Geschiedenis
The Cogers' Society was founded in 1756 'for discussing questions of public interest' and met for many years at Cogers' Hall, Bride Lane, which was demolished in the 1890s. Members were usually young barristers or politicians eager to gain practice in public speaking. Since the 1890s the Society has met in various taverns in and around the City. The name comes from the Latin 'cogito'.
