Book Description
Freemasonry prescribed for its members a supra-religious, supra-national philosophic universalism. Dorothy Ann Lipson examines its reception and adaptation in America, where its rapid spread was one index of increasing local diversity and cultural change. After tracing the English origins of Masonry, the author focuses on its development in post-Revolutionary Connecticut, where the Calvinist churches and the state had been supported by an unusually homogeneous population. As a counterculture or form of dissent, the fraternity provided its members with a variant religious experience, a source of serial distinction, a stable reference in times of change, a means of education, and an ethically licensed form of recreation. The author considers its role in these areas as well as the implications of such a fraternity tor the lives of women. The confrontation of the Masons and anti-Masons in the first part of the nineteenth century receives special attention as it dramatized political, religious, and cultural diversification.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Records of Freemasonry in the State of Connecticut In order to show the paternity of some of the first Masonic Lodges established in Connecticut, and in other States, we shall make a few short extracts from the "Proceedings in Masonry, from its First Origin in New England," which we find in a volume belonging to our Grand Lodge Library, entitled "The Constitutions of the Ancient and Honorable Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons, containing their History, Charges, Addresses, &c., collected and digested from their Old Records, Faithful Traditions, and Lodge Books, for the use of Masons; to which is added a History of the Grand Lodges in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts," &c. From 1733 to 1755, two Grand Lodges existed in Massachusetts, one derived from England, the other from Scotland. This ancient book was compiled and arranged, after the union of these two Grand Lodges, by a Committee appointed for that purpose, of which Doct. John Warren was the Chairman. It was published, under the sanction of the Grand Master and Grand Wardens, in the year 1792, by Brother Isaiah Thomas, of Worcester. It has ever been looked upon as a truthful exponent of the principles, designs and teachings of our venerable Order, as well as a faithful record of its early history in England, Scotland, Ireland and America. This volume was dedicated to our "Illustrious Brother George Washington, the Friend of Masonry, of his Country, and of Man." The brief extracts which we take, allude chiefly to the granting of charters for Connecticut; although it cannot be considered as a digression from our subject, or as entirely foreign to our original purpose, to notice the introduction of Masonry in other parts of our country.
