STANDARD WORKS ON FREEMASONRY

Ad01401

Royal 8 vo , 665 pages , cloth , gilt letters , ios . 6 d . ISENNING'S CYCLOP / EDIA OF FREEMASONRY . - — Editedby # 1 Rev . A . F . A . WOODFORD , M . A ., Past Grand Chaplain . This Work treats fully on Masonic History and Archaeology up to the present time , and contains all subjects which fairly form part of a Masonic Cyclopaedia . Some topics are introduced for the first time ; some omitted which tend to make most of our handbooks too bulky for the general reader , since they include subjects which may be considered extern to Freemasonry proper . It is hoped , however , that this new publication will be found both condensed and yet comprehensive , lucid in statement , and complete in treatment , and that it will become a real and portable vade mecum for English , Scotch , and Irish Freemasons . No efforts have been spared to make it worthy of our great Order . OPINIONS OF THE PRESS . A goodly octavo of 600 pages , in which will be found many things which to brethren will be valuable . —Standard . Is a very complete handbook in alphabetical arrangement of Masonic archaeology , history , and biography . —Daily News . This work , in brief compass , embodies the main points of information required by the general outside student of Freemasonry .... As a handbook of moderate price and much completeness within the limits , it bids fair to be of some service to the Guild , and to general enquirers . —Echo . The editor is a well-known and esteemed member of the Craft , highly cultured , and with large stores of information , and he has made his book interesting , not alone to Freemasons . —Builder . This substantial and clearly-printed volume presents , in a compendious form , a vast amount of archaeological , historical , biographical , and other information , on matters connected with Freemasonry , and is in every respect creditable to the editor and publisher . —Literary World . To any brother who is not already in possession of a similar book we can recommend this work as containing much that will interest and inform him . —Sunday Times . A real and substantial service to the cause of Masonic literature . —Touchstone .

Svo , cloth , Third Edition , revised and enlarged . 15 s . THE EARLY HISTORY AND ANTIQUITIES OF FREEI MASONRY . As connected with the Nors Guilds , the Oriental and Mediaeval Building Fraternity . By GEORGE F . FORT . EXTRACT FROM AUTHOR ' S PREFACE . The Work is the result of years of labour , whose original and persistent design has uniformly been to arrive at truth . In no instance are traditions resting on unsubstantial ground adduced as corroborative testimony of the line of research which , after careful examination of facts , he has adopted . Mere legends or guildic tales do not appear in this book , unless produced in that portion of the treatise abandoned expressly to the traditional history of the Fraternity . In a word , the constant and invariable tendency of the author in the ensuing pages is to bring the history and antiquities of the Craft down to an undisputed historical basis ; and , in the pursuance of this subject , he was frequently compelled to abandon the usual track followed by writers on this subject , and to rely upon authorities whose testimony—found noted in the margin—will be accepted without suspicion of intemperate or uncritical zeal . The immediate argument and scope of the treatise may be briefly stated as follows : To commence with a narrative of the state of . fine arts at the decline of the Roman Empire , and also of the propagation of architechrte and its kindred sciences by bodies of builders , who developed into . the Middle-Age Freemasons , whose history is carried down to the formal extinction of the society as an operative brotherhood in the year 1717 . Among the several appendices will be found a contribution to the History of the Lost Word , together with other valuable documentary evidence , which is added to make the same more acceptable to the public and Fraternity at large .
