Baby-Farming (Classic Reprint)
(Excerpt from Baby-Farming There is a belief that an Act ...)
Excerpt from Baby-Farming There is a belief that an Act of Parliament already exists for the proper regulation of these people, the Infant Life Protection Act, 1872. Few Acts are more profoundly misunderstood. It is a pom pous introduction to next to nothing. Excluding all infant lives from its protection, except when two under a year old happen to be found together, it leaves to the farmer's mercies a hundred times as many as it even proposes to protect. Its main effect is to teach farmers how to escape its provisions and to conduct their business as they like. The man who would have any adequate notion of the nature and extent of English baby-farming, and of the baby sufferings, illnesses, and death produced by the misconduct practised in it, had better not resort to the history of the Infant Life Protection Act. The chief crime made by it, namely, Unlawfully neglect to register, cannot be committed by ninety-nine out of a hundred who take in babies for a living, and it is a crime which has, moreover, nothing to do with the horrible iniquities of the system.

The Children's Sunday Hour Sermons.
(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Benjamin Waugh
The Reverend Benjamin Waugh was a Victorian social reformer and campaigner who founded the United Kingdom charity, the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children in the late 19th century, and also wrote various hymns.
Career
Working as a Congregationalist minister in the slums of Greenwich, Waugh became appalled at the deprivations and cruelties suffered by children. He also served on the London School Board from 1870 to 1876. He was also, from 1874 to 1896, editor of a religious periodical, The Sunday Magazine, in which he published several of his own hymns, among which is "Now let us see thy beauty, Lord", which has appeared in several editions of the Methodist Hymn Book, in Congregational Praise and in the Australian Hymnbook, though not in its successor, Sing Alleluia.
In 1884, he founded the London Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (echoing a similar initiative in Liverpool), launched at London"s Mansion House on 8 July.
The London body"s first chairman was veteran social reformer Earl Shaftesbury. lieutenant evolved to become the NSPCC some five years later (14 May 1889), with Waugh as its first director and Queen Victoria as its first patron.
Waugh lived in a house in Croom"s Hill, Greenwich, and at 53 Woodlands Villas (today Vanbrugh Park) in the nearby Blackheath Standard area. He later retired, in 1905, to Westcliff in Southend, Essex, where he died three years later.
A Greater London Council blue plaque marks Waugh"s residence at Croom"s Hill.
