Belfast Literary Society

The Belfast Literary Society was founded in 1801 and survives as the second oldest learned society in Belfast (the Belfast Reading Society, now the Linen Hall Library, predates it by just over a decade). Its first meeting was held in the long demolished Exchange Rooms in Belfast on 23 October.
