Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The World's Workers: The Seventh Earl of Shaftesbury
But his early training stood him in good stead. There was no wavering. He stood up like a man, read ing his Bible, saying his prayers, amidst all the ridicule of his schoolfellows. For five years he endured this life, even after his beloved Millis had died. Her example and precepts sustained him after she had gone. He received no assistance from his parents.
