On February the 18th 2015, Newcastle's Literary & Philosophical Society (The Lit & Phil) will host a study afternoon
featuring a wide-range of short talks from academics and Lit & Phil
members on the society's history and archives. Amongst the speakers will be PhD student Patrick Low, who will give a talk entitled 'Capital Punishment, Phrenology and the Lit & Phil: The curious case of the “Bumpologist” Mayor, John Fife.' There will
also be a ‘show-and-tell’ session and an opportunity to browse through a
sample of the Lit & Phil’s collections. Read the full programme here.
