Anthony Ashley Cooper, 4th Earl of Shaftesbury
Anthony Ashley Cooper, 4th Earl of Shaftesbury (9 February 1711 – 27 May 1771) was a British peer and philanthropist, who served as one of the leading figures in the foundation of the colony of Georgia and as Lord Lieutenant of Dorset from 1734 until his death.
==Family legacy==
Shaftesbury's father, Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 3rd Earl of Shaftesbury, died in February, 1713 leaving him fatherless in infancy, as well as heir to the family titles and estates. He grew up learning about the achievements of his father and great-grandfather and revering his family history. In 1732, he published a new edition of his father's influential work, ''Characteristics of Men, Manners, Opinions, Times'', also known as ''Shaftesbury’s Characteristics''. The book was among the most influential of the British Enlightenment; historian Benjamin Rand described the 3rd Earl as the “greatest Stoic of modern times.”〔Fouke, Daniel C. ''Philosophy and Theology in a Burlesque Mode: John Toland and “The Way of Paradox.”'' New York: Humanity Books, 2007. Page 42.〕〔Rand, Benjamin. ''Anthony, Earl of Shaftesbury''. Indianapolis: Liberty Fund, 2000. Page xii.〕
Shaftesbury also commissioned a biography of his great-grandfather, and retained Benjamin Martyn for the project. He had become well acquainted with Martyn, Secretary to the Trustees for the Establishment of the Colony of Georgia in America when he became a member of that organization at its first annual meeting in 1733.〔Christie, William Dougal.

Two Volumes. London: Richard Bentley, 1836. See Preface.〕
