STANDARD WORKS ON FREEMASONRY 8 vo , cloth , Third edition , revised and enlarged , 15 s . THE EARLY HISTORY AND ANTIQUITIES OF FREEMASONRY . As connected with the Nors Guilds , the Oriental and Medixval building Fraternity . By GEORGE F . FORT . EXTRACT FROM AUTHOR ' S PREfACK . The Work Is the result of years of labour , whose original and persistent dcsignlias uniformly been to arrive at truth . In no instance are traditions resting on unsubstantial ground adduced as corroborative testimony of the line of research which , after careful examination of tacts , 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 ot the Crsft down to an undisputed historical basis j and , in the pur . suance of this 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 . Ine immediate argument and scope of the treatise may be briefly stated as follows : To commence with a narrative of the state of tine atts 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 earned down to the formal extinction of the society as an operative brother . hood in the year 1717 . Among the several appendices will be found a contribution to the History of the Lost Word , together with other valuable documentary evidence , which is added to make the same laore acceptable to the public and Fraternity at large ,
