Oct 23, 2011 at 20:51 comment added Todd Trimble I think it's magical enough, and it has powerful generalizations, as in Gabriel-Ulmer duality, and the theory of locally presentable categories.
Aug 30, 2011 at 16:57 comment added Gerhard Paseman OK. Omitting some technical detail, here are a few examples of such classes: commutative semigroups, groups of exponent 7, some classes of near-rings, the modules over a given fixed ring R, join-meet lattices, algebras with a single ternary operation representing majority, the one-element algebras of many classes, Heyting algebras, ... (and, yes, groups) . A text I like to recommend for more examples and information is "Algebras, Lattices, Varieties" by R. McKenzie, G. McNulty, and W. Taylor.
