text_original: It was this monumental piece of legislation which called forth from Lord Shaftesbury the declaration that " two millions of people of this country would bless the day when Mr. Cross was asked to be Secretary of State for the Home Department ". But the indefatigable Minister was determined to earn the gratitude not of two millions, but of twenty. From the regulation of the conditions of industry, he passed to the conditions of home life.
