The Liverpool Royal Institution was a learned society set up in 1814 for "the Promotion of Literature, Science and the Arts". William Corrie, William Rathbone IV, Thomas Stewart Traill and William Roscoe were among the founders. It was sometimes called the Royal Society of Liverpool. The institute ran a grammar school for boys until 1892, and hosted exhibitions in an art gallery. It was dissolved in 1948, and its collections transferred to the University College Liverpool.
