The " Gouled " Testimonial.

THE " GOULED " TESTIMONIAL .

In tlie opinion of many Brethren the time has arrived when the long-continued services of Bro . ROBERT FREKE GOUID , P . G . D ., to the literature of the Craft merit a more than passing acknowledgment . Entering this field of labour so far back as 18 f ) 8 , he was for many years a contributor to the Masonic journals , but he AA'ill be best known as the author of " The Four Old Lodges , " " '' The Atlioll Lodges , " and last , though not least , of " The History ol * 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 and friends alike , that the great body of Freemasons are without 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 AA'ill show to Bro . GOULD that the long years of study and research which lie has devoted to the interest of Freemasonry are deemed >\ orthy of substantial recognition by the Craft universal , AVIIO , in this way , will best evince a genuine appreciation of his unexampled labours . In pursuance of the above object the undermentioned Brethren have 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 GOODING , P . G . D ., Hon . Sec . and ad interim Treasurer ( Heath Lodge , The Grove , Blackheath , S . E . ) , and will be duly acknoAvledged .
