Abstract
THE Philosophical Society of England celebrated its silver jubilee on December 7 with a luncheon at St. Ermin's Restaurant, London, and a lecture by the Rev. I. Hart ill, a vice-president of the Society, on “John Milton”. Various speakers emphasized, the useful purpose of the Society, its steady development and its practical achievements. Messages were sent by the American Ambassador, Lord Gorell and Prof. A. E. Heath, who were unable to attend. This Society was founded in 1913 by a group of persons interested in the moral sciences, with the view of promoting the study of philosophy among the general public. The Society publishes the Philosopher, holds meetings and organizes lectures from time to time. Also it encourages the formation of local centres and study circles, and the introduction of matters of philosophical interest in schools and other educational institutions. Its vice-presidents include many distinguished philosophers, and a number of eminent scholars from abroad are among its honorary fellows.
