History of the Order.

It is a source of infinite pleasure to be able to report that the distinguished brother charged with the preparation and publication of the History of the Order for the first decade, has accomplished his labors, under the terms prescribed last year, and he will be able to present it to you and the Order at the present session. It is not necessary that I should refer to the merit of the work; it will speak for itself; the high character of the author and his long familiarity with the subject committed to his charge, is a guaranty that it will be full of interest, and highly appreciated by the members of the Order.
