The "Gould" Testimonial.

THE "GOULD" TESTIMONIAL .

In the opinion of many Brethren the time has arrived when the long-continued services of Bro . ROBERT FREKE GOULD . P . G . D ., to the literature of the Craft merit a more than passing acknowledgment . Entering this field of labour so far back as 1858 , he was for many years a contributor to the Masonic journals , but he will be best known as the author of " The Four Old Lodges , " " The Atholl Lodges , " . ind last , though not least , of " The History of Freemasonry" which is admitted by all authorities to be the ablest and best Masonic Avork ever written . Since its

, production it is no longer possible to affirm , as has teen constantly done by foes and friends alike , that the 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 a movement which A \ ill SIIOAV 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 , who , in this Avay , will best evince a genuine

appreciation of his unexampled labours . In pursuance of the above object the undermentioned Brethren have formed themselves into a Committee . Individual Subscriptions ( but not those of Lodges or other Bodies ) are limited to One Guinea . Contributions to the Fund may be sent to Dr . RALPH GOODING , P . G . D ., Hon . Sec . and ad interim Treasurer ( Heath Lodge , The Grove , Blackheath , S . E . ) , and will be duly acknowledged .
