Besant describing the middle class of the 9th century wrote " In the first place it was for more a class apart. "In no sense did it belong to society. Men in professions of any kind (except in the Army and Navy) could only belong to society by right of birth and family connections; men in trade—bankers were still accounted tradesmen—could not possibly belong to society. That is to say, if they went to live in the country they were not called upon by the county families and in the town they were not admitted by the men into their clubs, or by ladies into their houses… The middle class knew its own place, respected itself, made its own society for itself, and cheerfully accorded to rank the deference due."



Since then, however, the life of the middle classes had undergone great changes as their numbers had swelled and their influence had increased.



Their already well –developed consciousness of their own importance had deepened. More critical than they had been in the past of certain aspects of aristocratic life, they wee also more concerned with the plight of the poor and the importance of their own values of society, thrift, hand work, piety and respectability thrift, hand work, piety and respectability as examples of ideal behavior for the guidance of the lower orders. Above all they were respectable. There were divergences of opinion as to what exactly was respectable and what was not. There were, nevertheless, certain conventions, which were universally recognized: wild and drunker behaviors were certainly not respectable, nor were godlessness or avert promiscuity, not an ill-ordered home life, unconventional manners, self-indulgence or flamboyant clothes and personal adornments.

Precise:
From the start man related to any field was categorized on the basis of status.Explaining the bourgeoisie of 9th century Besant said that this class has its own values, merits and demerits.by the uncivil and disregard behavior of upper class bourgeoisie made their own caliber of honor and didn’t allow upper class to join them. Nevertheless due to rise in their number from past they knew their position in society.By high class swanky behavior they acted as a role model for lower class. They made their own criterion for respect,however,lunatic and extravagant behavior are not respectable.

society is produced by our wants and government by our wickedness

Expansion:

Scholars of political science have defined society as a human organization in which a number of persons group themselves together for some particular purpose. Thus, a crowd is not a society for its members have no common purpose. Man comes into this world with certain instincts which are necessary for his survival,he feels the wants for food and shelter self-protection.for which he joins others to form a group. in this way societies originated. As a member of a group, the individual could easily protect himself from his enemies as also from the hostile forces of nature. With the passing of time these earliest societies became more and more elaborate, till they assumed their modern complex form.But the formation of society was not enough by itself. Wicked persons tried to harm other members of the group and interfered with the satisfaction of their wants. Some individual had, therefore, to be appointed to restrain such evil minded persons. He was the head of the group whom they all obeyed. He not only maintained order internally, but also arranged for the protection of the group from the attack of some other similar groups. Such were the beginnings of government. the formation of society and government makes it clear that society arose to satisfy human wants and the government originated out of human wickedness. But society has other functions, too, besides satisfying human wants. Man is a social animal and he can never be happy without the company of his fellow beings. Society is essential for his happiness the government might originate out of human wickedness, but it is not as evil as the anarchists would have us believe. So long as all human beings are not angels, government of some form or the other is essential. We cannot do without a government.

By the way good going Fearer, we can learn a lot from you.

Its probably gamboling, as opposed to gambling.

Froze is correct
Forego is to precede, forgo is correct meaning to give up
gambol is correct, meaning to graze
guild, meaning union; gild means to cover with gold
hadn't ought is wrong, its .. ought not to
Hey, not hay (which is grass)
historic (famous) not historical(related to history)
Japanese not Japanee
smell sweet, not smell sweetly
