A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Dunckerley at the age of ten years selected the motto, Honestas etF crlitudo is of little matter. It cannot, however, be denied that his life was ruled by the principles it teaches, and it would be a pity if such man should be forgotten. That his services to Freemasonry were great is certain, as also that they were fully appreciated by theM asons of his own time. To him Masonry was not a pastime or amusement for idle hours. When, in his letters, he invites to his Lodge any serious brother, he evidently expresses his own view of the craft. It is a serious subject, and one with which he might well join his motto Honestas etF ortitude The life of a brother, who devoted his time, thoughts, intellect, and substance to the craft, and literally died in harness, can never be without interest to the thinking Mason. In my opinion, therefore, it was a good thought of Brother Sadler when he had the opportunity of gathering together such a series of Masonic memorials, to place them in our hands in a collected and convenient form.

We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
