The Late Earl of Shaftesbury

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  19 February 2018

Extract

It is a remarkable circumstance that the obituary notices of the Earl of Shaftesbury which have appeared in the daily papers make very slight reference to his lordship's great services to the insane. Nothing more forcibly indicates the wide extent of his philanthropic work than that, after enumerating various movements in which the Earl took a prominent part, little room—only some half-dozen lines-should be left for what still remains one of the most important of the interests which occupied his active life, and that which obviously calls from us more especial attention and notice, a tribute, indeed, of sincerest respect and gratitude.
