TO THE MEMORY OF
BROTHER JOHN BARNEY,
THAT GOOD MAN AND TRUE MASON,
TO WHOSE INSTRUCTIVE TONGUE FREEMASONRY IN
THE WEST IS SO MUCH INDEBTED FOR THE TRANSMISSION, UNIMPAIRED, OF THE
National Work of the Baltimore Convention,
THIS LITTLE WORK IS
RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED,
BY HIS EARLY PUPIL, THE COMPILER. THE only introduction the Compiler will give this little volume, may be
found in the following indorsements 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, MICE., 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.,
"Of Arcana Lodge, No.
110."
"CINCINNATI, July, 1865."
