proposed by G. MACKENZIE in 1835; first met in Newcastle in 1838, then Birmingham (1839), Glasgow (1840), London (1841-46), co-ordinating its meetings with those of the Br Assn; largely destroyed in 1842 after W. ENGLEDUE'S address on materialism and mesmerism. A "declaration of expediency," drawn up by J. SIMPSON and M. SAMPSON, failed to hold the Association together.
