Rese�a del editor

As legendary lore the world over, has been founded to some extent upon occuri ences more or less distorted in the narration, it is ever the duty of the historian to sift the traditions as well as to collect the I ecords pertaining to the suhjtH twith which he is dealing; and so far as those traditions may fairly throw light upon that subje(!t, he is entitknl to avail himself of their aid, distinguishing in his narrative between that of which he can furnish proof, and that which can only be inferred from circumstances. In addressing myself to the task of conijiiling aM asonic History of Northiind)erland, I have endeavoured to keep this duty in view ;knowing so well the extent to wliih the early history of our Order has been obscured by extravagant claims and fanciful stories The Northumbrian border-hind is rich in material from which theM asonic student may construct, not only theories, but actualities regarding the Craft. True, in some instances the j)r()cess of construction must be tliat of the naturalist who has but the thigh-bone of an extinct bird from which to conjure up the form and characteiisties of tlie original creature; but with patient attention to detail and a knowledge of the environments and recjuii enjents of the subje(tt matter, the task is not an impossible one. The genesis of the ])resent histoiy may be taken to be the collection of all matters of record bearing upon (laft Masonry in the province, from 1725 to 1875, undertaken and carried out, at the request of the Provincu al Grand Lodge under I virl Peicy, by my brother, T. Y.
