Histories Of Lodges.

Histories of Lodges .

( J 6 nalan & . )

§ HE desirability of compiling a Bibliography of Histories of Lodges has several times been suggested to me , but from various causes I have been unable to do so until now ; the material being wholly taken from my own Collection , which is believed to be the only complete one in this country . ^ . ^ The Histories of Lodges and Provincial Grand Lodges , are very often most valuable to Masonic students ,

because of the numerous references in such works to the Craft meetings in early days , and for the curious and interesting particulars respecting ancient regulations , ceremonies , customs , and other points in the minutes of old lodges thus noted and published .

l'roni these we may find that the oldest preserved minute book of an old English lodge begins in the year 1701 ( Alnwick ) : the venerable lodge at York ( which afterwards blossomed into a Grand Lodge ) having no records extant prior to 1712 ( No . 236 ; " Apollo , " Ac . ) ; the oldest known ori ginal warrant to constitute of the Grand Lodge of England , formed in 1717 , bears dates llth Jul y , 1732 ( No .

39 ) , thc custom in the Metropolis being at that period to issue no charters , but simply to notify the acceptance by the M . W . G . M . of the petitions ( Nos . 58 and 60 ) . Other lodges were at work besides the four or more old lodges prior to 1717 , and apparently continued independent for some time ( Nos . 48 , 124 ,- 157 ) , while some never united with the Grand Lodge ( Alnwick ) .

Though Deacons were not officiall y recognised by the "Modems , " they were appointed by some lodges of that organisation notwithstanding ( No . 61 ) , and not a few patronised the Royal Arch , though not adopted until the Union of December 1 S 13 , from 1762-65 ( "Apollo ; " 61 , Ac ) .

The motto of the Grand Lodge seal in 1732-3 , is very remarkable ( Nos . 37 , 39 , 41 and 42 ) , and several of the old medals mentioned in various histories are most suggestive ( Nos . 178 , 235 , 246 ; Sussex , Arc . ) . Lodges having copies of the " Old Charges " are duly referred to ( Nos . 61 , 157 , 236 , " Masonic Sketches , Ac ) , and a few of the Histories are notable , because of the lodges in question being so connected with Royalty ( Nos . 16 , 33 , and 259 ) .

These indications of the value and importance of Histories of Lodges will serve to justify my presenting a Bibliographical list of them , and will , I hope , induce competent brethren to do a similar good work for their lodges , if old and noteworthy , which have not yet had their records made known in such a useful and instructive manner . The expense of printing is not heavy , and may be met in part by throwing open the subscri ption list to thc Craft , many brethren being always ready to aid in such an enterprise .
