Pur sue, calculated to further the improvement and happiness of mankind, has somewhere in Great Britain, or on the Continent, called forth an Associatibn Of congenial spirits for its promotion.
There is also another class of institutions, commenced within a few years past, whose Object is to diffuse, among all classes of the community, the results of the Literary and Scientific researches of individuals, as well as Of public bodies.
