Jonas Hanway
First published in 1766, this tract by the philanthropist Jonas Hanway (c.1712–86) was an indictment of the English care system, specifically regarding children's mortality rates in London. Building on the 1762 act for the registration of poor infants, it called for further reform to improve their fate.
