Masonic Reception Of The British Association At York.

MASONIC RECEPTION OF THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION AT YORK .

WHEN we consider the great antiquity of Freemasonry , the numerous books which have been published in reference to it , tho almost innumerable other works bearing on the subject , and tho general interest felt in its history by brethren throughout the country , we can

but feel surprised that so few public collections of relics of the Craft are to be met with . With , we think , but two exceptions , namely , at the quarters of tho Supreme Council in Golden Square , and among the brethren of York , no systematic public organisations exist in this country for the

acquiring and preservation of curiosities and relics of Masonic history . In these two cases it is true tho collections are of sufficient extent to compensate in a measure for the apathy displayed by the remainder of the English brotherhood , but when we weigh what has been , and is still

being done , by the brethren associated with them , we feel regret that their example is nofc followed more generally , or that some more regular support is given them than is at present the case . On this occasion we shall confine our remarks to the collection which exists at York—the

property ot the York and Eboracum Lodges , or of the brethren who are members of them . The best we can say of this collection is , that every Mason who has an opportunity of doing so should devote a portion of his time to an

inspection of it . We feel assured that he will be pleased at having done so , even if , by a personal acquaintance with some of the relics of the past , he does not feel greater veneration for the Order itself . On the occasion of the

reception of the members of the British Association by the brethren of York , which took place on Monday , at the Masonic Hall , great pains were taken to secure the loan of every item of Masonic interest know of in the district , and the presence of most of these , together with those in the

possession of the York brethren themselves , formed an exhibition which we can but hope will one day become a permanent one in the city . It is doubtless true that private collectors are loth to part with the treasures of which they have , perhaps after great trouble , possessed

themselves , yet in the interest of the general body , it is often found they are willing to do so , provided some suitable place can be found for their reception . This , we venture to think , the brethren of York would be willing to provide , if it was found their already-erected

hall was either unsuited or insufficient for the purpose . We would suggest that each of the exhibitors on the recent occasion be invited to co-operate in some scheme which shall have for its object the permanent collection , in one building , of the many interesting relics which were then

only lent , and this having been done , that brethren throughout the country be invited to co-operate in making at York a really national collection of Masonic curiosities . If this were carried out , and a catalogue of the articles already secured were published , we believe many responses

would be made . At present brethren are really unaware of the class of things for which to seek , or if by chance they become possessors of an old Masonic work , are at a loss to know where to send it in order that it may be of service to the Craft at large . But if it once became known that York

was the recognised centre , the feeling that their gifts might be lost would no longer deter donors or loaners to the general collection . From the prominent part York played in Freemasonry in the past , it would be particularly entitled to the honour of becoming the home of Masonic relics ,

while the collection alread y formed by its brethren , gives it a further claim to this distinction . It has further the advantage of being the home of some of the most enterprising students of Masonic history we can boast of in this country , and is in many other ways eminently suited as tbe centre for a Masonic museum .

The reception of Monday took place , as we have said , at the Masonic Hall , in Duncombe-place , where at seven o ' clock a Lodge of Emergency was opened by the W . M . of No . 236 . The spacious hall was filled to its utmost

capacity , there being upwards of three hundred brethren present , while in the centre of the Lodge , and around the walls , were arranged the various exhibits of the day , of which the following is a list : —

Curious old silver Masonic jewel , letter G in centre , and emblemsvery finely cut . Date unknown—lent ; by Mrs . Tissiman , Scarborough . Curious old jewel , Mark and Craffc combined ; an old York Mark mem . ber ' s medal F . H . C ., & o . Seems to connect Craffc with Mark , rare
