1766

According to its website
( ),
the Society was founded in 1766 as the
Svenska Patriotiska Sällskapet till konsters, slöjders och
rikets näringars uppmuntran
(Swedish Patriotic Society for Encouragement of the Arts, Crafts and the
Country's Industries).
In 1772, the constitution of the Society received Royal confirmation and
the Society thereafter received the Royal designation.
Its website
()
makes it clear that in the early years the Society was concerned with the
strengthening of the national economy, and was therefore concerned with
agriculture, forestry, mining and the textile industry.
Since about 1813, however, the Society has concentrated on making awards
of medals for distinguished service and on performing charitable work.
Its website
()
indicates that their one remaining journal in 1813, the
Hushållningsjournalen (Agricultural Journal),
ceased publication when the
Swedish Academy of Agriculture and Forestry
(Lantbruksakademien)
was set up and began publishing its Records.
[Note: The latter Academy was actually set up in 1811, but did not begin
publication of its first journal, the Annaler until 1813.]
It would appear that at this point the scholarly activity of the
Patriotiska Sällskapet came largely to an end.
