Originally named the 'Matrimonial Society', the group was founded by John Penn in 1817 with the aim of improving the domestic lives of married individuals. Its creation followed the publication of Penn's poem Marriage in the Monthly Magazine during the summer of 1815. According to the inscription, the Outinian Society held lectures "every Saturday throughout the [summer] season" of 1818. Although the society was composed of men, "marriageable ladies" were invited to attend these lectures, where they had the chance to meet and socialize with bachelors over tea. Additional lectures were held at Penn's Stoke Park estate and on tour across the country, until the society dissolved in 1825.
