Transcribed from the 5 February 1824 edition of The Enniskillen Chronicle & Erne Packet newspaper, by permission of The British Library: Hibernian Society.--On Wednesday night a meeting was held in the Music Hall, Liverpool, for considering the propriety of establishing in this town, a Branch Society of the London Hibernian Society for the education of the Irish. The room was filled to excess by a very respectable company. The Hon. Mr. Stanley being called to the chair, he addressed the meeting in a very eloquent speech. He stated that the Society of which they proposed that evening to form a branch, had been established seventeen years, and had worked its way in spite of the opposition of ignorance, bigotry, and superstition. Several gentlemen addressed the meeting, in proposing a series of resolutions, which were all unanimously passed. These resolutions proposed scriptural education, and the propagation of the scriptures, in the sister kingdom, as the great antidote for the miseries with which that country was distracted. It appears that up to the present time the parent Society has established 350 schools, which are attended by 70,000 children and adults. The thanks to the chairman, at the conclusion of the meeting, were proposed and carried with acclamation. The Honourable Mr. Stanley returned thanks in a very feeling and eloquent address, in which he powerfully appealed to the audience for their zealous and effectual support to this Institution. The meeting, which lasted two hours and a half, separated about a quarter before ten. ======================
