Leeds Friends Essay and Illustration Society.
The Leeds Friends Essay and Illustration Society was formed in 1878. It met during October to May each year, with organised talks, readings and social events taking place in members' homes. Each member was to contribute an essay or 'illustration', or take a leading part in a debate, during each session. The society was still active and well attended in 1908, but there are no surviving minutes after this date. At some point between 1908 and 1925, when its successor, the Leeds Fifty Club, was founded, the society closed.
