STANDARD WORKS ON FREEMASONRY . ( g Q KENNING'S CYCLOPAEDIA OF FREEMASONRY—It having been forcibly represented to Bvo . George Kenning that thc present price of his Masonic Cyclopaedia has acted as a "deterrent" to many of the Craft , and that . 1 lower amount might induce many brethren to purchase so compendious and complete a work of Masonic reference , he has determined , in order to meet these representations and extend thc study of Masonic Literature , to make a considerable sacrifice as well as a liberal offer to the Cosmopolitan Craft . If he can receive the namcj of 2000 brethren at 5 s . Gd . each , he will issue , early in May , the " Cyclopaedia of Freemasonry" in a plain cloth binding , and post free to all such subscribers . The subscription list will remain open until May ist . As this is a bona fide offer , it will not be repeated , for the advantage to the subscribers is so great as not to require further remarks . Bro . Kenning has still copies of the 10 s . Gd . issue on hand in the original binding . A circular will , in proper course , be sent to all the lodges , and names may be transmitted forthwith to Bro . W . Lake , igS , Fleetstreet , London , E . C . If the applications for the ncw issue should render it necessary , the book may be delivered even before May .

Handsomely printed in antique type , large 4 to , cloth , 7 s . Cd . KENNING'S ARCHAEOLOGICAL LIBRARY . Edited by Rev , A . F . A . WOODFORD , Past Grand Chaplain . Vol . I . contains Anderson's Constitutions of 1723 , being the first completereprint in England of that memorable book . It is admirably printed and illustrated as it was first issued , and will be found a work of the greatest interest to all Masons , and especially to those who like still to pore over the ancient records of the Craft . The Wilson MS . Constitutions , which forms the Second Part of Vol . I ., is also o £ much value to antiquarians and the Craft . It is first mentioned in the manifesto of the " Lodge of Antiquity " in 177 S , and the story o £ its discovery by the editor has been told in the pages of the Freemason . It is hoped that this will lead to thc discovery of missing MSS ., and the future volumes of the " Archaeological Library " will lead . Masonic students to a clearer conception of the real history of Freemasonry and the true bearing of its very curious and ancient MSS .

Svo , clotb , Third edition , revised and enlarged , 15 s . THE EARLY HISTORY AND ANTIQUITIES OF FREEMASONRY . As connected with the Nors Guilds , thc Oriental and Medieval building Fraternity . By GEORGE F . FORT . EXTRACT FROM AUTHOR ' S PREPACK . The Work is thc result of years of labour , whose original and persistent design has uniformly been to arrive at truth . In no instance are traditions resting on unsubstantial ground adduced as corroborative testimony of the line of research which , after careful examination of facts , " he has adopted . Merc legends or guildic tales do not appear in this book , unless produced in that portion of thc treatise abandoned expressly to thc traditional history of the Fraternity . In a word , thc constant and invariable tendency of the author in the ensuing pages is to bring the history and antiquities of thc Craft down to an undisputed historical basis ; and , in the pursuance of this subject , he was frequently compelled to abandon the usual track followed by writers on this subject , and to rely upon authorities whose testimony—found noted in the margin—will be accepted without suspicion of intemperate or uncritical zeal . The immediate argument and scope of the treatise may be briefly stated as follows : To commence with a narrative of the state of fine arts at thc decline of the Roman Empire , ancl also of thc propagation of architecture and its kindred sciences by bodies of builders , who developed into the Middle-Age Freemasons , whose history is carried down to the formal extinction of the society as an operative brotherhood in the year 1717 . Among the several appendices will be found a contribution to the Histoy of the Lost Word , together with other valuable documentary evidence , which is added to make the same more acceptable to the public and Fraternity at large .
