The "Gould " Testimonial.

THE "GOULD " TESTIMONIAL .

Li ilio opinion of many Bretliren the time Las . arrived when the long-continued services of Bro . ROB-RT FREKE GOULD , P . G . D ., to the literature of the Craft merit a more than passing acknowledgment . Entering « is field of labour so far hack as 18 f > 8 , he Avas for many years a contributor to the Masonic -journals , but he will be b < st known as

the author of "The Four Old Lodges , " " The Atholl Lodges , " and last , though not least , of "Tie History of Freemasonry , " which is admitted by all authorities to be the ablest and best Masonic work ever writ-en . Since its production it is no longer possible to affirm , as has been constantly done by foes and friends alike , that tie great body of Freemasons are without a reliable and critical history of their Society .

It is hoped that the Brethren , whose names are subjoined , may prove to be the pioneers of ? movement which will show to Bro . GOULD that the long years of study and research which he has devoted to the interest of Freemasonry are deemed worthy of substantial recognition by the Craft universal , AA'ho , in this way , will be't evince a genuine appreciation of his unexampled labours .

In pursuance of the aboA e object the undermentioned Brethren have formed themselves in » a Committee . Individual Subscriptions ( but not those of Lodges or other Bodies ) are limited to One Guiiea . Contributions to the Fund may be sent to Br . RALPH GOODIXG , B . G . D ., Hon . Sec . aid « d interim Treasurer ( Heath Lodge , The Grove , Blackheath , S . E . 1 , and will be duly acknoAvledged .
