INTRODUCTORY.
THE only introduction the Compiler will give this little volume, may be found in the following endorsements by distinguished Craftsmen:
"HAVING examined the Freemason's Monitor, compiled by Bro. JAMES FENTON, G. S. of the G. L. of Michigan, I take pleasure in recommending it to the Fraternity. The arrangement of the first three degrees, corresponding with the National Work and Lectures, as established in this jurisdiction, makes it an invaluable auxiliary in a working Lodge.
"WM. M. FENTON,
"P. G. M. of the G. L. of Michigan.
"FLINT, MICH., July, 1865."
"It is arranged, seriatim, with our work and lectures in the first three degrees, as we work and lecture in Michigan, and as we understand our Baltimore or National Work and Lectures.
"R. P. ELDRIDGE.
"MT. CLEMENS, MICH., July, 1865."
"I HAVE presided over a Lodge in Baltimore for a number of years, and am perfectly familiar with the National Work, as adopted by the Baltimore Convention. I have examined the proof-sheets of the Monitor, by Bro. FENTON, and believe it conforms to that work in every essential particular.
"ROBERT GWYNN, P. M.,
