The book titled ""The Story of the Ecossais Lodges in the Isle San Domingo"" is written by Gerry L. Prinsen. It is a historical account of the Ecossais Lodges, which were a group of Masonic lodges established in the Caribbean island of San Domingo (now known as Haiti) during the late 18th century.The book delves into the origins of the lodges, their establishment, and their activities during the tumultuous period of the Haitian Revolution. It explores the role of the Ecossais Lodges in the social and political landscape of San Domingo, and how they contributed to the development of Freemasonry in the Caribbean.The author draws on a range of primary sources, including Masonic records, letters, and other historical documents, to provide a comprehensive and detailed account of the Ecossais Lodges. The book also includes illustrations and photographs that help to bring the story to life.Overall, ""The Story of the Ecossais Lodges in the Isle San Domingo"" is an informative and engaging read for anyone interested in the history of Freemasonry, the Caribbean, or the Haitian Revolution.This volume contains letters sent from Santo Domingo to the Elus parfaits at Bordeaux and copies of some of their replies. There is also the Patent granted to Lamolere de Feuillas on December 24, 1752 which made him a true Masonic proconsul; and letters from the lodge Saint-Jean de Jerusalem Ecossaise at Cap-Francais, the Parfaite Loge d'Ecosse in Saint-M arc, and the superior bodies founded by Morin in Les Cayes. The rivalry between Morin and Lamolere de Feuillas shows up quite clearly.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
