Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Royal Society of Literature of the United Kingdom: A Brief Account of Its Origin and Progress; Prepared, Under the Direction of the Council In October, 1820, in "accidental conversation," a "person" who can be identified as Thomas Burgess, then Bishop of St. Davids, afterwards of Salisbury, suggested to another the advantages which might be expected from the institution of a Society of Literature, somewhat resembling the French Academy of Belles Lettres. The suggestion was communicated to Sir Benjamin Bloomfield, and by him to King George the Fourth, who had but recently ascended the throne.
