Mapmaker:
 The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge
was
established in 1826 and was a 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.
