This is one of them minus a few pages to keep the file size down.

Was it erroneous content or intentional omission? What was left out of the document? Can a few MBs really make a difference?

Kek, Check out the cartoon on the front cover: Anti Masonic Manual 1832

**Excerpt: **

This Anti-Masonic Almanac for the year 1832 was published by William Williams of Utica, New York around 1831. The cover reads “The law is still paralyzed by a hidden agent that continues to prove stronger than the combined force of its machinery and its ministers: the Lodge of this agent has become its sepulcher. There it lies, a spectacle for freemen to look at. In our boasted Republic the blood of an American, who was taken from his home—bound—tortured—tortured—agonized—borne by the conspirators along the high roads with an impudent cavalcade or carriages and horsemen—cast into a fortress over which had floated the sovereign flag of the Union—and at last immolated—by harpies belonging to an organized and powerful institution, who conceal their crime under the horrible delusion of their mystic tie.” This is a reference to the disappearance of William Morgan from his home in Batavia, New York, after he threatened to reveal Freemasonry’s secrets. Believing that the Freemason’s secretly ran society and politics, the Anti-Masonic party was formed in New York in 1828 and ran candidates for public office until it disbanded in 1838.

KEK, here's a write up from the Scottish Rite Freemason perspective about the Anti-Masonic movement in the United States:

Scottish Rite Blog What Was The Anti Masonic Movementt

**Excerpt 1 **

In the United States, there still exists a sub-culture of suspicion against Masons which began nearly 200 years ago when the country’s anti-Masonic movement emerged; a subject critically important to understanding the history of Freemasonry in America.

Excerpt 2

Its apex came in 1826 when a bricklayer named William Morgan mysteriously disappeared in New York after supposedly breaking his Masonic vow of secrecy for intending to publish a book exposing Masonic ritual. Freemasons in Morgan’s town were considered responsible for his disappearance, ultimately being tried and convicted in court of kidnapping him. However, the sentencing these men received was considered too light amongst those who believed them to be guilty.

**Excerpt 3: **

As the anti-Masonic fervor spread, it ultimately took shape in the form of an official U.S. political entity: the Anti-Masonic Party. As the name indicates, its platform was specifically built on the mission of trying to eliminate Freemasonry in the United States. Sadly, it was quite successful, almost snuffing out Freemasonry’s presence entirely throughout the country.

The Morgan case is indeed something I need to refresh on.

But there is more in it. Like bribery too. Good to read all those letters .....most interesting phraseology.

The goog-drive link still works, is this already known to anyone here?
