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 shared
with Hodder, a professional author, 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 3 begins
by considering Shaftesbury's religious views, and continues to
describe his energetic and practical charitable activities until
his death."
