That would be the same Lord Acton who said, "Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence rather than authority?" I wonder if he had Lee in mind when he said that?

There is another series of letters and correspondance between Lord Acton and Queen Elizabeth (I) circa 1650 I believe, but a different Lord Acton which very well documents the original founding father's interpretation and meaning of the Separation of Church and State. Stored in Cambridge and published Cambridge Press, I believe. A very good read if anybody can find it and post it. I've looked for 2 years and haven't refound it.
