Continental Lodges.
CONTINENTAL LODGES .
We have great pleasure in presenting to our readers lists of the working and dormant Freemasons' Lodges at present registered in Belgium , France , Germany , Holland , and their colonies , and are persuaded they will be found not only useful but of considerable importance to every traveller on the Continent . It has long been a desideratum that fists of Lodges abroad should exist in the English language , in order that the members of the Craft when visiting a continental town may know if a
Masonic Lodge existed therein , in order that a closer intimacy might be created by the interchange of visits . We had hoped to have been enabled to give the days and places of meeting , but as we are not authentically or officially informed , we deem it better to abstain from giving the information we possess , which might be found incorrect and mislead the Brethren ; it will be very easy for them now , knowing that a Lodge is at work in the town they happen to beaud likewise having the name
, , to ascertain where and when its meetings occur . We are mainly indebted for the information herein contained to the Latomia , and also the Globe , a French Masonic periodical ; Annuaire Massonique , a Belgian , and the Netherlandish Year Book , a Dutch Masonic publication . A short history of continental Freemasonry will be found in the volume for 1844 , of the present series of the Freemasons' Quarterly Review .
