ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND APOLOGY ΤΟ SUBSCRIBERS. To the refpected OFFICERS and MEMBERS of the GRAND LODGE, and to my beloved BRETHREN of the feveral lodges throughout the Commonwealth, my grateful acknowledgments are due for the kind. encouragement and liberal patronage they have given to this work. This inftance of their benevolent attention, added to the various other favors they have heaped upon me, affects me fenfibly. I wish I could better exprefs and better repay my obligations. I hope they will not be altogether difappointed in the volume; and that it may prove A MONUMENT OF MY GRATITUDE TO THEM, AND OF MY ATTACHMENT TO MASONRY. I REGRET that, fubfcription papers not having been returned in feafon, the lift of Subfcribers is fo very imperfect. It comprifes but about half the lodges. I have heard repeatedly of the encouragement this work has met in lodges whofe returns have not reached me, and from brethren whose names would do honor to my list. As a change of Officers has taken place fince the papers were fubfcribed, I found myfelf not a little embarraffed in affixing proper titles; but, from the returns of lodges at the quarterly communications of the Grand Lodge, endeavoured to make the neceffary alterations. FOR reasons, which will be apparent to the Brethren, civil titles are omitted altogether. FOR any error or mifnomer in tranfcribing the lifts I muft beg pardon. The texture of the fubfcription paper was fuch that the ink spread fo as to render fome of the names fcarcely legible. DORCHESTER, MOUNT-POTOSI, T. M. HARRIS. July 7, 1801. LIST OF SUBSCRIBERS.
