The " Gould" Testimonial.

THE " GOULD" TESTIMONIAL .

111 the opinion of many Brethren the time has arrived Avhen the long-continued services of Bro . EGBERT FREKE GOULD , P . G . D ., to the literature of the Craft merit a more than passing ackriOAvledgment . Entering this field of labour so far back as 1858 , he Avas for many years a contributor to the Masonic journals , but he Avill be best known as the author of " The Four Old Lodges , " " The Atholl Lodges , " and last , though not least , of " The History of Freemasonry , " which is admitted by all authorities to be the ablest and best Masonic work ever Avritten . Since its production it is no longer possible to affirm , as has Veen constantly done by foes anel friends alike , that the great body of Freemasons are Avithout a reliable and critical history of their Society .

It is hoped that the Brethren , Avhose names are subjoined , may prove to be the pioneers of a movement which will show to Bro . GOULD that the long years of study and research which he has de \* oted to the interest of Freemasonry are deemed Avorthy of substantial recognition by the Craft universal , AA'IIO , in this Avay , will best evince a genuine appreciation of his unexampled labours . In pursuance of the aboA'e object the undermentioned Brethren haA-e formed themselves into a Committee . Individual Subscriptions ( but not those of Lodges or other Bodies ) are limited to One Guinea . Contributions to the Fund may be sent to Dr . RALPH GOODIXG . P . G . D ., Hon . Sec . and ml interim Treasurer ( Heath Lodge , The Grove , Blackheath , S . E . ) , and will be duly acknoAvledged .
