Book Description
Excerpt from A Text Book of Masonic Jurisprudence: Illustrating the Written and Unwritten Laws of Freemasonry Four years ago I wrote, and soon after published, a treatise on the "Principles of Masonic Law," which was received by the Fraternity with a readiness that convinced me I had not miscalculated the necessity of such a work. In the composition of it I was entering upon a field of Masonic Literature which had, up to that time, been traversed by no other writer. There was, it is true, an abundance of authorities scattered over thousands of pages of Grand Lodge Proceedings, and contained in the obiter dicta of Grand Masters' Addresses, and the reports of Committees on Foreign Correspondence. But these authorities were often of a conflicting character, and as often were repugnant to my sense of justice, and to the views I had long entertained of the spirit of equity and reason which pervaded the Masonic Institution.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1872 edition. Excerpt: ... Lodge are laid down in the installation service as follows: He is required to he "of good morals, of great skill, true and trusty, aud a lover of the whole fraternity." There is much significance in this language: it portrays the qualifications of a Master under the three-fold heads of moral, intellectual, and social. He is required, in the first place, to be " of good morals."

Quart. lien, of Freemamnry, vol. i. p. 202. Thus, too, Aristotle Bays, " he who is to govern (the uv) must be perfect in ( DEGREESdiKa apery) moral virtue."--PoL lib. i. cap. ziii. by the uninitiated as a fair exponent. Mankind will very naturally presume that the members of a moral institution would hardly confer so important a trust upon an immoral or licentious...
