Synopsis
Excerpt from A General History of Freemasonry: Based Upon the Ancient Documents Relating to and the Monuments Erected by This Fraternity, From Its Foundation, in the Year 715 B. To the Present Time
A connection of several years with the Masonic press, during two of which he edited and published The American Freemason s Magazine, afforded the translator of this work opportunities for reading all that in the English language had been published concerning the origin and history of Freemasonry, of valuing all that was reasonable, and rejecting much that was traditional, apochryphal, romantic and false. In 1861, and after he had, in consequence of the then disturbed condition of the country, suspended the publication of his magazine, he accidentally became introduced by a brother of rank and education in the Fraternity at New York to the earlier work of Bro. Rebold, and after a hasty perusal, stored it among the few effects of a citizen soldier for future and, should opportunity offer, more leisure study. From that study, within the past year, the decision to translate and publish had been evolved, when he became possessed of the later work of Bro. Rebold, and from both he has compiled that which he now presents and dedicates to the Fraternity in America. In doing so, his conviction is fixed that at no previous time has he been able to benefit that Fraternity to so great a degree ad he now does, by translating and publishing this work.
