1880187246London: c.1880. Rare and unrecorded First edition one of 30 copies of this illustrated collection of shop signs or locations of Masonic lodges in London in the 18th century. The frontispiece comprises a full-page illustration titled "Ceremony of Making a 'Mason'". We can trace only two copies in libraries both in the Museum of Freemasonry in London. The volume is unrecorded in standard Masonic bibliographies. The preface notes that the compilation relies on a "rare and unknown. work of the early 18th century". The text is signed in black ink by H.S. with an additional note that the book is "privately printed and colored by F. Cornman". The Museum of Freemasonry supplies a suggested name of Frederick. The work is similar to John Pine's A List of Regular Lodges According to their Senority & Constitution published around 1730 which was the first printed directory of Masonic lodges. The preface of the present volume promises "a further contribution" on the subject matter and with publication in 1889 of John Lane's A Handy Book to the Study of the Engraved Printed and Manuscript Lists of Lodges of Ancient Free & Accepted Aasons of England. from 1723 to 1814 it is tempting to ascribe some responsibility in the current volume to Lane.

Spine worn with tears and some loss corners worn creases to endpapers browning to free endpapers short tears to front hinge: a very good copy. hardcover
