Into the compass of an ordinary pocket-book the compiler of this work has managed to compress a vast fund of information concerning the Masonic Orders . As a pecket book it is equal to any other , and has a good

A comprehensive and compact almanack , pocket book , and directory of masonic information . In addition to the usual attributes of a pocket book , it contains lists of Lodges , of officers , and of chapters , encampments , and conclaves , not only in the United Kingdom ,

but throughout the world .- —Northern Fc / io , Darlington . We have much pleasure in calling attention to this useful little pocket-book , which contains valuable information and intelligence concerning matters Masonic , which must be greatly prized

by "the brethren of the mystic tie . " To the outside world , amongst whom we are content to number ourselves , the compendium before us indicates the universality of a benevolent Institution , which , with its numerous ramifications , orders , and degrees , is spread over the whole face

of the globe , and which if it does not perform all the good which its supporters assert , merits some degree of consideration from the number of eminent men who we find ranged under its banners . We are told that no true Freemason can be a bigot , and we should say , though we are of

course open to correction , that every Freemason must perforce be a liberal ; and yet the nonpolitical character of the bod y in this country , is amply exemplified by the names of the principal office bearers—for whilst we see that the Marquess of Ripon occupies the important position of Grand Master of England , H . R . H .

the Prince of Wales is described as a Past Grand Master ( though we believe , he never accepted the office of Grand Master ); and the Karl of Carnarvon occupies the second place in the Craft , that of Deputy Grand Master ; and Sir Albert Woods , Garter King at Arms , is appropriately placed as Grand Director of Ceremonies . —Essex Standard .
