English journalists wrote. And then it changed - provincial Philosophical Societies started blossoming across the United Kingdom. They offered an opportunity for people to meet and listen to

it in 1833. According to several reliable sources there was only one condition to become a member of the Philosophical Society ? applicants had to pass the entrance challenge by opening the
