Aberdeen Mechanics' Institute - Astronomical lectures
The following article, extracted from the Aberdeen Journal, shows the popularity of the Mechanics Institute and its courses:

"There is not a more efficient educational institution in the city, with the same limited means, than the Mechanics' Institute; and to extand and enlarge its means is the object of these lectures. We can assure those who have not yet visited Morison's Hall, that nowhere will they find so much amusement blended with so great an amount of useful instruction, so much to delight the eye and ravish the ear, with so much to enlighten the understanding and improve the heart".

Aberdeen Journal, May 10, 1837.
