Of the Reprint of the Minutes brings the work down to the year 1822. The period covered by this volume is a very important one to the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania. The craft sustained a severe loss in the destruction of the Masonic Hall on Chestnut street by fire in the year 1819, an account of which is given in this volume. Steps were taken at once to build the second Chestnut Street Hall, and all the arrangements were recorded very fully in the Minutes. The new Hall was dedicated and consecrated on November 1, 1820, with great pomp and cere mony, and the account given is very full and complete. Over thirty Lodges received warrants during the period covered by this volume. The reports of the committees appointed on various matters are given in full in the Minutes, and many of them are of more than ordinary interest to the reader, and the same can be said of many of the resolutions on different questions that were presented for consideration. The import ant reports and resolutions are all indexed. The question of the establishment of a General Grand Lodge was discussed and acted on by the Grand Lodge, and the first steps were taken on a number of important matters, among them being the establishment of a Masonic Library, a Charity Fund, the appointment of District Deputy Grand Masters and the organization of a School of Instruction. The Committee is indebted to Washington Lodge, No. 59, of Philadelphia, for the plates of the illustrations that appear in this volume, as well as the illustrations of the different Masonic Halls that have been printed in the former volumes.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Reprint of the Minutes of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Pennsylvania, Vol. 2: 1801 to 1810 The Second Volume of the Reprint of the Proceedings of the Grand Lodge covers the years from 1801 to 1810, inclusive. We have reached the point in the Proceedings of the Grand Lodge when, on account of there being a larger number of Lodges, more business was transacted, and more 'space required to record the proceedings. They lose nothing of their interest, however, by being recorded more fully, but, on the other hand, it makes the work all the more interesting as a historical work, both as regards the Grand Lodge and the Subordinate Lodges in Pennsylvania. During the period that James Milnor was R. W. Grand Master, (1806 the Grand Officers began to pay more attention to the Subordinate Lodges in the way of visitations, and in this vol ume will be found several of Grand Master Milnor's addresses de livered on those occasions. They are able papers, and contain advice that is as applicable to-day to the Lodges in Pennsylvania as it was eighty-five years ago.

Of the Reprint of the Minutes of the Grand Lodge covers the years from 1811 to 1816, inclusive. This Volume is probably more interesting than either of the preceding volumes. It contains much interesting matter in regard to the first Chestnut Street Hall, giving a full account of the dedication, the first meeting the Grand Lodge held in the Hall, as well as the music, addresses, and toasts at the various ceremonies attendant to the dedication. It also gives a full report of the committee in charge of the erection of the building. It contains notices of the death of Brother Jonathan Bayard Smith, who was first elected Grand Master in 1788, and who served a number of terms Brother Peter Le Barbier Duplessis, who was elected Grand Secretary in 1789, and who took a very active interest in the Grand Lodge for about thirty years, and Brother George A. Baker, who served as Grand Secretary for twenty years from 1796, and who was the first Grand Secretary to systematize the work of that office. In the preparation of this volume, as in the preceding vol umes, care has been taken to give an exact reproduction of the minutes, so far as it is possible to do the work in type. The compiler, seeking the advice of prominent literary people, who have been engaged in similar work, and consulting with his fellow members of the Committee on Library, has had the minutes printed just as they are recorded. In some instances misspelled words as well as grammatical errors occur, but the reader can feel sure they are printed in the book just as they are recorded in the original minutes.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Reprint of the Minutes of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Pennsylvania, Vol. 5 Volume V. of the Reprint of the Minutes begins with the meeting on June 17, 1822 and ends with the last meeting of the year 1827. It was during this period that the Grand Holy Royal Arch Chapter of Pennsylvania was allowed by a resolution adopted by the Grand Lodge, to make their own rules and regulations for the government of Royal Arch Masonry in Pennsylvania and receive fees for granting warrants to subordinate Chapters under their jurisdiction. The legislation whereby this important change was effected extends over a period of years. A Grand Lecturer was appointed and paid for visiting the Lodges throughout the State, and the report of his visitations as well as the general report in regard to minutes, elections, initiations, rejections, etc., is a very interesting paper. The visit of General La Fayette to the Grand Lodge, his being constituted a member, the addresses delivered on that occasion, and the banquet, all make a meeting of more than ordinary interest. It was also during this period that a number of country Lodges rebelled to a certain extend against the power of the Grand Lodge and the warrants of several Lodges were taken up on this account. A full account of how the differences existing were finally settled is given, together with the action of a number of subordinate Lodges on the question. The organization of a General Grand Lodge came up frequently in the reports of other Grand Lodges. This volume will be found fully as interesting to the brethren as the preceding volumes.

The volumes previously published were designated Reprints of the Minutes, etc. Which title has been changed, as above, because this is the first time that the Minutes of the Grand Lodge are printed in full. The years covered by Volume VII are. Those immediately following the anti-masonic excitement, which had its rise in the State of New York in 1826, and which reached its climax in our own State in 1836. The ostensible cause of this persecution, the character of its proceedings, the violence and madness of its advocates, and its final ending are too well known to need recital here.
