1st edition. "The subject of Secret Societies is one which has inspired the pen of many authors.Many have been formed for revolutionary purposes and few have escaped a political tinge. One of these Societies has, however, developed in a special manner on British soil. It has avoided the objectionable features of similar bodies on the mainland of Europe and steered clear of all the pitfalls of polemical and political controversy. This body is the Masonic Fraternity which in all its branches has taught its members to reverence patriotism, to respect law, to tolerate the failings of others and generally to be good citizens."

Watkins, London) to front free endpaper, toning to endpaper occasional spotting throughout. Blue cloth, gilt motIf to front, gilt title to spine, spine dulled, uneven fading to boards. Scarce. G+.
