Download or read book Illustrations of Masonry written by William Preston and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-24 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrations of Masonry: With Additions, Explanatory Notes, and the Historical Portion Continued From 1820 to the Present Time Yet, notwithstanding the necessary erasures, Masonry has advanced so steadily in public Opin ion of late years, that the dignity and importance of its proceedings would require a still greater space for their record and discussion than is thus placed at his disposal, and, therefore, the Editor feels himself obliged to accept the necessity of avoiding, as a rule, all reference to the general transactions of private Lodges, lest in recording the proceedings of one he Should be so unfortu nate as to give offence to another (although many exceptional cases have arisen where it has been found expedient to transgress this conventional limit) for if a history of all the English Lodges were to be included in our programme, a quarto would be insufficient to contain even an abridge ment of the materials and, in the present palmy state of Masonry, it would require a Parliament ary blue-book to note down even a brief analysis of all the sayings and doings of the Brethren. Thus any attempt to reduce a full account of the events of thirty years within the compass of a hundred pages, would, after all possible pains had been taken to make the record perspicuous, be to a certain extent unsatisfactory. On a reference to the additional matter, the Editor confidently hopes it will be admitted that he has attained the happy medium of sustaining the interest of his performance without the sacrifice of any partien lars which might be considered essential to the dignity and importance of historical truth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Antiquities of Free-Masonry: Comprising Illustration of the Five Grand Periods of Masonry I cannot but think (and I say it with the utmost deference, as it involves some of the most refined and honourable feelings of human nature) that the doubts of conscientious brethren, respecting the propriety of committing Masonic investigations to writing, have tended to impede the study of Ma sonry, and have prevented the science from carry ing that conviction which an Opposite practice would have commanded.

Download or read book The Art of Masonry in Britain Classic Reprint written by William Diack and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-06-22 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Masonry in Britain MY object in the following pages has been to describe briefly the origin and development of the art and craft of masonry in Britain, especially during the earlier years of its history. Volumes innumerable dealing with the history of architecture (as distinct from masonry) are in circulation. Especially is this the case with the period of the Renaissance, including the era covered by the famous works of Inigo Jones, Christopher Wren, and their contemporaries and successors. Pre cisely for that reason this remarkable period in the history of British architecture has, in this volume, been dealt with more briefly than its importance would otherwise warrant. My purpose has rather been to deal with the social life and work of British masons during that period when architecture had not yet developed into a distinct calling - when the master masons of the guild designed as well as superintended the work of their fellow-craftsmen. Moreover, I have sought to relate the history of masonry from the point of view of the artificer and craftsman rather than from the more theoretic standpoint of the architect or designer.

Download or read book Masonry Structures Classic Reprint written by Frederick Putman Spalding and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Masonry Structures The term Masonry has been construed to include concrete, and the field covered by the title is a very wide one. It has therefore been necessary to select for discussion those types which seem most adequately to illustrate the principles, and no attempt has been made to cover fully the details of all classes of masonry structures. The purpose has been to provide an introduction to the subject, which may later be followed by intensive study in more detailed works upon the various branches. This gives a general view of the subject as a whole, and is the natural method of approach. The Author has derived much assistance from a number of books which deal more fully with various portions of the subject. These are mentioned at the ends of articles or chapters to which they specially relate. They should be studied by students desiring a more complete presentation of the subject. Special acknowledgment is also due to Professors A. Lincoln Hyde and Guy D. Newton of the University of Missouri for reading and criticising portions of the manuscript and for assistance in pre paring the illustrations.
