The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge (SDUK) was founded in London in 1826, mainly at the instigation of Whig MP Henry Brougham, with the object of publishing information to people who were unable to obtain formal teaching or who preferred self-education. It was a largely Whig organisation, and published inexpensive texts intended to adapt scientific and similarly high-minded material for the rapidly-expanding reading public over twenty years until it was disbanded in 1846.

  • Die Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge (auch SDUK), gegründet 1826, war eine Organisation der britischen Whig-Partei, London, welche preiswerte Texte mit der Zielsetzung publizierte, wissenschaftliche und hochwertige Materialien für die sich rapide alphabetisierende und umfassender lesende Bevölkerung zur Verfügung zu stellen.

  • La Sociedad para la Difusión de Conocimientos Útiles (en inglés Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge), fue fundada en 1826 y es una organización del partido whig británico londinense que publicó textos de costo relativamente accesible con objeto de adaptar material científico y otros temas similares para el público lector, población que comenzaba a expandirse rápidamente. Se fundó sobre todo a iniciativa de Henry David Thoreau a fin de publicar información para todas aquellas personas que no tenían posibilidades de recibir educación formal o que preferían ser autodidactas. Algunas fuentes de la época la denominaban por sus iniciales SDUK. (es)
  • La Società per la Diffusione del Sapere Utile fu fondata a Londra nel 1826 da Lord Henry Brougham insieme a molti altri riformisti in seguito ad un articolo di Charles Knight apparso su un giornale nel 1821 che deplorava la cattiva influenza della stampa popolare sulle classi lavoratrici. Brougham aveva già scritto "Osservazioni pratiche sull'Educazione del Popolo, dirette alle classi industriose, ed a chi dà loro impiego." un opuscolo che proponeva la pubblicazione di libri di divulgazione scientifica e cultura generale a basso prezzo. Alcuni sospettano che a partire dal suo nome la SDUK fu costituita in parte anche come rivale della meglio conosciuta "Society for the Propagation of Christian Knowledge" a differenza di questa, le edizioni della SDUK preferivano la verità scientifica rispe (it)
