T HAVE thought it well , to aid Masonic Students , in Europe and America , to obtain - - a correct list of Masonic Books in the British Museum . I ha \ r e from time to time , and no doubt many others have done the same , made partial lists and retain partial references , but I am not a \\ 'are of any complete list of such books anywhere extant . By the aid of a friendly " expert" in the British Museum , I can publish ' in the Masonic Magazine such a cataloguefor the absolute correctness of Avhich I can vouch . I may

, remark that it represents the present system of " reference " now in use in the British Museum , and the latest corrected catalogue . So I hope it will be both useful and valuable to all Masonic Students . One point I feel bound to advert to . There is " no royal road to learning , " and there is no easy method of ascertaining AA hat Masonic books are in the Museum . All brethren interested in the subject must study this catalogue carefullas they find

y , may the book they seek or the date and fact they Avant very IOAV CIOAATI on the list . But no study is absolutely easy , least of all Masonic Literature . To many it is still an " unexplored country , " though to a little band of real students , this catalogue , full as it is , and valuable as a reference , will perhaps tell little they did not know before . Still , it is a step in the right direction , and as such I A'enture to believe it AATII be welcomed both in Europe and America .
