a cordial welcome and express q hope
that his work among us may be pleasant
and successful. We take great pleasure
in introducing him to our readers.
The authors advance copy of the new
historical work History of Frcemasonry
and COncordant ORDERS" written by a
board of editors so in number, of whom
H. l.. Stillson of the BANNER is editor

1t is published by the Fraternity Pub.
fishing Company, Boston. The book
contains 904 pages, has 40 illustrations
and the first edition is already sold with
several thousand of the second edition.
The work is certainly unique in plan and
from the eminence of its authors must
become one of the standard histories OF
the century.
