History Of Freemasonry In Maryland.

HISTORY OF FREEMASONRY IN MARYLAND .

HISTORY is one of the most fascinating and instructive of studies , and Masonic history is as interesting to the Freemason as profane history is to the general reader . To have brought before you the great events of the past , out of which have been developed ,

perhaps , still greater events in the present ; to become acquainted with the distinguished careers of the Brethren wbo in the early days , now almost forgotten , laboured for the welfare of the Craft ; and to learn of the quaint customs of the olden time , now long disused and to us
