342pp. Laminated printed light card covers. In as new condition throughout. 8vo. Volume 2 covers the period between September 1859 - June 1862 when Acton was editor of the Rambler until its transformation into the Home and Foreign Review. Lord Acton (1834-1902) and Richard Simpson (1820-76) were the principal figures in the Liberal Catholic movement of nineteenth-century England, an ultimately unsuccessful effort to reconcile the Roman Catholic Church with the leading secular thought of the day. They collaborated in editing the Rambler (1858-62) and the Home and Foreign Review (1862-4), two of the most distinguished Catholic periodicals of the period. The correspondence is the record of this collaboration and sheds light on the religious, political and intellectual history of mid-nineteenth-century England.
