About This Item
London: Published By John Meaden, 1, Tavistock Street, Covent Garden; And May be Had Of All Booksellers, 1825 .. Second Edition of this 19th century Masonic standard. Preserved in a very good library binding. 8vo. pp.xxiv./pp.25 - 288 . 19.5 cm x 12.0 cm x 1.8 cm. Brown buckram covers with gilt titles to spine; "The Masonic Manual - Ashe". Light spotting to endpapers. Clean text throughout. A very good copy of this scarce publication. ** Jonathan Ashe (fl. 1813), was an Irish masonic writer. Ashe was born in Limerick in 1766, entered Trinity College, Dublin, 26 March 1783, took B.A. degree in ordinary course, and became D.D. in 1808. Very little is known of him except that he commenced and perfected his masonic studies in Dublin. While in Bristol in 1813 he published a work entitled 'The Masonic Manual, or Lectures on Freemasonry, containing the Instructions, Documents, and Discipline of the Masonic Economy,' and asserts in the introduction that he 'plainly and completely tells the craft its eternal and temporal obligations, and affords the uninitiated a fair review and estimate of masonry.' This work was dedicated to the Duke of Sussex, then grand master of the order. In many portions it is a mere copy of William Hutchinson's 'Spirit of Masonry,' published in 1775." - See Wikipedia *** "Ashe, D.D., Rev. Jonathan. A literary plagiarist who resided in Bristol, England. In 1814 he published "The Masonic Manual..."Ashe does not, it is true, pretend to originality, but abstains from giving credit to Hutchinson from whom he has taken at least two-thirds of his book..." - See Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, Albert G. Mackey.

Michael Bond - the man behind Paddington Bear
“All the same ... it’s a very important name. And I don’t expect there are many bears in the world called Paddington!”
A lonely toy bear on an empty shop shelf on Christmas Eve in 1956 first captured the attention of Michael Bond, who kindly shared Paddington with the world.
