A ., P _ st Grand Chaplain . This Work treats fully on Masonic History and Archfeology up to the present time , and contains all subjects which fairly form part of a Masonic Cyclopaedia .

It is hoped , however , that this new publication will be found both condensed and yet comprehensive , lucid in statement , and complete in treatment , and that it wiH become a real and portable iiade mecum for English , Scottish , and Irish Freemasons . No efforts have been spared to make it worthy of our great Order . OPINIONS OF THE PRESS .
