This book has been considered by academicians and scholars of great significance and value to literature. This forms a part of the knowledge base for future generations. We have represented this book in the same form as it was first published. Hence any marks seen are left intentionally to preserve its true nature.

A facsimile reprint, issued in 2000, of the original second edition of this remarkable work published in 1895, plus a new introduction. This is a listing of all the lodges, at home and abroad, warranted by the Four Grand Lodges and the 'Union Grand Lodge' of England with their dates of constitution, places of meeting, alteration in numbers and much more for the years of growth of the movement from 1717 to 1894. The Masonic records are divided into sections and include all those constituted or warranted abroad, but never registered in the Books of the Grand Lodge. This is an invaluable reference source for historians researching the Masonic Lodges of the past, many of which are still in operation.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
