十七、八年前，我最後一次會見我的母校康耐兒大學的史學大師布爾先生(George Lincoln Burr)。我們談到英國史學大師阿克頓(Lord Acton)一生準備要著作一部《自由之史》，沒有寫成他就死了。布爾先生那天談話很多，有一句話我至今沒有忘記。他說，「我年紀越大，越感覺到容忍(tolerance)比自由更重要」。
布爾先生死了十多年了，他這句話我越想越覺得是一句不可磨滅的格言。我自己也有「年紀越大，越覺得容忍比自由還更重要」的感想。有時我竟覺得容忍是一切自由的根本：沒有容忍，就沒有自由。

About this Title:
Acton never completed his projected History of Liberty. We do have however several collections of his writings such as this one which contains 2 chapters from this planned history - on liberty in antiquity and Christianity - and many book reviews where one can piece together Acton’s approach to the writing of such a history. This volume consists of articles reprinted from the following journals: The Quarterly Review, The English Historical Review, The Nineteenth Century, The Rambler, The Home and Foreign Review, The North British Review, The Bridgnorth Journal.
