The Freemasons' Monthly Magazine, published at Boston from 1841 to 1873 and edited throughout by Charles W. Moore, Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, was among the most authoritative insider journals of nineteenth-century American Freemasonry. Its contents are the official business of the Craft: Grand Lodge and Grand Chapter proceedings, jurisprudence and the interpretation of the ancient landmarks, Masonic history and biography, obituaries, and defences of the order's moral and charitable character during and after the anti-Masonic agitation. Its temper is institutional rather than speculative. Where it touches the meaning of Masonry it does so in the language of ethics and civic virtue, and it takes evident pride in the Craft's religious latitude — the Jewish and Christian scriptures both on the altar, with no candidate asked which he believes. Keyword tooling reads its dense vocabulary of initiation and brotherhood as occultism; the magazine itself is mainstream regular Freemasonry, and it is the pro-Masonic counterpart to the anti-Masonic crusading press this archive also holds. Generated by Claude from the periodical's digitized text; a thematic reading, not a bibliographic description. |
