Summary

I acknowledge with gratitude two obligations incurred in regard to this book: first, to Margaret Shepherd and Renee Vroom, for their patience, care and expedition in typing it; and secondly to the editors of L'età dei lumi: Studi storici sul Settecento europeo in onore di Franco Venturi (Naples 1985), who graciously permitted me to borrow some paragraphs from my contribution to that Festschrift, for use in Chapter v.

Chapter 11 is a revision and expansion of a James Ford Special Lecture, delivered in Oxford in 1973, and represents my second thoughts on some of the questions with which it is concerned.
