The fundamental motive of such leaguing together is apparent, for, by the establishment of societies, it becomes possible for the working members of these to hold exhibitions and thereby to obtain some compensation or reward for their labours.
In the furtherance of a cult the Japan Society, devoted to the encouragement of the study of the arts and industries of Japan, is a typical example; and the Society of Mezzotint Engravers is representative of those bodies formed in the interests of particular groups of workers.

It was also suggested that the Society should compile "a list of ancient buildings in the City which for their architectural, historical or other values were worthy of preservation-a list which might be helpful to the City authorities in preventing further destruction of or damage to any of the City's treasured possessions".
At the beginning of 1939 while the Kyrle Society was again making an attempt to solve the problem of neglected, derelict squares and open spaces in the City, ominous political clouds once more gathered over Europe, and on the third day of September Britain was at war for the second time in twenty-five years.
