Excerpt from The Odd-Fellows Text-Book and Manual: An Elucidation of the Theory of Odd-Fellowship; Embracing a Detail of the System, in All Its Branches
The approbation the "Odd-Fellows" Text-Book" has received from the great fraternity for whom it was prepared, has been proved by the rapid and large sale of the previous editions of the work, as well as by the commendation of many distinguished members of the Order. The numerous changes rendered necessary by the legislation of the Grand Lodge of the United States have been carefully made in the present volume, and the Publishers have the satisfaction of believing that they again offer to the Order the most perfect work on Odd-Fellowship to be found at the present time.
In the various revisions which changes in the organic laws have made necessary, the original design of the Author has been carefully preserved, by rendering the work in all its parts useful and clear to every member of the Order, yet so ingeniously blended with the text, that it may be profitably read by every member of the family circle, as a work of great interest, and fraught with good counsel in all the duties of life.
