        As the "Second British Empire" came into existence, there was 
still a British North America, however reduced.  More important, however, 
there was a consolidating Empire looking out at India.  The opportunities 
for privilege were so evident that people paid to work for the East India 
Company - they made so much moonlighting on the job.  But, perhaps that is 
not the sort of privilege to which you were referring.
