Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Robert Raikes: His Work for Education and Social Betterment
The purpose of this thesis is purely historic, and in no way is it evaluative. I have tried to give a clear picture of the times in which Raikes lived of the con ditions (living, working, intellectual) of the people, of the church and its attitudes, and of government, and.tren to show how Raikes fitted into this scene and just what his contribution was. I have not tried toeastimate the iwpor tance of his work, either in the light of his own generation or of ours.
