ABSTRACT

Wherein is given a summary History of the Order, from the earliest accounts to the establishment of the Grand Lodge of Ireland, in 1730.

The whole being written with a view towards conciliating the jarring parties, and restoring harmony to a highly respectable community; particular attention has been paid that no terms should be used injurious to the feelings of those whose conduct proceeded from an error in judgment, or want of information; it is therefore confidently hoped, that such as may not be convinced by the Arguments, will not be offended by the Language.
