Odd Fellows (or Oddfellows; also Odd Fellowship or Oddfellowship is an international fraternity consisting of lodges first documented in 1730 in London.

Likewise, by the mid-19th century, the Independent Order of Oddfellows Manchester Unity had become the largest and richest fraternal organisation in the United Kingdom

 

In 1839, the Hamilton & Gore Mechanics’ Institute was established as a private venture. Members had to be at least 18 years old and pay a five-shilling admission fee, plus ten-shilling annually. Remember, English currency was used exclusively in Canada up until Confederation.

In addition, the Hamilton & Gore Mechanics’ Institute was one of the city’s earliest private lending libraries (in many cases they were the first libraries in other cities worldwide as well.) It specialized in non-fiction literature about science and technology.
