1 have found it extremel y dillicult to decide as to what class of publications should be included in this Bibliography , and do not anticipate that my List will full y meet the wishes of all students , though every known separate issue of an English Lodge History is believed to be included .

Many Masonic Works give more particulars about some Lodges than are lo be found in their special Histories . Of such , mention should be nia . de of Bro . Gould ' s " History of Freemasonry , " " Four Old Lodges . " and "Atholl fridges ; " Bvo . John Lane ' s " " Masonic

Records , 1717—1836 , " and "Centenary Warrants and Jewels : " Bro . IT . Sadler ' s "Life of Thomas Dunckerley , " and my "Masonic Register" and "Engraved List of Lidges , A .

Christmas , 1891 .

Lead me 0 , lustrous Star which led The three kinga to Christ ' s manger-bod , That I may give their gifts of old . The three , Myri-h , Frankincense , and Gold . '

May memory sweet as Myrrh awake , And soften hearts for old love ' s sake , Thai they this Christinastide may know The Peace and Joy of long ago .

Christmas, 1891.

May ilreinns as Frankincense arise To clothe with angels' wings the skies : Doubt and all discords then shall cease . And Christinas chimes ring onlv Pence .

May love that fears no gloom or cold . Be my third gift , of pure bright gold , Gold by no grosser part alloyed , But e ' er untarnish'd , undestroyed !

Christmas, 1891.

So bring I , fraught wilh true desire , M y ( ri pple gifts beside your fire , Let me a welcome guest remain . Nor bid me forth to fare again .

I hough all unseen with you I stay , My gifts shall never puss away , While memory , dreams , and love enfold With Myrrh , and Frankincense , and Gold . WILL EDWARDES-SPRANGE-
