Birth and Growth of the Grand Lodge of England 1717 to 1926 is a historical book written by Gilbert W. Daynes. The book provides a comprehensive account of the establishment and development of the Grand Lodge of England from its inception in 1717 to 1926. It covers the major events, personalities, and decisions that shaped the organization's growth and influence over the centuries. The book is divided into chapters that cover different periods in the Grand Lodge's history, starting with its formation in the early 18th century and ending with its evolution into a modern institution in the early 20th century. The author provides detailed information on the key figures who played a role in the Grand Lodge's development, including its first Grand Master, Anthony Sayer, and later prominent leaders such as the Duke of Sussex and the Earl of Carnarvon. The book also delves into the social and cultural context in which the Grand Lodge operated, including the political and economic factors that influenced its growth and the broader cultural changes that affected Freemasonry as a whole. The author takes a balanced approach to the subject matter, acknowledging both the positive contributions of the Grand Lodge to society and the controversies and challenges it faced over the years. Overall, Birth and Growth of the Grand Lodge of England 1717 to 1926 is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Freemasonry, the development of fraternal organizations, or the social and cultural history of England in the 18th and 19th centuries.This book will help most Masons clear their minds of cant and superstition, and to see things as they are in the Fraternity. Truth is the object of this quest, and if we tread on the firm, straight roadway of historical truth, we shall make better progress toward the goal of philosophic truth than if we continue to flounder in the quicksands and morasses of fable and romance. Daynes selected and arranged his facts with exceptional discrimination and skill, and took great pains to get everything verified from the original records.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
