History of York Lodge

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. In performing this work the compiler has not, except in the most remote instances, and never where the matter is of a personal nature, exercised the license of the historian of indulging in observa tions upon the facts as they arise, but presents the simple annals of the Lodge, arranged in their chrono logical order, and which are, except in some matters of purely literary style, correctly transcribed from the original records.[exam copy OF original.
