This publication also prints a poem by Rudyard Kipling, The Mother Lodge (on page 94-95, noting that Kipling was a Freemason). Most of the book (pages 88 to 404) is devoted to 'Report of the Committee on Foreign Correspondence,' including detailed information about 'English-speaking Grand Lodges' in the United States (listed by each state, and including 'Indian Territory'), Canada (by province) Great Britain, New Zealand, Australia, etc., and a section devoted to thirteen 'None English-speaking Grand Bodies' (including Cuba, Mexico and Puerto Rico). This publication (for the year 1900), as well as previous 'Proceedings' include discussions of African-American masons (see page 119, 179, 206, etc), which includes discussion of "Negro Lodges and Grand Lodges" and the difficulties with acceptance in Washington (page 119), and "Clandestine Negro Masonry" (page 178, referencing Washington) in the section devoted to the Indian Territory, and further reference to Washington and former "Prince Hall Lodge" members in the Louisiana section (page 206). Previous Grand Lodge publications also discussed rejection of 'colored' Grand Lodges by some white Grand Lodges, with particular reference to the failure of 'Ohio recognition' in a specific instance, in 1877, which stated: "As predicted in our last annual address, the proposed recognition of our grand lodge by the grand lodge of whites, of this state, has failed. While I anticipated the result, I must confess that the manner in which it was brought about, surprised and disappointed me. [followed by a long discussion of the events]." *OCLC* locates no copies of this October issue.

Condition: V.G. Scarce Irish Banking. p.p. x 341. Folio. Blue wrps, paper label. This celebrated report deals with the circumstances surrounding the failure of The St. Peter's Parish Savings Bank in Cuffe St. Dublin in May 1848. The Bank's problems commenced in 1831 when it was established that a figure of about £20,000 had been syphoned from the Bank's books by a cashier named Dunn whose combined role of cashier and book-keeper had simplified fraud. Dunn absconded almost immediately, fled the country, never to return. Although the Bank struggled on until 1848 when it finally collapsed with depositors being paid 1p in the pound. No state guarantees in those days.
