The Society
for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge (SDUK), founded in 1826, and wound up in
1848, was a Whiggish London organisation that published inexpensive texts
intended to adapt scientific and similarly high-minded material for the rapidly
expanding reading public. It was established 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.
