WHAT ACTON SAID
Sir,-I wish to draw your attention to an error in the review by David Hall of the book Acton: the Formative Years, which appeared in The Listener of August 30. In the first paragraph, eight lines down, we read: "All power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely." Thijs should be "Power tends. to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts
absolutely,"
A. S.
MEW
(Dunedin).
