    • Abstract:
      The article, part two of an article series on the social structure of England, discusses the history of the middle classes in England. It comments on the so-called "new rich" and their relations with the landed gentry and nobility, examining education at Grammar Schools and Public Schools. The author considers the status of several professions, including dissenting ministers, teachers, intellectuals, shopkeepers, and farmers. Other topics include salary-earners and profit-makers in the lower middle class, women's clerical work, and the relative shrinkage of the upper class.
