Natuur- en Geneeskundige Correspondentie-Societeit in de Vereenigde Nederlanden Physical and Health Sciences Correspondence Society in the United Netherlands

Founding of the Society
Year	Authority / Notes
1779	According an entry on this Society in the Encyclopedie van Nederlandstalige Tijdschriften (ENT) the Society was founded in 1779 in the Hague as the Natuur- en Geneeskundige Correspondentie Sociëteit. Around 2010 we also located some information in Arts en weer. The following information was found in that resource. The Frisian teacher Jan Hendrik van Swinden (1746-1823), who also occupied himself with making meterological observations, played a large role in this Society. The ideas about the relationship between weather and illness propounded by Herman Boerhaave (1668-1738) took on new life through this Society, and for nearly fifteen years weather observations in various locations were reported by physicians. With the end of the 18th century came an end to the Society, because of, among other things, the French invasion and lack of money.
