Ideas and Concepts:
From the things-I-didn't-know-existed department, via this evening's Sexing the Canvas class:
"The Society for the Reformation of Manners was founded in London in 1691. Its espoused aims were the suppression of profanity, immorality, and other lewd activities in general. The Society was arranged in four tiers, with the "Society of Original Gentlemen" at the top. These eminent professionals, e.g. lawyers, and judges, provided the expertise and financing to enable prosecutions to proceed.
The next tier was the "Second Society" which consisted mainly of tradesmen, and whose role it was to suppress vice. Among other methods, the "Second Society" employed a blacklist which they published annually to shame the alleged offenders.
Below the tradesmen was the "Association of Constables" who took a more active role in arresting the miscreants who offended the public morality.
Finally the fourth layer consisted of informers:a network of "moral guardians" throughout the City of London, with two stewards in each parish, to gather information about moral infractions. The central committee of "Original Gentlemen" collected the information with a view to passing the information to the local magistrates, so the malefactors could be prosecuted and punished."
