In the preface to this three-volume work of 1886, Edwin Hodder
(1837 1904) writes that the seventh earl of Shaftesbury 'resisted
every appeal that was made to him to allow his biography to be
written'. In the end, he succumbed to the inevitable, and
co-operated with Hodder, a professional author, sharing with him
both his archives and his memories. Anthony Ashley-Cooper (1801 85)
was an evangelical Christian with a profound sense of the duty owed
by the aristocracy to their country and to the less fortunate. He
first came to prominence as the leader of the parliamentary
campaign for shorter working hours, which led to the Factory Act of
1833. Entering the House of Lords on his father's death, he
extended his activities, becoming the best-known philanthropist of
his age. Volume 2 covers the period from 1844 to 1855, including
the Irish Famine and the outbreak of the Crimean War."
