Well into the eighteenth century, the Puritan ideals of salvation were still exerting a wide sway over the purposes of the English people.1 The author is seeking in this treatise to trace the fundamental factors which, within a single century, transformed the popular aims for indi vidual salvation into the social ideals which began to touch all ranks during the nineteenth. Many of the factors affecting the transition have, of course, been at work throughout history. Here and there, persons filled with love and sympathy for their fellows have appeared.
