jan 1, 1863 - Charles Kingsley 'The Water-Babies' (novel) is published.

Description:

In 1863 the publication of 'The Water-Babies', a novel by Charles Kingsley, did much to raise public awareness about the gross mistreatment of children in this kind of employment through its central character, Tom, a child chimney sweep. Parliament responded the following year with a new Chimney Sweepers Regulation Act. This was ineffective despite its humane purpose.

Written in 1862-1863 as a serial for Macmillan's Magazine, it was first published in its entirety in 1863.
