This article presents information on book "Lord Shafttesbury," by J.L. Hammond and Barbara Hammond. In this two-volume biographies it is as comforting as surprising to find the story of one of the longest lived and most useful of Victorians adequately told in a book of 276 pages. It is even more surprising to find how clear an impression is given of the subject's personality with only the briefest record of his home and private life as boy or man. Lord Shaftesbury was the devout Christian aristocrat in politics. To the iron laws of the early Victorian economists by which children were made the slaves of the machine almost as soon as they could walk alone he opposed the law of his God, which was a law of mercy and of pity.
