First published in the The Pall Mall Gazette and the Pall Mall Budget on May 9th 1895. In the Sussex Edition the poem is dated 1894. ORG No. 634. Rudyard Kipling was initiated into the Lodge of Hope and Perseverance No 782 founded in 1858 under the English Constitution at the Masonic Hall the Jadughar as described in Kim in Anarkali Lahore on 5 April 1886 at the age of twenty. As this was the Lodge into which he was initiated it became his Mother Lodge. A Freemason will always have a particular attachment to the Lodge which saw him enter into Freemasonry even though he may cease to be a member of that particular Lodge. The poem was written some eight years later when he was living in Vermont. Charles Carrington in his The Complete Barrack-room Ballads p.166 reports that it was written in a single day on October 29th 1894 while Conan Doyle was staying with the Kiplings. It celebrates the equality which reigns among Freemasons without distinction of profession rank race or creed and the first two stanzas clearly reflect the diversity of this particular Lodge underscored by the refrain which contrasts the behaviour displayed in public with that shown inside the Lodge. The use of vernacular with the dropped �h� highlights the wide social rankings of the members." - See "The Mother Lodge" by George Kieffer 2017 London: Methuen And Co.

A very good original Victorian binding. 8vo. 8.75" x 5.75" x 1.25". pp.24/pp.316/2pp. - Adverts. Blue cloth over bevelled boards with bright gilt titles to front board and to spine wear to top and tail of spine and edges rubbed.

A very good copy of this scarce book. "Thomas Dunckerley was born on 23 October 1724 and died on 19 November 1795. After a naval career Dunckerley became a prominent freemason being appointed Provincial Grand Master of several provinces promoting Royal Arch Masonry introducing Mark Masonry to England and instituting a national body for Templar masonry. This was made possible by an annuity of �100 rising to �800 which he obtained from King George III by claiming to be his illegitimate half brother. Albert Mackey blamed Dunckerley for inventing Royal Arch Masonry and splitting the third degree in the process removing the true word of a mason to the new degree and losing the original "pure" form of the ritual forever. This is unlikely as the Royal Arch degree was worked for at least a decade before Dunckerley's initiation. He published a number of Charges Lectures and songs related to different branches of Freemasonry. Together with Grand Secretary Heseltine and William Preston he campaigned and raised funds for the first dedicated headquarters of English Freemasonry the first Freemason's Hall. During his lifetime he held various high masonic offices: Past Senior Grand Warden of England Provincial Grand Master for the Counties above mentioned and Past Grand Master and Grand Superintendent of Royal Arch Masons over eighteen counties. His major contribution was to the emerging "higher degrees" the Templar Royal Arch Ark Mariner and Mark degrees. Not only did he successfully promote them he organised them standardised their ritual and forced them to keep proper records. For this alone historians of Freemasonry have cause to be grateful to him." - See Wikipedia.

A very good copy of this scarce publication. "James Orchard Halliwell 1820-1889 published over 600 books during his life ranging from 16-page monographs many of which first appeared as magazine articles to a 14-volume commentary on Shakespeare. Born on June 21 1820 Halliwell was the youngest of 4 children of a successful leathercraftsman and merchant. One of his older brothers became a lawyer a profession James was to have frequent dealings with over the years. The young Halliwell was noted as a mathematical prodigy. He also had a special interest in collecting medieval manuscripts at that time still plentiful and cheap at ordinary booksellers. He combined these two traits in his writing and at 16 was producing a column of brief biographies of scientists mainly mathematicians for his school paper. These included such greats as Isaac Newton Roger Bacon Ren� Descartes and Archimedes; and also Charles Butler a notable mathematician but also Halliwell's mentor before he went on to the University. And also Euclid of Alexandria a biography that probably influenced his brief appearance in Masonic lore." - see Masonic Poets " The Halliwell Poem .It was first published in 1840 by Mr James Orchard Halliwell a non-Mason under the title �A Poem on the Constitutions of Masonry�. Mr Halliwell used the only known existing manuscript copy of the original that was kept in the King�s Library of the British Museum; before that it belonged to a well-known collector of the seventeenth century Charles Theyer. Most experts believe that this manuscript originates from between 1425 and 1450 and Mr Halliwell says that it was copied in 1390. A few other people even believe that it is a transcript of the Book of Constitutions adopted by the General Assembly held in York in 926 but this seems very unlikely. The manuscript is in rhythmic verses has 794 lines and the language is very archaic even in relation to other manuscripts of this period." - see An Outsider�s View of Freemasonry by Giles C. H.

