Whymper's "Religion Of Freemasonry."
Reference is made to the beautiful frontispiece by Cipriani , and engraved by Bartolozzi , in Constitutions of 1784 , the work being distinctly f hristian in tendency . Bro . Whymper does not seem to be aware that there is no lack of evidence as to the Masonic career of both those artists , they having been for some years members of the Lodge of the " Nine Muses , " London . The plate in Bro . Whymper ' s work is certainly most
curious and suggestive , and is quite new to us , and possibly refers to the Royal Arch . Under the heading of "Lectures" and " Ritual , " an immense amount 0 f information is afforded , but we must not unduly extend our sketch of the work , or else we should refer at length to many of the details of these two interesting chapters , as also to the next , on " The Volume of the Sacred Law , " as well as consider at length the interesting and curious illustration which adorns the work above noted .
We are pleased to see the statement from the author that he believes " the result of any enquiry will be to show that all Masonry in India , if not in Asia , has been imported from England , " especially , so are we glad of such a verdict , as he knows well what he is writing about , but of late years it has been the fashion for some to talk as if a similar Society to our own has existed in India for centuries !
But the real pith of the work is to be found in the later chapters , to which we must refer our readers , so that they may judge for themselves . All we desire to say now is that there is nothing like the Book to be found elsewhere , it is sui generis , and what is still more , a sure guide to the views of all the trusted Masonic writers and historians for a century and a half
or more , on the subject ; and besides , above all , contains the matured and honest opinions of an enthusiastic Freemason , who sees " Rocks ahead , " and has the courage of his convictions to speak out fearlessly and unmistakeably as to the causes of the probable difficulties that must be faced and dealt with sooner or later .
The volume has been ably edited by the indefatigable Secretary of the "Quatuor Coronati" Lodge , No . 2076 ( Bro . G . W . Speth ) , as the author had to return to India , so the MS was placed in his hands and prepared for Bro . George Kenning , the Printer and Publisher . An introduction by Bro . W . J .

Whymper's "Religion Of Freemasonry."
Reference is made to the beautiful frontispiece by Cipriani , and engraved by Bartolozzi , in Constitutions of 1784 , the work being distinctly f hristian in tendency . Bro . Whymper does not seem to be aware that there is no lack of evidence as to the Masonic career of both those artists , they having been for some years members of the Lodge of the " Nine Muses , " London . The plate in Bro . Whymper ' s work is certainly most
curious and suggestive , and is quite new to us , and possibly refers to the Royal Arch . Under the heading of "Lectures" and " Ritual , " an immense amount 0 f information is afforded , but we must not unduly extend our sketch of the work , or else we should refer at length to many of the details of these two interesting chapters , as also to the next , on " The Volume of the Sacred Law , " as well as consider at length the interesting and curious illustration which adorns the work above noted .
We are pleased to see the statement from the author that he believes " the result of any enquiry will be to show that all Masonry in India , if not in Asia , has been imported from England , " especially , so are we glad of such a verdict , as he knows well what he is writing about , but of late years it has been the fashion for some to talk as if a similar Society to our own has existed in India for centuries !
But the real pith of the work is to be found in the later chapters , to which we must refer our readers , so that they may judge for themselves . All we desire to say now is that there is nothing like the Book to be found elsewhere , it is sui generis , and what is still more , a sure guide to the views of all the trusted Masonic writers and historians for a century and a half
or more , on the subject ; and besides , above all , contains the matured and honest opinions of an enthusiastic Freemason , who sees " Rocks ahead , " and has the courage of his convictions to speak out fearlessly and unmistakeably as to the causes of the probable difficulties that must be faced and dealt with sooner or later .
The volume has been ably edited by the indefatigable Secretary of the "Quatuor Coronati" Lodge , No . 2076 ( Bro . G . W . Speth ) , as the author had to return to India , so the MS was placed in his hands and prepared for Bro . George Kenning , the Printer and Publisher . An introduction by Bro . W . J .
