Details

By WILLIAM JAMES HUGHAN, foreign correspondent for “Voice of Masonry,” Chicago, U.S.A.; “Verein Deutscher Freimaurer,” Leipzig, Saxony; Honorary Member “John of Gaunt Lodge,” Leicester; “Marquis of Daihousie Lodge,” London; “Kingston Lodge,” Hull, &c., &c. London: George Kenning, Little Britain; Hull: M.C. Peck and Son; Truro: William Lake, Boscawen Street. 1871. The special interest connected with this volume (two books in one) is due to its being the only work until the advent of Bro. Gould’s History, that deals at length with York Masonry. The evidence submitted proves beyond doubt that what is known by that term died out about 1792, and left no representative whatever anywhere in the wide world. The first part appeared in the “Kingston Masonic Annual,” Hull, in the same year; 100 copies were published in the above form, and 50 of the second part separately. 500 were also issued in America by the ‘ Masoflic Publishing Co.,” in a most attractive form, all of which have long been out of print,
