Excerpt from The Proceedings and Transactions of the Nova Scotian Institute of Science, 1915, Vol. 13 In tracing what led up to the foundation of the. Nova Scotian Institute of Natural Science, we must go back to the time when mechanics' institutes became popular and held their sway for a quarter of a century or more. The first Mechanics' Institute, properly so called, was organized in Glasgow by George Birkbeck in 1823, being followed in 1824 by that at London.
