This request was kindly complied with. The large meeting house was
granted for the evening of the 27th. The clerks of the men's and women's
meetings gave public notice of it in their respective assemblies. The
former, the venerable and worthy Richard Mott, encouraged Friends to be
present, and said, as a thinking and reasoning people, they need fear no
harm from a calm consideration of the subject. The attendance was large,
including, I believe, most of those Friends who were from the country.
The following brief notice of it in the American and Foreign
Anti-Slavery Reporter, will explain the character of the meeting.


"On Thursday evening of last week, the members of the Society of
Friends (Orthodox,) assembled in this city at their Annual
Meeting, met at their meeting house in Orchard street, to listen
to the statements of John Candler, of England, lately returned
from a visit to the West India Islands, as to the results of
emancipation in those Islands, and also of our esteemed friend,
Joseph Sturge, in reference to the general subject of
emancipation throughout the world.

"The meeting was largely attended. The successful and happy
results of the immediate emancipation of the slaves of the
colonies, as detailed by John Candler, were calculated to
strengthen the conviction that to do justice is always
expedient. Joseph Sturge gave a history of the progress of the
anti-slavery cause in Great Britain from the time of the old
abolition society, of which Thomas Clarkson was a member, and of
which he is sole survivor. He also glanced at the state of the
cause in other quarters of the globe--at the efforts for East
India emancipation, and at late movements in France, Brazil and
Spain, in favor of emancipation; concluding with a most
affecting appeal to the members of his religious society to omit
no right opportunity for pleading for the slave, and for
hastening the day of his deliveranc

Various, or Various Production, is an English dubstep/electronic music duo formed in 2003. The group blends samples, acoustic and electronic instrumentation, and singing from a revolving cast of vocalists. Its members, Adam and Ian, purposefully give very little information about the group or themselves, and tend to do little in the way of self-promotion.[1] Nevertheless, the group began winning critical acclaim with its single releases in 2005 and 2006.[2] Their full-length for XL, The World is Gone, arrived in July of 2006.[3][4][5][6][7] They have released a large number of vinyl EPs and 7 records, as well as digital exclusives for Rough Trade, iTunes, and Boomkat.[8]

Alfred Binet (July 8, 1857 October 18, 1911), French psychologist and inventor of the first usable intelligence test, the basis of todays IQ test. Born in Nice, Binet was a French psychologist who published the first modern intelligence test, the Binet-Simon intelligence scale, in 1905. His principal goal was to identify students who needed special help in coping with the school curriculum. Along with his collaborator Thodore Simon, Binet published revisions of his intelligence scale in 1908 and 1911, the last appearing just before his untimely death. A further refinement of the Binet-Simon scale was published in 1916 by Lewis M. Terman, from Stanford University, who incorporated the German psychologist William Sterns proposal that an individuals intelligence level be measured as an intelligence quotient (I.Q.). Termans test, which he named the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale formed the basis for one of the modern intelligence tests still commonly used today. They are all colloquiall
