collective form in 1850 the volume be-

20 the name that has chung TO the laws

Conforming To the steuness Of the
Puritan character and the rigidity OF
his morals. these laws were rOck-ribDed
enactmeuts against every form OF social
vice and undertook TO regulate both the

The name blue Laws" however was
not applied 10 these codihed statutes
until copies OF the book found their way
10 England The English liberal thinkers
soon supplied the name. After the
restoration OF Charles II the word blue
was applied 10 rigid mOralists of every
kind, especially TO the early Presby-
rerianE.
