Details

By DAVID MURHAY LYON, one of the Grand Stewards of the Grand Lodge of Scotland; Senior Provincial Grand Warden of Ayrshire; Honorary Corresponding Member of the “Verein Deutscher Freimaurer,” &c.

With portrait of Earl of Dalhousie, to whom the book is dedicated.

Bro. D. Murray Lyon’s History of the celebrated “Lodge of Edinburgh,” with records continuously from the year 1599 to the present time—nigh on three centuries—is the grandest work of the kind ever written in any country, and its pages should be carefullyperused by all brethren who desire a faithful account of the Scottish Craft, as well as of this particular Lodge, throughout the eventful period. No Lodges in the world have such old records preserved as those in Northern Britain, and their description and explanation could not be in better hands. The volume cost over £1000 to produce, and it will be seen that the facsimiles, portraits, and illustrations are all worthy of the noble work.
