§ I. Objects. 
1. The Victoria Institute, or Philosophical Society op 
Great Britain, is established for the purpose of pro- 
moting the following objects, viz. : — 
First. To investigate fully and impartially the most important 
questions of Philosophy and Science, but more especially 
those that bear upon the great truths revealed in Holy 
Scripture ; with the view of reconciling any apparent 
discrepancies between Christianity and Science. 
Second. To associate together men of Science and authors who 
have already been engaged in such investigations, and all 
others who may be interested in them, in order to strengthen 
their efforts by association ; and, by bringing together the 
results of such labours, after full discussion, in the printed 
transactions of an Institution : to give greater force and 
influence to proofs and arguments which might be little 
known, or even disregarded, if put forward merely by 
individuals.
