Details
Illustrated with facsimiles of portions of “Antiquity MS.,” and the “York MS.” of A.D. 1693, and AD. 1704. A preface by the Rev. A. F. A. Woodford, M.A. (Rector of Swillington, Leeds). London: Simpkin, Marshall and Co., Stationers’ Hall Court. Truro: William Lake, Boscawen Street. Philadelphia (U.S.): Charles Eugene Meyer, 722 Arch Street. 1872. This is, so far, the only collection of the various versions of the “Old Charges” extant. Since 1872, however, many more rolls have been discovered and made known, the most of which are described in Bro. Gould’s noble History, Vol. I. Only 500 copies of my work were issued to subscribers at 5s. each, and now command a heavy premium in the open market whenever any occur for sale. Lodge No. 2076 is annually reproducing beautiful facsimiles of these “Old Charges.” Dedicated (by permission) to the Most Hon. the Marquessof Ripon, K.G.
