The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge (SDUK) was founded in London in 1826, mainly at the instigation of Whig MP Henry Brougham, with the object of publishing information to people who were unable to obtain formal teaching or who preferred self-education. It was a largely Whig organisation, and published inexpensive texts intended to adapt scientific and similarly high-minded material for the rapidly expanding reading public over twenty years until it was disbanded in 1846.
The three associates collectively known as J & C Walker were John Walker (fl. 1813-1873), Alexander Walker (1797?-1870) and Charles Walker (1799?-1872). John, Alexander and Charles Walker were the sons of John Walker Senior who had been Hydrographer to the East India Company and to the Admiralty.
Beautiful example of Poland in excellent condition. Pricing and grading commensurate.
