	Victorian London - Entertainment and Recreation - Museums, Public Buildings and Galleries - Royal Society of Literature
		Founded in 1823, "for the advancement of literature," and incorporated by royal charter, Sept. 13th, 1826.
		ROYAL SOCIETY OP LITERATURE, 4 St. Martin's Place, was founded in 1823 by the Bishop of Sarum.
		The object of this Society is the advancement of literature, by the publication of inedited remains of ancient literature, and of such works as may be of great intrinsic value, but not of that popular character which usually claims the attention of publishers.

	History of the RNS
		The Royal Society originally was concerned with all fields of study, and in the days of Newton, the astronomer and antiquary met at the same table, but eventually the historical and the natural sciences divided.
		Undoubtedly the Society's principal contribution to numismatics continued to be the provision of a forum for the exhibition of new material and the presentation and discussion of papers, and even more important the maintenance of a periodical for the publication and dissemination to a wider audience of these and other papers.
		The Society already in 1930 must have been thinking ahead to its centenary which fell due in 1936, and to the international numismatic congress to be held in London to mark the occasion, and it was probably Webb's administrative abilities that recommended his election.

	House of Commons - Culture, Media and Sport - Written Evidence
		The Council of the Royal Society of Literature has asked me to make a brief submission about the importance to literature of British public libraries, and the consequent necessity for injecting a substantial amount of money into the public library system.
		If literature is to be kept alive, we must make sure that the best writing is available to the maximum number of readers, whatever their income or purchasing power.
		This "centralising" effect is not good for literature, and public libraries, together with independent book-shops, remain our best hope of resisting this trend and keeping a wide selection of good books in front of a wide selection of readers.

	Part 1: 1836 - 1874::The Royal Numismatic Society
		In the sixteenth and early seventeenth century cabinets of coins, especially Roman, began to be formed by princes, prelates, and great nobles, and a good number of such collections were recorded in published catalogues, frequently with attached commentary.
		It was this latter society which had provided a forum and means of publication for earlier numismatists, through the part played by the Gentleman's Magazine over this period in reporting and recording new finds, and communicating details of interesting coins in private cabinets should not be forgotten.
		These volumes included shortened versions of the transactions of the Society, but, for the years 1836 to 1839 only, the Society published in addition extended versions of the transactions under the title Proceedings of the Numismatic Society.

	Tolkien as a writer for young adults - The Tolkien Society
		The making of the book was a series of accidents, and, once published, young people insisted on reading it despite the hostility of literary critics and some educationalists, and the then difficulty of obtaining all three instalments in the right order.
		As we now know, Tolkien re-awakened an appetite for fantasy literature among readers and inadvertently founded the genre of "adult fantasy." Since publication, those critics who enjoy Tolkien have striven to establish criteria by which Tolkien and other fantasists should be judged.
		Tolkien has been criticised for flat characterisation: but in genre literature the reader must identify with the main character (or his partner, e.g.

		On the other hand, he authored eight novels and numerous short stories, treating subjects as varied as scholarly fraud in Anglo-Saxon archaeology, the nonhuman milieu of the New Towns, the London zoo as futurist fable, a sweeping anti-Galsworthian survey of an English family, and a terrorist attempt to blow up Parliament.
		These novels are enriched by the secondary characters, often the keenly observed butts of satire, depicted with Dickensian laughter and censure.
