Société des Amateurs des Sciences Physiques et Naturelles de Paris
Founding of the Society
Year
Authority / Notes
1807

According to Crosland (1967), p.187, this Society was founded in the summer of 1807 as the Société des Amateurs des Sciences Physiques et Naturelles de Paris. Crosland (1967), p.188 indicates that in 1808 it took the name Société des Sciences Physiques et Naturelles.

Crosland (1967), p.188 indicates that the Society ceased to publish after 1808, and, although ambitious, it was in no position to make a significant contribution to science. Crosland (1967), p.188 alludes to a request of the Society to the Institut on 1809, August 21. It is not clear when the Society ceased, but it evidently ceased to be very active after suspending publication of its journal in 1808. In the absence of other information, we will take 1809 as the cessation date.
