Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. The Seventh Earl: A Dramatized Biography; by Grace Irwin; McClelland ans Stewart Limited, Toronto, 1976. Review notice stapled onto the first free endpaper. From the blurb The figure of Anthony Ashley Cooper, Seventh Earl of Shaftesbury, cuts a remarkable swathe across the history of 19th-century Britain. Far ahead of his own time, he labored unceasingly for social reform, not out of a sense of commitment to a cause, but out of a profound Christian concern for the poor and friendless. His story is especially poignant because his solicitude for others often made him an object of ridicule, and his determination to act in accordance with his convictions accounted at least in part for the lifelong financial difficulties with which he struggled. He is most widely remembered as a philanthropist and factory reformer, who was famous for his Ten Hour Law, who took an interest in missionary work, and who came to the aid of Florence Nightingale in her schemes for army welfare. Convinced that a biographical novel can be both lively and historically accurate, Grace Irwin has woven together this account f the Earl's life from a wide variety of materials: diaries, letters, clippings, and legal documents. This book, 259 pages, is in fine condition in a very-good dust jacket that is now in a protective mylar wrap. Seller Inventory # 23104b
