""The Story of the Lodge La Parfaite Union in the Island of Martinique"" is a historical account written by Gerry L. Prinsen. The book explores the origins and development of the Masonic Lodge La Parfaite Union, which was established in the French Caribbean island of Martinique in the 18th century. The author delves into the social and political context of the time, discussing the impact of slavery, colonialism, and the French Revolution on the island and its inhabitants. Through extensive research and analysis of archival documents, Prinsen sheds light on the role of the Lodge in the cultural and intellectual life of Martinique, as well as its connections to the wider Masonic network in Europe and the Americas. The book is a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of Masonic history, Caribbean studies, and the history of Martinique.This comprises correspondence addressed to the Elus parfaits at Bordeaux by the brethren of Saint-Pierre de la Martinique. A large part is concerned with he events linked with he creation of the Parfaite Loge d'Ecosse of Saint-Pierre, and to the enmity that arose between two rival factions. It has been possible to recreate the original of the Sharp document 30, lost in America but of which the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris has a very poor copy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
