By reducing to writing the thoughts which he had about the principles of Odd Fellowship, and the history and practices of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, he desired to give some bit of pleasure or some serious thought that will benefit others. It was his hope that his experience as a member of the Order taught him something the record of which will be of benefit to others.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
