Robert Macoy Leader of Eastern Star 1866-1876A4 Glossy copy of his signed Carte de VisiteRobert Macoy was born in Ireland, October 4, 1816, but from the time he was four years old lived in New York City, where, at an early age, he apprenticed himself in the printing and publishing business, and continued in it for nearly forty years, first as printer and bookseller, and then as a Masonic publisher. During his generation he made a large place for himself in the American Craft, along with Mackey, McClenachan, Drummond, Morris, etc., with whom he was closely associated He won a success in four separate spheres of Masonic labors:

1. In the Order of the Eastern Star. Rob Morris had conceived the idea of it, had written rituals, had filled it with his inspiration, but was a failure at the work of organization. ". . . Upon his departure for the Holy Land, in 1868, Brother Morris transferred to Brother Macoy all the authority he had assumed and exercised in regard to the Order. Bro. Macoy immediately set about arranging the work more systematically.... Under his guiding hand the Supreme Grand Chapter. a self-constituted body, was organized in December, 1868. . ."

2. In the work of Grand Bodies of Masonry. He held the high office of Deputy Grand Master of New York, and was Grand Recorder of the Grant Commandery, E. T.

3. As author. He wrote an unknown number of articles for the Masonic press; wrote much in a number of Monitors and Manuals- and was author of The Worshipful Masters' Assistant which for half a century was to the office of Master what Mackey's Encyclopedia was to the whole of the Craft.

4. As a publisher. He published (and oftentimes either edited or helped to write) a long list of Masonic books, among them The Master Workmen, 1849- The Masonic Manual 1852; The Book of the Lodge, 1855, a work of immense national influence which American Masonic historians have overlooked- Vocal Manual, 1853- Masonic Minstrel, 1857; Worshipful Master Assistant, 1885; Rise of Adoption, 1868, and in 1890- and the General History, Cyclopedia, and Dictionary of Freemasonry which is described under ENCYCLOPEDIA, Mackey's etc., elsewhere in this Supplement.

During the productive period of Bro. Macoy's published and writing the one demand everywhere was for Monitors and Hand-books, and Macoy was but one of a number who supplied them, from Webb to Mackey A detailed, exhaustive bibliography of Macoy by an expert would open up a path for historians into one of the most important fields of either American Masonic history or American Masonic Jurisprudence~ Grand Lodges (and other Grand Bodies) now prepare and publish their own Monitors. In the period, of almost three-quarters of a century, when it was left to private members to prepare and publish Monitors not a few of them (as was inevitable, and it is not to their discredit) insinuated into Craft practice more than one element of the Exoteric work which represented nobody's idea but their own, and in some instances was a mistaken idea. Certain of the small discrepancies, anomalies, inconsistencies which Grand Lodges find in the Monitorial sections of their Uniform Work, and sometimes in Lodge practice, could be traced back to a private Monitorialist.

Section 2

It has been suggested that we should include more Masonic items in our listing in addition to the extensive Book section.

The collecting of Masonic items has grown in popularity since the Sale of the Michael White collection 20 years ago. Nowadays with the introduction of the Internet there is more interest and also more competition. There is also a great amount which has no real interest to the ‘serious’ collector.

As a first stage we have arranged for a limited run to made available of facsimile copies of the Bonham’s Sale Catalogue of ‘The Michael White Collection of Masonic Art and Memorabilia’ which was auctioned by Eric Knowles on 30th August 1991. Now available £20 per copy including P+P in UK

This section will probably grow slowly as we intend to keep it selective. Offers for any item will be considered

» Most Ancient and Honourable Society of Bucks

Most Ancient and Honourable Society of Bucks

Jewel of the Most Ancient and Honourable Society of

Bucks, which flourished between the 1770s and the

1820s. An account of the society published in 1770,

evidently by a member, includes a long mock-scholarly

description of how the society was founded by Nimrod,

the ‘mighty hunter’ of the Old Testament, and modelled

on Nimrod’s government of the empire of the

Assyrians. Extensive regulations are given on the

appointing of officers, founding new lodges, and

subscriptions for the benevolent fund. Moral

exhortations follow, in favour of virtue and brotherly

love and against drunkenness and taking the Lord’s

name in vain. The author makes the (presumably)

tongue-in-cheek claim that ‘The greatest monarchs in

all ages, as well Asia and Africa as of Europe, have

been encouragers of our noble order, and many of

them have presided as grands over the Bucks in their

respective dominions’. However, after all this solemn

and virtuous discourse the book ends with a selection

of hunting and drinking songs – and in fact the Bucks

were noted at the time for rowdy and drunken

behaviour. Their members must have all have been

fairly well-off as their surviving jewels are of very high

quality, with fine enamel and paste work.

In the Official History and Literature of Odd Fellowship -The Three Link Fraternity. By Henry Leonard Stillson Published in 1897 by Fraternity Publishing Company 896 Pages It is claimed that The Odd-fellows may have derived from the Noble Order of Bucks
