	Honour and the Search for Influence: A History of the Royal Society of Canada by William Westfall (Site not responding. Last check: )
		From its inception, the Royal Society was caught up in celebration and public promotion, honouring the cultural production of its members, while searching for a way to convince others (and especially those in government) that intellectuals could play a significant role in the process of state formation.
		Officially they drew their inspiration from the Royal Society of London and the Institut français; but at a more plebeian level they were deeply indebted to all those other conservative Victorians – the clergy, the physicians, and the lawyers – who had banded together to protect and advance their own professional interests.
		In effect, the life of the mind in Canada was to be nurtured by a society that was selective, self-perpetuating, and dependent on the authority and the financial wherewithal of the party in power.
