Scope and Content
Administrative / Biographical History
On the 29th July 1841 at Boston, USA, a meeting including members of the American Peace Society suggested that a conference should be held in London to 'consult on the measures adapted to promote universal peace amongst the nations of the earth'. The committee of the London Peace Society approved this suggestion, and a conference took place on 14th May 1842 consisting of about 70 individuals who agreed that a convention of 'persons from different nations (should meet) to deliberate upon the best means, under the Divine blessing, to show the world the evil and inexpediency of the spirit and to promote permanent and universal peace'.
