AT the annual communication of the Grand Lodge of the United States of 1869, the undersigned was directed to prepare a complete Digest of the existing laws and decisions of that Grand Body, with authority to employ such assistance as he might deem necessary, and to submit the same to the next session for approval. Under this authority, Brother john H. White, the distinguished Grand Representative of New York, was appointed to perform this highly important task. Upon the completion of the work, it was submitted to my examination and received my entire approval. As required by law, it was reported to the late session of the Grand Lodge of the United States, referred by that body to a special committee, composed of eminent lawyers and Past Grand Sires, by which it was also examined and approved. Upon the report of that committee its publication was authorized, and it is now given to the Brotherhood, with an assurance from the committee that'it is correct, and with the opinion of the undersigned that it may be confidently relied upon as a Digest of the existing laws and decisions of the Grand Lodge of the United States. The plan of the work is as follows.
