STANDARD WORKSOP FREEMASONRY 8 vo , cloth , Third edition , revised and enlarged , 15 s * THE EARLY HISTORY AND ANTIOUITIES OF FREEMASONRY . As connected with the Nors Guilds , the Oriental and Mediaeval building Fraternity . By GEORGE F . FORT . EXTRACT FROM AUTHOR ' S PREFACE . The Work is the result of years of labour , whose original and persistent designrias uniformly bcen to arrive at truth . In no instance are traditions resting on unsubstantial ground adduced as corroborative testimony of the line of research which , alter careful examination of facts , he has adopted . Mere legends or guild * tales do not appear in this book , unless produced in that portion ot the treatise abandoned expressly to the traditional history of the Fraternity . In a word , the constant and invariable tendency of the author in the ensuing pages is to bring the history and antiquities of the Craft down to an undisputed historical basis ; and , in the pursuance of ihis subject , he was frequently compelled to abandon the usual track followed by writers on this subject , and to rely upon authorities whose testimony—found noted in the margin—will be accepted without suspicion of intemperate or uncritical zeal . The immediate argument and scope of the treatise may be briefly stated as follows : To commence with a narrative of the state of fine arts at the decline of the Roman Empire , and also of the propagation of architecture and its kindred sciences by bodies of builders , who developed into the Middle-Age Freemasons , whose history is carried down to the formal extinction of the society as an operative brotherhood in the year 1717 . Among the several appendices will be found a contribution to the History of the Lost Word , together with other Mluable documentary evidence , which is added to make the same jinr , accprtable to the public and Fraternity at large .

Handsomely printed in antique type , large 4 to , cloth , 73 .-d . KENNING'S ARCH _ -EOLOGICAL LIBRARY . Edited by Rev . A . F . A . WOODFORD , Past Grand Chaplain . Vol . I . contains Anderson's Constitutions of 1723 , bein <* the first complete reprint in England of that memorable book . It is admirably printed and illustrated as it was first issued , and will be found a work of the greatest interest to all Masons , and especially to those » ho like still to pore over the ancient records of the Craft . The VVilson MS . Constitutions , which forms the Second Part of Vol . I ., is also of much value to antiquarians and the Craft . It is first mentioned in the manifesto of the " Lodge of Antiquity " in 1778 , and the story of its discovery by the editor has been told in the pages of the Freemason . It is hoped that this will lead to the discovery of missing MSS ., and the future volumes of the " Archaeological Library" will lead . Masonic . students to a clearer conception of the real history of Freemasonry and the tru $ k-nrW of its very curious and ancient MSS .
