasanter impression is given by another collection of Lord Acton's private letters (published 1906) under the editorship of Abbot Gasquet. Some of Acton's best work was contributed to the "English Historcial Review". His article on "German Schools of History", in the first volume, oand on "Dollinger's Historical Work" the fifth, deserve particular mention.

ACTON, John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton, 1st Baron
1834 - 1902, English historian, born Naples: grandson of Sir John Francis Edward Acton and of Emmerich Joseph, duc du Dalberg. Denied entrance in Cambridge because of his Roman Catholicism, he travelled to Munich, where he studied with Fr. Johann Joseph Ignaz von Dollinger. Acton became (1859) a Liberal member of Parliament and editor the Rambler, a Roman Catholic monthly. William E Gladestone, his close friend, nominated him to the peerage (1869), and in 1892, Acton was made lord-in-waiting. Acton's genuine and ardent liberalism gave frequent offense to Roman Catholic authorities. His hatred of arbitrary power and all forms of absolutism led him to oppose the syllabus of errors issued by Pius IX and the promulgation of the dogma of papal infaiilibilty, but he accepted them after their pronouncement rather than risk excommunication.
In 1895 Acton was appointed Professor of Modern History at Cambridge and in the following years planned the Cambridge Moder History, of which only the first volume appeared before his death. Acton never completed a book. Rather, his influence was felt through his lectures, his writing for periodicals, and his personal contacts with leading historians of his time. Many articles, essays, and lectures were brought together after his death in Lectures on Modern History (1906), History of Freedom (1907) and Historical Essays and Power (1948) and Essays on Church and State (1952). His impressive personal library, consisting of more than 59,000 volumes, was bought by Andrew Carnegie after his death and donated to Cambridge.

LORD ACTON
With extrordinary knowledge of intellectual history and political history, Lord Acton (1834-1902) wrote insightful, inspiring essays about the history of liberty. Standouts include "Nationality" (1862), "The History of Freedom in Antiquity" (1877) and "The History of Freedom in Christianity" (1877). He championed the view that moral standards must be applied to rulers at least as mauch as, if not more than, they are applied to everybody else. His most famous line occurred in an 1887 letter, "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely".
Acton referred to liberty as "the palm, and the prize, and the crown" and, speaking to historians, he said "I exhort you never to debase the nmral currency or to lower the standard of rectitude, but to try others by the final maxim that governs you own lives, and to suffer no man and no cause to escape the undying penalty which history has the power to inflict on wrong." His essays are alitter with gems like these.
Born in Naples with an English father and Bavarian mother, he embraced a cosmoplitan view of the world. He spole German with his wife, Italian with his mother-in-law, French with his sister-in-law, English with his children and perhaps another European language with a visitor. He pored through Europe's greatest historical archives, and his three personal librabies exceeded 60,000 books and manuscripts. One can learn a great deal and gain much pleasure from his work
