RECOMMENDATIONS. Grand Chapter of the State of New-York, convened in the ́ City of Albany, Feb. 7, 5817. RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY, That this Grand Chapter recommend to the public in general, and more especially to all Masonic Brethren, "The System of Free-Masonry,” about to be published by companion SALEM TOWN, Grand Chaplain. The subjects of that work, having been exhibited before the members of this Grand Chapter, in a series of addresses, we do recommend it as a most valuable production, on Speculative Masonry, and believe it will be of great importance to the institution in general, and interesting to every friend of truth, of sound principles and be-nevolent feelings. ISAAC HEMPSTED, Grand Secretary of the Grand Chapter. WE, the undersigned, having heard companion SALEM Town's Masonic Addresses, which, by the special request of the Grand Chapter, he has reduced to a regular system, do most cordially recommend it to all our brethren and companions, as a most valuable production, and in our opinion, calculated to advance the general interest of the Masonic Institution, and open a field for individual improvement in Masonic knowledge, more than any work which to our knowledge has appeared to the public. We therefore feel the highest confidence in recommending it to the perusal of every Mason, entertaining no doubt, but his mind will be thereby replenished with many new and interesting ideas, calculated to shew the great importance of the institution. M. E. EZRA AMES, Grand High Priest." E. JOHN BRUSH, Grand Scribe. E. ISAAC HEMPSTED, Grand Treasurer. E. CHRIS. C. YATES, Past Grand Treasurer. É. EBENEZER Wadsworth, Past Grand Scribe. |
