Asked by Mike
Here are some more sentences I'm still doubtful about. Thank you very much!
1)Industry dealers, who had settle school lessons dedicated to workers' sons, didn't follow the law.
2) (Correction: Factory owners, who were forced by law to teach their apprentices, often ignored/failed their duty).
3) Sporting achievements were considered more important than scholarly ones.
4) Education was founded (better: based on) on utilitarian values, such as hard work and physical and sporting endeavour.
5) Romanticism focused on a new sensibility, which comprised elements of introspection, nostalgia and individualism.
6) Nature ceased to be considered as an abstract entity but as a real living force.
7) Queen Victoria reigned/ruled England for over half a century. During the Victorian Age the British Empire thrived/flourished (enjoyed the period of most prosperity?).
8)Philanthropy addressed itself (was addressed?) to all kind of poverty. Victorian values were applicable to all strata of society.
