Title[edit]

Far as I can see, nobody but Wikipedia calls it "Society for the Establishment of...". Everyone calls it "Society for Establishing...". I figure we're wrong and the others are right. Jim.henderson (talk) 23:38, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes according to [1] and others. I intend to move it in the next few days if nobody else does. Jim.henderson (talk) 01:14, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I've no issues with the move as it seems the more current name, but the name "Society for the Establishment of Useful Manufactures" was not an invention of Wikipedia. [2] [3] [4] [5] and many more olderwiser 19:34, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ah. I trusted my 1943 Britannica's Paterson article, apparently written in the 1920s, giving "for establishing". Had I looked further, I would have called it an open question, mentioned both in the first sentence, and otherwise let a sleeping dog lie. Too bad we have no copy of the original legislation.
