Book excerpt: Excerpt from Masonic Historical and Bibliographical Memoranda These Memoranda were originally published in 1874 in the new england freemason. By the thoughtfulness of Bro. Sereno D. Nickerson, extra copies of the sheets, containing the Memoranda were struck off, whereby I have been enabled to furnish them in a compact and convenient form. The favorable consideration given to them led me to make and preserve notes for additions and corrections. With this material on hand, I have been easily induced by the Masonic Collectors' Association to rewrite the Memoranda for publication by them.
