What is "Moore's F. M. Ms. Mag"? [closed]

Question

Henry Fowle was born in 1740 and died in 1810.  He was a Mason, and on the back of his membership card, it shows: "For extended autobiography of Henry Fowle, see Moore's F. M. Ms. Mag., pp. 205 et seq. of v. 24...."  It goes on to cite further pages in v. 24 and also v. 25.

What is Moore's F. M. Ms. Mag., and is it available somewhere so
I can check the biography?

Answer 1

It refers to The Freemason's Monthly Magazine, edited by Charles Moore.

You might be able to find a copy online somewhere.  Volume 24 should have been published around 1865 and Volume 25 in 1866.

Here's a link to the beginning of the Fowle autobiography in Volume 24:  https://books.google.com/books?id=fKxLAAAAMAAJ&dq=moore%20free%20mason%20magazine%20volume%2024&pg=PA205#v=onepage&q=moore%20free%20mason%20magazine%20volume%2024&f=false
