Book excerpt: Excerpt from Masonic Historical and Bibliographical Memoranda These Memoranda were originally published in 1874 in the new england freemason. By the thoughtfulness of Bro. Sereno D. Nickerson, extra copies of the sheets, containing the Memoranda were struck off, whereby I have been enabled to furnish them in a compact and convenient form. The favorable consideration given to them led me to make and preserve notes for additions and corrections. With this material on hand, I have been easily induced by the Masonic Collectors' Association to rewrite the Memoranda for publication by them.

Book excerpt: From the Introduction: FOR many years there has been a growing desire among the Craft for knowledge and instruction beyond that received in the Lodge room. This has led to the collection of Masonic books and documents. In view of the very large number of Masonic books and pamphlets that have been published, and the great number of masons in almost every community, it would seem that the managers of general Libraries, which are intended to furnish information upon all important topics of public interest, would have included standard masonic works in their collections. But it has not been so and even now few of our largest Libraries have any books of a Masonic character. This has led to the formation of Libraries exclusively masonic. I believe that Bro. T. S. Parvin of Iowa, was the pioneer; he commenced the Library of the Grand Lodge of Iowa in 1844, but its growth was very slow for many years. The publication of their Proceedings by the various Grand Masonic Bodies now adds annually a large amount to the material for Masonic Libraries; and as it is well understood that these Proceedings contain the jurisprudence and the material for the history of the progress of the Institution, the demand for them has become greater than ever before. But for these purposes, full files are necessary. One great difficulty in their collection arises from its not being known what Proceedings have been issued. The same difficulty has been experienced in the collection of Masonic Periodicals. To remedy this, these "Memoranda" were collected, originally for my own use, but given to the public at the request of others. To save space in the Notes of Proceedings, I use "I." for Grand Lodge, "II." for Grand Chapter, "III." for Grand Council, and "IV." for Grand Commandery. The Proceedings of Grand Bodies being usually published annually in octavo. I have not given the size, and time of publication unless they are exceptions to the general rule just stated. As a rule also, I do not notice special sessions of the Grand Bodies, when the Proceedings thereof are published only in the same pamphlet with those of the annual sessions. I find that there is now, in general use, no uniform method of accurately describing the size of books. Formerly, the terms "octavo," "duodecimo," etc., had a very well defined and. uniform meaning, because the sheets used in the publication of books were substantially of the same size, and of course a term, showing how many leaves one sheet made, would accurately describe the size of the book. But while in these later times the sheets are of siv.es, dictated only by the taste or whim of the manufacturer, the old terms to indicate the size of books, are retained, although they not only fail to do that, but absolutely mislead. I have endeavored in my descriptions to give the size as nearly as possible in comparison with the old standard of sizes, but I have found it, in many cases, impossible to carry out my design. As an illustration of the difficulty, I mention the tenth English Edition of Preston's Illustrations: in some descriptions it is given as octavo, and in others as a duodecimo, and there are apparently copies of both sizes; but an examination shows that the size of the printed page in each variety is precisely the same, viz: duodecimo; but copies were printed on sheets of larger size, so that by giving wide margins, the book, as bound, is as large as an ordinary octavo. There would seem to be a necessity for the general adoption of a new rule on this subject; but the almost infinite variety of sizes in books now published makes that quite an impossibility. The best that could be done, so far as I can see, would be to give the size of the printed page in inches ; but this would not accomplish the result, as books having the same printed, page are put up in bindings of different sizes.....

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Standard History of Freemasonry in the State of New York: Including Lodge, Chapter, Council, Commandery and Scottish Rite BodiesThe effort has been made to write a veritable history, not a mere summary of volumes of proceedings; to write a volume which would give any reader an idea of the story of Freemasonry in the Empire State, and at the same time be so purely and suf ficiently Masonic as to warrant the attention of the most devoted member of the fra ternity. Comparativelv little has been said of the history of the ritual, for it was felt that that subject could not, with any degree of fullness, be properly treated in a work of this kind - if, indeed, it were wise to treat it at all in a printed book - and mere details of legislation have been passed by with, at best, but brief mention. Yet no attempt has been made to ignore any thread which gave the slightest color to the mass, and all events of moment, such as the troubles of 1823 or 1837, the Morgan excitement, and the like, have been fully and carefully considered.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Joseph Webb Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons: And Biography of Joseph Webb, Jr. The first meeting to consider the feasibility of form ing a new Masonic Lodge was held in Boston Hall, 176 Tremont street, on the evening of December 9, 1875. A very few brethren interested in Masonic work, had for some months considered the question in all its bearings, until they became satisfied that a new lodge could not only live, but be made a success. Little by little this feeling, looked upon by some as visionary, grew into a great root, which, spreading like those germinating from the little acorn, shot forth its main branch and gave us the material from which to build our Masonic home. The time had come when consultation was proper, hence the meeting at Boston Hall as before stated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
