Details
Comprising a new theory of the origin of the “Ancient” Grand Lodge. Founded on official records and recently discovered documents. By HENRY SADLER, P.M. and P.Z., Grand Tyler and Sub-Librarian of the Grand Lodge of England.
“If circumstances lead me, I will find Where truth is hid, though it were hid indeed Within the centre.”—Shakespeare.
Bro. Sadler is of the opinion that we are in error in supposing the inauguration of the Grand Lodge of the “Ancients” was due to any schism or secession. He claims that the organisation was started by Irish brethren resident in London, and seeks with allhis might—which is considerable—to prove his position. Whether accept. ing or rejecting his theory, the work is a valuable addition to any Masonic Library, and has much more in it than the title indicates. It deserves—as it has had—a good circulation, and is a credit to its author.