[ WOODFORD, Rev Adolphus Frederic Alexander - Editor] .:Biblio.com

The Freemason: A Weekly Journal Of Freemasonry. Literature Science and Art. Vol. XI.

rif. 39102London: Bro. George Kenning 198 Fleet-Street 1878 . A very good original tight binding. Folio. 14.75" 10" x 1.5" . 2pp./pp.8/pp.602 . Brown blind stamped cloth with gilttitle to front board . Boards lightly soiled edges rubbed. Spine dulled with rubbed gilt title. Original yellow endpapers. Inner hinges carefully strengthened. This tome begins with a very useful 8 page index! 52 weekly papers; Jan 5 to Dec 28 1878 pagination is continious. Clean text throughout just a couple of small blemishes. Articles include: Consecration of the Temple Bar Lodge No. 1728 there are reports on the consecration of 31 craft lodges; A note on the safe arrival of Cleopatra's needle; Obituary. Bro. Dr. J. V. Worthington P.M. 220 in all there are 57 obituaries; The New Grand Officers; An Advert for The Ocarina. The New Musical Instrument.; An Advert and report for the Lauch of the Masonic Life-Boat Albert Edward at Clacton-on-Sea; Provincial Grand Lodge Of Suffolk; etc. ". By the 1850s publishers had rapid and reliable access to the whole country in addition time spent travelling by rail created a demand for material to read. The growing number of freemasons were part of an expanding middle class who travelled and read and these factors help to explain why within three years of each other two new weekly masonic newspapers were launched The freemason in 1869 and The freemasons� chronicle in 1872. It is also surely no coincidence that the first weekly masonic publications were launched after the removal of the last of the stamp and paper taxes in 1855 and 1861 respectively commonly referred to as the taxes on knowledge. As Brake points out after these taxes were abolished there was a rise in daily and weekly serials. The newspaper reported freemasons� involvement in national events for example in the issue for the 27th October 1877 there is a notice concerning the Freemasons Indian Famine Fund. The regular column �Masonic and general tidings� always tended to include items of general interest such as short reviews of good restaurants in London and details of the Lord Mayor�s show. By the 1880s the newspaper had a special column which reviewed the plays on in the London theatres. A further indication of the leisure activities and interests of those who read the newspaper. The newspaper always included reports of lodge meetings with a section specifically for London lodges. These reports often give a detailed account of an event or a meeting listing individuals who attended and can be a very useful source of information about London freemasons and masonic life. Similarly the obituaries some of which are very detailed and include pictures provide insight into an aspect of a man�s life which in many cases has remained hidden. Between 1873 and 1885 the Rev. Adolphus Frederic Alexander Woodford acted as editor. Woodford was a formidable masonic scholar and drew around him some of the great masonic scholars of the time. As a result articles by such men began to appear in the newspapers pages and helped to ignite a lively debate about the accepted views of masonic history. The newspaper was reflecting the interests and concerns of a growing number of freemasons who were believed in a more disciplined and erudite approach to masonic history. In 1886 a year after Woodford stepped down as editor Quatuor Coronati Lodge No. 2076 was formed with the aim of being the premier research Lodge and Woodford was one of its founding members. The newspaper demonstrated that a new approach to the history of freemasonry was in demand by the brethren and the success of the research lodge which still exists today built on the foundations which the paper had laid." - See Fraternal Communications: The Rise Of The English Masonic Periodical by Rebecca Coombes 2009 . George Kenning. The son of an East End oyster seller Kenning realised the potential of the market: he not only manufactured the costumes but sold a range of products from his shops across Britain. He set up a mail order business which operated across the British Empire and was keen to develop new markets in the USA. He became a media magnate and advertised in his own widely read newspaper: The Freemason. He even extended the brand by becoming closely involved in developing new Masonic orders all of which needed special costumes and props. London: Bro.
