Details
By .J. RAMSDEN RILEY, Bradford (Historian of 387), P.P.G.D.C. West Yorkshire. Leeds: Thomas C. Jack, 48 Park Lane; London: 45 Ludgate Hill. 1885. Frontispiece. Arms from Ahiman Rezon. 1764 [Introduction by Bro. W. J. Hughan.]
Bro. J. Ramsden Riley has done well to make known important facts relating to the Yorkshire Craft, and in the above work—beautifully illustrated, and in the two editions of his “Airedale Lodge” (there are three in all) which follow in this catalogue—the author has spared neither pains nor expense to do justice to the subject. The first warranted Lodge in Yorkshire, under the wing of the regular Grand Lodge, was in 1729, at Scarborough, but long before that year the old Lodge and York Grand Lodge had beenactively engaged in Masonic work. For the latter see my Masonic Sketches, and History of the “Apollo” Lodge. Also Bro. Gould’s History.
