Anthony Ashley Cooper, 7th Earl of Shaftesbury (1801-1885) was instrumental in restricting child labor through the Ten Hours Act (1833). He also sought to reform "lunatic asylums," established "ragged schools" for destitute children, and in 1875 succeeded in eliminating the use of underage "climbing boys" as chimney sweeps.
