provide an inspiration in philosophy, sociology and social history on this topic. It is a difficult task to acknowledge the German literary advantage, since the first study (about the Casinomovement of Széchenyi) is connected to the name of Bettina GNEISSE. Géza FÜLÖP followed these models through his example he has motivated research into the national culture of literacy. The formation of newer associations also motivated historical point of views which were supported by the unification of the central (OL) and county registers. Despite their incomplete nature, statistical notices compose an important basis for the research of the history of the associations. It is probable that the so-called multidisciplanary approach, the unified analysis of a single theme through various scientific branches (for instance, sociology, social science, ethnography, etc.), will provide a result in this field.
