——The History and Development of Gilds , and thc Origin of Trades Unions ; by LujO BRENTANO , Doctor of Laws and Philosophy . Triibner & Co ., 60 ,
Paternosterrow . ( Continued from page 229 ., ) We resume our extracts from Dr . Brentano ' s valuable work : — Accounts at that time of strikes in the building trade are particularly numerous ; and this is easily
explained by thc peculiar circumstances of this trade , which differed from all others . The trade appears to have been of a twofold kind . When cathedrals and palaces were built , there was but one master—the architect of the present day . Between him and the workmen there were masters
and foremen answering to the masters and foremen of modern factories . * The "lodgef " itself of the architect was very similar to our factories ; it consisted of one or more workshops in which the workmen worked together ; and the part of the code of the Rochlitz Stonemasons referring to the
workmen , bears a pcrlect resemblance , mutatis mutandis , to our factory rules . In the building of dwellinghouses , however , it appears to me that the owner himself conducted the work , that he engaged both masters and workmen , and that thc masters stood to him in the same intermediate position as the
foremen above mentioned . Hence wc find in thc legal regulation about wages , special directions how much wages the masters in the building trades were to receive ; and it was frequently defined how much the master might retain of the wages which were paid to him for the workmen , or that he should
deduct nothing for himself . Sometimes , also , they undertook such buildings in gross , i . e ., by contract , as is proved by the statutes ofthe London Masons of 1356 . Thus these old building trades show a great similarity in their institutions to those of our modern Great Industry ; there were fewer persons
who carried on the trade on their own account , and a greater number of dependent workmen , than in the other trades ; and the last-mentioned ordinances point to relations such as are still greatly abhorred by workmen of the present day . Naturally , those relations led then to the same differences between
workmen and their employers as they lead now . Thus in England the " Royal mandate as to thc workmen who have withdrawn from the works at the Palace of Westminster" tells us of a strike amongst the workmen in the building trades ; ancl thc two laws enacted there in the middle ages against
combinations , congregations , and chapters of workmen , thc 3 4 th Edward III . c . 9 and 3 rd Henry VI . c . 1 , were directed against workmen in the building trades only . Moreover , the peculiar position of these trades is indicated by thc fact that all thc legal regulations of wages in the middle ages which arc
cited by Eden , refer—by thc side of agricultural labourers—exclusively to thc workmen in the building trades . About this time also there sprang up in thc building trades in France thc " compagnonnage , " and for centuries it existed among workmen only employed in these trades .
Much the same were thc journeymen fraternities in all trades ; except in the Stonemasons ' , for every individual master stonemason , with his journeymen

formed a fraternity . The societies of the French " compagnons" corresponded to these organizations , except that with them I know nothing of a superintendence by the masters . There were in both the same ceremonies upon admission , on entering thc inn , on meeting together , and so forth ; and though
these may be partly explained by the intention of the journeymen thus to enhance in their own eyes the importance of their state , so rich in toil , yet these ceremonies must nevertheless be considered to a great extent as absolutely absurd . As neglect of these formalities was severely punished by the
journeymen , they drew down upon themselves severe enactments from the German Imperial Legislature ; and in France the Compagnons Cordonnicrs et Taillciirs . of Paris fell in consequence under the greater excommunication in 164 S . Especially interesting too , with regard to modern
Trade Unions , is the Craft Gilds' practice of punishment by Schclten , reviling , i . e ., declaring any one infamous . Both master and journeymen were reviled in this manner ; and , indeed , on the most silly grounds , as , for example , when any one had killed a cat or touched a dead dog ; so also for
infringements of Gild principles , as when one enticed away another ' s custom . Indeed , whole Gilds imposed such interdicts upon each other . Every gild and every journeymen ' s fraternity kept a "blacklist . " In this , as well as in the testimonials of travelling journeymen , the names of thc reviled were entered ,
so that the warning against them spread through the whole country . As soon as the journeymen heard of thc occurrence of such a reviling , they turned out of the workshop of the reviled master , or refused to work with the reviled journeyman , until these had made atonement , and were again
recognised as honourable by the governing body of the Gild . This reviling was thc most severe punishment that thc Gilds could inflict on refractory members ; ancl though the strike was not then a legal means of coercion—for the Imperial laws were violently opposed to it—yet this shows that it was at least recognized as such , by thc employers .

INSTALLATION of EARL DE GREY and RIPON as GRAND MASTER .
The installation of Earl Dc . Grcy and Ripon as Grand Master of English Freemasons , took place on Saturday last in the Temple . The gathering of the brethren to witness the ceremony was probably . the largest ever witnessed in thc Craft . More than a thousand ofthe Order were present , and the hall
was so crowded , that long before the arrival of the Grand Officers the doors were closed against allcomers . On obtaining admission almost every inch of ground was occupied , and the brethren had to resign those seats which they had been able to obtain by coming early , and no longer thought of sitting .
After the entrance of the Earl of Zetland , accompanied by the Prince of Wales , and a numerous retinue , every one in the Temple stood up , and in that position formed a dense mass , through which with the greatest difficulty a passage was made for the Earl De Grey and his escort to pass . On thc
dais there was also a great crowd , among the distinguished brethren in that post of eminence being : — The Earl of Dalhousie , G . M . of Scotland ; Lord de Tabley , Prov . G . M . Cheshire ; the Earl of Limerick , Prov . G . M . Bristol * , thc Duke of Manchester ,
