In 1739, the London Foundling Hospital opened its doors to take in
the abandoned children of the city. It was the culmination of
seventeen years of campaigning by Captain Thomas Coram, driven by
his horror at seeing children die in the streets. He was supported
in his endeavours by a royal charter and by William Hogarth and
George Frideric Handel. The Hospital would continue as both home
and school for over 215 years, raising thousands of children until
they could be apprenticed out. London's Forgotten Children is a
fascinating history of the first children's charity, charting the
rise of this incredible institution and examining the attitude
towards illegitimate children over the years. The story comes alive
with the voices of children who grew up in the Hospital, and the
concluding, fully updated, account of today's children's charity
Coram is an ongoing testament to the vision of its founder.
