Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Freemasonry in the Thirteen Colonies
The publication of the original chapters in the Grand Lodge Bulletin of Iowa brought the author most wel come and valuable comments from his colleagues in the Masonic library and periodical field. Appropriate cor rections have been made in the present volume where such were called for; new matter was received which has been added wherever advisable. Yet to include all the information submitted would require an augmenta tion of the volume far exceeding its primary scope and purpose; the complete recital belongs more properly to the larger individual histories of each jurisdiction affected. The temptation also existed to include matter related to ritual and jurisprudence; but these are sub jects worthy of separate treatment, with due considera tion for the limitations which Masonic propriety and the recognized conservatism of the Masonic institution impose upon Craft writers.
