The article reads, "Lord Derby was a man of deep religious feeling and of great nobility of character". Says who? This either needs to be backed up by a relevant citation, or removed. Whether someone is noble or not is a matter of opinion, so it should either be changed to read along the lines of "(relevant source) describes him as having great nobility of character" or removed.
