Newcastle upon Tyne, held on Tuesday, Sept. 15. 1829; to which are 
appended the provisional laws directed by the Meeting to be prepared by 
the Committee, and to continue in force until the Anniversary, and a list

lately published. Theory would lead us to infer that literature and science

of society which have leisure and education ; but, practically, it is otherwise. 
Cathedral cities and watering-places are remarkably deficient in the institu~ 
tions which favour their progress, while commercial places have displayed 
an eminent zeal on the subject. Newcastle was among the first to establish

science for the northern portions of England. Liverpool is indebted to a 
Roscoe, for engrafting upon its commercial stock a taste for the Muses and 
for literature; and Newcastle upon Tyne owes no less a debt of gratitude 
to Mr. Turner and others, for giving a salutary direction to the scientific 
occupations of the citizens, and infusing a noble spirit among its enterpris-
