Synopsis

Official Proceedings and Constitutions from the Grand Commandery of Massachusetts and Rhode Island This historical volume compiles the year-by-year records, constitutions, and key rulings of Knights Templar and allied orders in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. It includes annual addresses, officer lists, financial reports, and the rules that shaped subordinate commanderies, as well as biographical sketches and notices from past leaders. A detailed snapshot of 19th‑century fraternal governance and ritual practice.

The book presents a window into how this Masonic body organized, dispensed charters and dispensations, and guided local temples through rituals, resolutions, and governance. It covers both formal constitutional sections and the practical workings of assemblies, from opening ceremonies to installation of officers and annual addresses. Readers will find procedural clarity alongside period etiquette and ceremonial materials.




  • Constitutional norms for commanderies, grand bodies, and encampments, including duties and elections.

  • Records of annual and semi-annual assemblies, with officer lineups and key committee work.

  • Discussions on regalia, dues, per-capita taxes, and the Grand Fund, reflecting financial governance.

  • Biographical sketches and portraits related to notable members and leaders of the era.



Ideal for researchers of fraternal history, Masonic-era governance, and regional religious‑fraternal organizations of the 19th century.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. 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.
