Provincial Masonic Calendars .

rg nissiSBrjr fiffl'fl :: . fev ( f | s . N the "Freemason" l ' oi' June 16 th , 1883 , I gave ; t MM . SSffl-:- full account of "Provincial Masonio Directories , " iPlf n i iU 1 ( l ou April Oth , 1887 , another article on the : . $ S § jJ 1 J |&| :. subject . Sonne ol' my friends consider it is high j aSXA-SSMal time a third contribution wns written , so as to make the trio and bring the particulars down to

date , thc following being my response to their wishes : The list is restricted to Calendars , Manuals , or Directories of Provincial Grand Lodges , published officially or privately . There are some excellent Lodge Annuals also printed , especially those by

13 ro . M . C . Peck , of Hull , and the two Calendars for England , etc —the Grand Lodge and the " Cosmopolitan "—also call for attention . As to the latter two brief reviews by me will be found in "Freemason , " ,, l' December Sth . 1894 . There is also the " Mark " Annual .

It will be seen that in the following pages some old favourites have been omitted owing to lack of local support . Though their room is occupied by new candidates , I would much rather have been

able to notice their presence and activity as heretofore , especially such as the mult tun in parvo series , so long presented annually to the county of Yorkshire ( embracing both Provinces ) , by my esteemed friend , Bro . T . B . Whytehead .
