SDUK was founded in 1826 at the urging of Lord Brougham, who became Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain. The Society also published the Library of Useful Knowledge, which was a series of accessible scientific books published biweekly. The SDUK aimed to provide working-class people with access to knowledge at an affordable price. The river map in the AGSL collections was included in their world atlas. LPM.Color1:22,000,00
