Inhoud:

This book provides the first account of the rise of these most distinctive, widespread, and powerful of social institutions in Georgian Britain: the British clubs and societies. The author describes their complex mosaic, ranging from freemasonry to bird-fancying, and examines the reasons for their successful development, and continuing influence.
