Book Description
Excerpt from The History of the Speculative Society, 1764-1904 IT is sixty years since a History of the Speculative Society was published, and it has for a long time been felt that it would be of interest, not only to members, but to many who are not members, if that History were brought down to date. In 1864 the Society celebrated its centenary, and six years later a committee was appointed to consider the matter. In 1871 that committee reported that no new publication should then be undertaken, but that arrange ments might be made to collect information to be used when the proper time should come. The practical out come of this suggestion was the institution of the elaborate system of roll-books, minute-books, and report-books which is now in use, and which preserves a permanent record of all information of general interest concerning each 'member of the Society. For this system of records, which has furnished valuable material in compiling the present volume, the Society is mainly indebted to the secretary of that date, Mr. Charles J. Guthrie. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy.

Association and Enlightenment
Author: Mark C. Wallace
Publisher: Rutgers University Press
ISBN: 1684482682
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 195
Book Description
Social clubs as they existed in eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Scotland were varied: they could be convivial, sporting, or scholarly, or they could be a significant and dynamic social force, committed to improvement and national regeneration as well as to sociability. The essays in this volume examine the complex history of clubs and societies in Scotland from 1700 to 1830. Contributors address attitudes toward associations, their meeting places and rituals, their links with the growth of the professions and with literary culture, and the ways in which they were structured by both class and gender. By widening the context in which clubs and societies are set, the collection offers a new framework for understanding them, bringing together the inheritance of the Scottish past, the unique and cohesive polite culture of the Scottish Enlightenment, and the broader context of associational patterns common to Britain, Ireland, and beyond.
