Belfast printed by Joseph Smyth, 1832.

The Belfast Academical Institution was founded in 1810 and incorporated in 1815; An account of the system of education in the Belfast Academical Institution was published in 1818. Adam McClean had written to Soane on 25 April 1808 on behalf of the newly formed Management Committee of the projected Institution, and Soane replied on the 27th undertaking to prepare designs, but he was not acquainted with the financial situation and the plans had to be considerably scaled down. By 19 July 1809 Soane was able to write that the less ambitious designs were ready, and on 25 July he was made an Honorary Member of the Institution. (See Hugh Dixon, Soane and the Belfast Academical Institution, Gatherum series 8, Dublin 1976.)
