Scope and content

Claremont, Leeds. - Last year asked if Houghton might be able to deliver the Opening Address at the beginning of the new session of the Philosophical & Literary Society; Houghton looked favourably on the request, but in the end was not able to fulfil it. Heaton has been re-elected President of the Society, and asks if Houghton would be able to deliver the address this year, which 'would gratify a large number of members of the Society which has on its roll six hundred of the most educated and influential inhabitants of Leeds'.
