_New Literary Institution, in 1825._
At this period, active measures were adopted in London for forming a
“_Western Literary and Scientific Institution_,” for persons engaged in
commercial and professional pursuits; its objects being 1. The
establishment of a library of reference and circulation, and rooms for
reading and conversation. 2. The formation of the members into classes,
to assist them in the acquisition of ancient and modern languages. 3.
The delivery of lectures in literature and science. This is an
undertaking fraught with advantages, especially to young men whose
situations do not permit them convenient access to means of instruction
within the reach of their employers, many of whom may be likewise
bettered by its maturity. The mechanics had an excellent “institution,”
while persons, who, engaged in promoting general business, and meriting
equal regard, remained without the benefit which growing intelligence
offers to all who have industry and inclination sufficient to devise
methods for reaching it. Other institutions have arisen, and are rapidly
arising, for equally praiseworthy purposes.
