Dear Reader, This book was referenced in one of the 185 issues of 'The Builder' Magazine which was published between January 1915 and May 1930. To celebrate the centennial of this publication, the Pictoumasons website presents a complete set of indexed issues of the magazine. As far as the editor was able to, books which were suggested to the reader have been searched for on the internet and included in 'The Builder' library.' This is a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by one of several organizations as part of a project to make the world's books discoverable online. Wherever possible, the source and original scanner identification has been retained. Only blank pages have been removed and this header- page added. The original book has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books belong to the public and 'pictoumasons' makes no claim of ownership to any of the books in this library; we are merely their custodians. Often, marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in these files – a reminder of this book's long journey from the publisher to a library and finally to you. Since you are reading this book now, you can probably also keep a copy of it on your computer, so we ask you to Keep it legal. Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just because we believe a book to be in the public domain for users in Canada, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in 'The Builder' library means it can be used in any manner anywhere in the world.

Provincial Grand Master of Worcestershire. DEDICATION. Uo Siv EftmnnD Hntbonu lbarle\? Xecfomere, JBart., fllb.p., Riijht Worshipful l'ruvinciul Grand Master of Worcestershire. Right Wukshu'ful Sir, I feel that there is no one to whom I can so jn/operly dedicate this work as yourself. The Worcester Masonic Exhibition, my initial effort to awaken the interest of the Brethren of our Province in the Archaeological History of the Craft, received from you such deep sympathy as to encourage me to form what should eventually become a permanent Masonic Library and Museum for Worcestershire. Although the accomplishment of that project entailed heavy labour, it was full of interest and instruction to myself, and served as a necessary education for the task of preparing this Catalogue. I regret the publication has been delayed so long, but you will I feel sure on perusing its pag'es readily understand the reason, considering the hours it has taken from a life of little leisure. The scheme would certainly have failed in accomplishment bat for the incentive given by your constant, kindly, and thoughtful interest, not only as regards this Catalogue, but in the formation of the collection and its acquisition by the Province. I can only join with you in hoping that the perusal of this work will promote a desire among the Brethren to make themselves thoroughly conversant with its contents, and to take measures for acquiring additions thereto, both by personal effort, and contributions to a Fund for that purpose. Permit mo to thank you for assenting to this Dedication, and to the inclusion of your Portrait, a feature which I feel sure will much gratify all who acknowledge your Masonic rule. I am, Eight Worshipful Pro v. CM., \ Yours faithfully and fraternally, GEORGE TAYLOR. Bkacebridge House, KiDDEBMiNSTiiit. August 19th, 1891. INTRODUCTION. ^'HE following Catalogue edited by Bro. George Taylor—from whom the Collection was purchased—will add much to the usefulness of this exceedingly valuable Library and Museum. The full Titles and descriptions of the chief Works and Medals being given, and Bibliographical Notes being added to those Books and MSS. of more than ordinary importance or rarity, renders a lengthy introduction wholly unnecessary. A few words, however, will not be amiss respecting the origin of the Collection. A Masonic Exhibition, opened by a Soiree, was held at the Guildhall, Worcester, on the occasion of the meeting of the Provincial Graud Lodge of Worcestershire, in August, 1884, under the auspices, and by the joint invitation of, the R.W. Bro. Sir Edmund A. H. Lecumeke, Bart., H.P., Provincial Graud Master, &c, and his Worship the Mayor of the City, the W. Bro. William B. Williamson, whose hospitality contributed in no small degree to the great success of the combined objects. A Catalogue of the numerous and costly Exhibits on this occasion was edited by Bro. Taylor, upon whom devolved the heavy labour and responsibility of obtaining the loan of many hundreds of Books, Medals and Curios from nearly one hundred and fifty Brethren. Bro. Taylor embraced every opportunity of purchasing articles of value prior to the Inauguration Day, and subsequently continued to acquire, from all parts of the world, so many scarce Books and Medals as to form a grand collection, the chief or principal part of which was exhibited and described by him during the " Masonic Week at Kidderminster," in March, 1886, and the whole of which was, later on, acquired by the Provincial Grand Lodge of Worcestershire at cost price, from that indefatigable and enthusiastic Craftsman, who bore all the heavy cost of collection himself, as well as subsequently making numerous and valuable presentations. Vlll. The esteemed Prov. Grand Master has been most generous in his donations, and other Brethren have gladly co-operated so as to make the Library and Museum one of the most important of the kind in this country. In not a few respects, these MSS. Books, and Medals cannot be equalled, and as a whole, there are not many in the world that can surpass this magnificent Collection. The Brethren in the Province of Worcester have now an excellent opportunity to become acquainted with the eventful past of our beloved Fraternity. Such varied and important Historical Works and MSS. cannot fail to yield accurate and invaluable information to those who rightly consult their pages, and it is to be hoped that the example set by Sir Edmund Lechmeee will prove contagious, so that every now and then donations will be made in order that the Library may keep pace with the ever increasing number of Masonic Works, and thus be fairly representative of the modern as well as ancient Masonic Historians.

    Life of Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen Volume 1

    Life of Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen Volume 1 By Sarah Tytler Life of Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen CHAPTER I. SIXTY-THREE YEARS SINCE. The 24th of May, 1819, was a memorable and happy day for England, though like many such days, it was little noticed at the time. Sixty-three years since! Do many of us quite realise what England was like then; how much it differed from the England of to-day, even though some of us have lived as many years? It is worth while devoting a chapter to an attempt to recall that England. A famous novel had for its second heading, "'Tis sixty years since." That novel— "Waverley"—was published anonymously just five years before 1819, and, we need not say, proved an era in literature. The sixty years behind him to which Walter Scott—a man of forty-three—looked over his shoulder, carried him as far back as the landing of Prince Charlie in Moidart, and the brief romantic campaign of the '45, with the Jacobite songs which embalmed it and kept it fresh in Scotch memories. The wounds dealt at Waterloo still throbbed and burnt on occasions in 1819. Many a scarred veteran and limping subaltern continued the heroes of remote towns and villages, or starred it at Bath or Tunbridge. The warlike fever, which had so long raged in the country, even when ruined manufacturers and starving mechanics were praying for peace or leading bread-riots, had but partially abated; because whatever wrong to trade, and misery to the poor, closed ports and war prices might have meant, the people still depended upon their armed defenders, and in the hardest adversity found the heart to share their triumphs, to illuminate cities, light bonfires, cheer lustily, and not grudge parliamentary grants to the country's protectors.
