Dating[edit]

is there a special reason, why the Article is called First Exhibition (1756), but in the Article itself it says: The First Exhibition took place in London during 1760, ...? -- Hartmann Schedel (talk) 08:03, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Appears to be an error, which I will correct. The Encyclopaedia Britannica (11th ed.), Chambers's Encyclopaedia, and other sources support the 1756 date. I think the article's title is pretty bad, though. Something like "Royal Society of Arts exhibition of 1856" would be much better. Best of all would be to merge this article into Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures & Commerce, which would absorb it nicely. Deor (talk) 23:57, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Royal" Society[edit]

I've deleted "Royal" from the name of the Society as it was only given that honour in 1908 (see the Wikipedia entry Royal Society of Arts). PhilUK (talk) 21:34, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
