Histórico
The Society's origins are obscure. It appears to have met annually, from the time of the Glorious Revolution, at a number of taverns in the City of London, to commemorate the ideal of civil, political and religious liberty it saw enshrined in the events of 1688. Reinvigorated by the approaching centenary of the Revolution, it campaigned for a national day of celebration to be held on 4 November, the birthday of William III. On the outbreak of the French Revolution in 1789, the Society corresponded enthusiastically with radical societies throughout France; this correspondence was published as The Correspondence of the Revolution Society in London, with the National Assembly and with various societies of the friends of liberty in France and England, 1792.
