 Professor Lord Acton: Introduction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Professor Chadwick has long commanded an easy familiarity with the considerable published writings of Acton; he has mastered vast quantities of the even more extensive Acton archives, held principally by Cambridge; he has known those who knew Acton; and, like Acton, he himself, from 1968 to 1983, was Regius Professor of Modern History.
In reading Professor Chadwick on Acton's role at the Council one experiences anew that extraordinary episode in which a Catholic layman exerted herculean effort to galvanize hierarchy and statesmen against a dogmatic pronouncement he and Döllinger knew to be unsound historically.
Professor Chadwick has honored this commemorative occasion by preparing a carefully researched essay on Acton and his career at Cambridge, which is at the same time a synthesis of his work on Acton over many years.
