Published in 2008

In 1830, James C. Odiorne, a minister from Boston, Massachusetts, compiled this anthology of anti-Masonic lectures, papers, pamphlets, and sermons widely circulating in Massachusetts and New York in the wake of the so-called “Morgan Affair”. This work provides a fascinating glimpse into the arguments against the Fraternity amidst an era that saw the formation of a new national political party, the Anti-Masonic party, seeking nothing more or less than the abolition of Freemasonry.
