Excerpt from Proceedings in Masonry: St. John's Grand Lodge, 1733-1792; Massachusetts Grand Lodge, 1769-1792, With an Appendix, Containing Copies of Many Ancient Documents, and a Table of Lodges
The Archives of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts contain the earliest Masonic Records now known to be in existence on this continent. Those of the Provincial Grand Lodge, organized by Henry Price in 1733, generally known as Saint John's Grand Lodge (Moderns), and those of the Massachusetts Provincial Grand Lodge, organized by Joseph Warren in 1769 (Ancients), are set forth in this volume, as nearly as possible verbatim et literatim.
We have also in our archives the following described Records of subordinate Lodges:
I. Record op the First Lodge in Boston, from December 27, 1738 (0. S.), to July 24, 1754.
II. Record op the Second Lodge in Boston, from December 21, 1761, to February 16, 1775.
III. Record op the Masters' Lodge in Boston, from January 2, 1738(O.S.), to January 15, 1783.
The Records of these three Lodges furnish considerable information as to the proceedings of the Grand Lodge. For the first half century of their existence the history of the Grand Lodge and of the First Lodge, so far as we know it, seems to have been curiously intermingled. The Records of one Body frequently report transactions of the other.
