Examines the outrage against - and attempts to end - the four vices associated with the aristocracy in 18th century in England: duelling, suicide, adultery, and gambling. This book also shows how a century of public attacks on aristocratic vices promoted a sense of "class superiority" among the soon-to-emerge British middle class.
