Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Minutes of the Right Worshipful Grand Lodge of the Most Ancient Nad Honorable Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons of Pennsylvania and Masonic Jurisdiction Thereunto Belonging, -12, Vol. 7: 1779 to 1880
This volume, the seventh issued under the direction of the Committee on Library, contains the Minutes of the Right Wor shipful Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania F. And A. M. From 1840 to 1848, both inclusive.
The volumes previously published were designated Reprints of the Minutes, etc. Which title has been changed, as above, because this is the first time that the Minutes of the Grand Lodge are printed in full.
The years covered by Volume VII are. Those immediately following the anti-masonic excitement, which had its rise in the State of New York in 1826, and which reached its climax in our own State in 1836.
The ostensible cause of this persecution, the character of its proceedings, the violence and madness of its advocates, and its final ending are too well known to need recital here.
