Laureate Edition Of Dr. Rob Morris's Masonic Poems.

LAUREATE EDITION OF DR . ROB MORRIS'S MASONIC POEMS .

WE have been reqnested to call attention to this splendid volnme , which comprises a complete collection , three hundred in number , of the poetical productions of Bro . Bob Mor- is , Poet Laureate of Freemasonry . It is a quarto of fonr hundred pages , sumptuously printed on heavy paper in coloured borders , the book gilt-edged , bound in cloth , with emblematic stamps in gold , and

presenting the author ' s portrait , done by the artotype process . It may be commended , with perfect confidence , both for its external beauty and its internal merit , to the patronage of every one who admires pure and beautiful sentiment embodied in elegant verse . For a centre table piece , this Laureate edition is admirably fitted .

It has repeatedly proved its adaptation already as a present to ladies with sesthetic tastes ; as an honorarium to eminent Masons ; as an essential work in popular libraries ; as a resource to musical composers . In Masonic literature ifc is an edition de luxe , the only holiday and gift book ever published .

Oar venerable Bro . Morris , whose active career of two score yearB has been recently cut short by the infirmities of age , has collected together , at the argent request of the Chiefs in Masonry , and spread forth upon these ample pages , all his Masonic productions of a poetic oast . They are here , subjeots for song and declamation , in every

variety of metre , and they embody all the imagery of Masonry that is suggested by symbol , drama , and tradition . In wonderful varieties of versification , and with extraordinary felicity of language , the author has glorified the things of peace , the precepts of the trowel , gavel , and square , to all coming time . In these pages war ,

slander , hatred , profanity , uncleanness , all things abhorrent to the white-souled genius of Freemasonry , he has condemned in severe strains , while love , gratitude , fraternity , honour , and reverenoe to God , the just sentiments of the Society , he has depicted in lines of living light . For forty years a patient observer of the doings of the

Freemasons , and one of the foremost participants therein , he testifies in this book , in three hundred poems of melodious verse , his judgment of Freemasonry , expressing his well founded sense of its merits as the best adjunct to the best influences of religion . Let any one examine carefully " The Door of the Heart , " p 90 ; " The Level and

the Square , "• pp 11 , 12 ; "One Hour with You , " p 231 ; "One ia Your Master , " p 15 ; "The Holy Scriptures , " pp 86-88 ; "Corn , Wine , and Oil , " p 102 ; " The Three Knocks , " pp 141-143 ; " The Drunkard ' s Grave , " p 165 ; "The Coming of the Master , " pp 20-23 ; and that extraordinary production , " The Utterances of the Sword , "

pp 53-68 , or , indeed , any of the pieces taken at random from the Laureate Edition , and he will heartily concur in the judgment of the celebrated Dr . George Oliver , D . D ., of England , expressed as early aa 1860 , that "Every poem of our American Brother Morris is a Masonic lecture , an essay rounded and complete , and couched in most melodious verse . "

The Laureate Edition has been published under the recommendation of those distinguished Masons who participated in the coronation of the Poet Laureate , 17 th December 1884 . There is a united effort to distribute the full edition of five thousand . To this end every copy is numbered ; a registry is kept of the patrons , and a printed

list , constantly augmenting , will be issued every three months . Already , at this date ( 24 th June 1885 ) , the catalogue shows names comprising the names of Masons of world-wide repute , and it cannot be a difficult task for a society numbering a million members to absorb the rest within the near future . This once accomplished , the

last days of the venerable poet will be cleared of apprehension , and his heart comforted with the assurance of the love and respect of the great Fraternity to whose interests he has given the best labours of his life . The price of the Laureate Edition ( including postage ) is 21 s , and Bro . W . J . Hughan , Grosvenor House , Torquay , will supply the work on receipt of a remittance .
