Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge


 

The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge was founded in 1828 in London, mainly at the instigation of Lord Brougham with the objects of publishing information to people who were unable to obtain formal teaching, or who preferred self-education. The aspiring working class and the middle class were its targets. It was sometimes mentioned in contemporary sources as SDUK.
