The "Gould" Testimonial.
THE "GOULD" TESTIMONIAL .
T N the opinion of many Brethren , the time has arrived when the long-continued services of Bro . ROBEKT 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 ; " and last , though not least , of " The History of Freemasonry , " which is admitted by all authorities to be the ablest and best Masonic work ever written . Since its production , it is no longer possible to affirm , as has been 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 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 , who in this way will best evince a genuine appreciation of his unexampled labours . In pursuance of the above obiect the undermentioned brethren have therefore 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 . R ALPH GOODING , P . G . D ., Hon . Sec . and ad interim Treasurer , Heath Lodge , The Grove , Blackhsath , S . E ., and will be duly acknowledged .
