Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the Grand Lodge and of Freemasonry in the District of Columbia "I look on that man as happy who when there is a question of success looks into his work for a reply not into the market not into opinion not into patronage." Emerson. In presenting the "History of the Grand Lodge and of Freemasonry in the District of Columbia" the author conceiving that a brief review of the several previous movements in this direction cannot fail to prove of interest not only as indicating in some degree the difficulties of such an under takings but also as demonstrating the importance the matter has always assumed in the minds of the leaders of our local Crafty premises his introduction with the following historical facts: As early as 1857 Grand Master Whiting having recommended that a history be prepared "to rescue from the past the material facts and incidents connected with the introduction progress and vicissitudes of Masonry within the District of Columbia," a committee to examine into and report upon the expediency of such an undertaking was appointed consisting of Past Grand Master French, D. G. Master Page, and Brother Rheese. This committee, exceptionally well qualified, reported in 1858, heartily favoring the project, and after touching upon the fact that there is in this section a Masonic history anterior to the formation of the Grand Lodge, says: "A history, to be complete and one creditable to this Grand body, should contain all the action, of whatsoever nature, with which the Grand Lodge has had any connection since its organization, and it can only be written after much investigation and much reflection, and it will require much time and labor."
