The Report of fche Audit Gommittee, ae followe, was approred and ordered to be entered iipon the
Minutes.
PERMANENT AND AUDIT COMMITTEE.
The Committee met at the Holborn Restaurant, on Mondaj, the 6th day of January, 1908.
PrMcnf .—Bros. G. Greiner, in the Chair; Admirai Sir A. H. Markhani, Canon J. W. Horsley,
J. P. Simpson, E. L. Hawkins, W. J. Sooghurst, Secretary ; and A. S. Gedge, Auditor.
The Secretary produced his books and tlie Treasnrer's acconnts and vouchers, which had been
exarained by the Auditor, and certified as being correct.
The Committee agreed upon the following
REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1907.
Bbethrkk,
In presenting our Annual Report, we must again conprratulate yuu upon the work done during
the past year.
We hâve had to déplore the loss by death of Bro. Thomas Bowman Whytehead, a Past
Master of the Lodge. His name will be indissolubly oonnccted with the History of Freemasonry in
York, as to whîch he was for long an accepted authority. On the other hand Bro. Henry Fitzpatrick
Berry, Litt. Doc, bas been admitted, leaving the total number at 35.
In the Correspondence Circle, death bas also removed a number of valued members, promînent
among whom may be roentioned Bros. John Pyrah, of Hnddersfield ; K. A. Gerstenkorn, of Invercarg^ll,
New Zealand ; W. H. S. Wright, of St. Paul, Minnesota; and C. Trevor Mold, of Buenos Aires; ail of
whom hâve done excellent work as Local Secretaries in theîr respective districts.
We hâve also to report with regret that Bros. R. A. Shirreffs, of Elizabeth, New Jersey ; F. H.
Parker, of Nikosia, Cyprus ; W. Eindness, of Mackay, Queensland ; and J. B. Cowan, of Ha%vick, N.B. ;
bave been compelled to resign their Local Secretaryships, and we take this opportunity of expressing
to thèse brethren our gratef ul thanks for much labour expended on behalf of the Lodge. The following
new appointments hâve been made during the year : Bro. Seth L. Pope, of Portiand, Oregon ;
Bro. H. E. Deats, of Fleroington, New Jersey; Bro. T. Cherry, of Mackay, Queensland; Bro.
H. H. Campkin, of Indian Head, Assiniboia; Bro. Royal A. Gove, of Tacoma, Washington; Bro. James
Maogregor, of Inverc&rgill, New Zealand ; and Bro. J. W. Chamberlin, of St. Paul, Minnesota.
Four hundred and seventy-seven names hâve been added to the Correspondence Circle. On the
other hand 286 names bave been removed in conséquence of death, résignation, or non-payment of dues,
making a net increaae of 192. We hâve now a total on the list of 3308, which is the largest that bas
ever been reached.
Notwithstanding this large accession to our numbera, the acconnts herewith submitted are not
so satisfactory as they should be, owing to the fact that 673 brethren were in arrears with their
snbscriptions when the books were closed on the 30th November last, £335 being due on the
1907 acoount alone. Althoagh it is expected that a large part of this amount will eventually be
collected, it is évident that many names will bave to be removed, but it is hoped that the wastage will
be made up by the introduction of brethren who will take a real interest in our work.
It is satisfactory to note that nearly 200 brethren hâve made use of the Banker's Order Forme
whîch were recently distribnted, and it is hoped that others who bave Banking accounts in the United
Kingdom will take advantage of this method of making their annual payments.
The new joining fee of twenty-one shillings (which includes the first year's subscription) came into
opération on Ist December, 1907, but it is too early yet to f orm any opinion as to its probable effect upon
our accounts.
The assets comprised in the accounts for last year, as in former years, do not include the stock
of Tranaactiona^ of Antiquarian Reprints, of Facsimiles of varions copies of the Old Constitutions, nor
the Library and Muséum, upon which alone nearly one thoueand pounds hâve already been expended.
We désire again to call the spécial attention of members to the large stock of the publications of
the Lodge, of which full particulars are given on the covers of the TranaacHons, The sale of thèse
books would establish a f und which would enable the Lodge to extend its opérations greatly.
For the Committee, GOTTHELF GREINER, in the Chair.

By Bro. John Palmer, Ludlow.
Glass Gohlkt, raade for thoSilarean Lodge Ko. 576, which was constituted at Kington, Hereford-
shire, in 1791. Bro. Lane, in his ''Masonic Records," says *' About 1801 the Lodge separated, and
"divided the fnnds amongst its members. The Lodge furniture was sold in the year 1804 by the
" Treasnrer to a person in Ludlow for £22 lOs. 6d." This accounts for the appearance of the goblet
at Ludlow. It was presented to the Lodge of tBe Marches in 18S7. The original warrant of tlie
Silurean Lodge is also in ihe possession of the Lodge of the Marches, and appears to hâve been used for
the création of a ncw Lodge at Ludlow in 1805, which was called the "Mercian," and was diseolved on
the 2l8t October, 1828.
ToBACco-Box, presented to the Mercian Lodge No. 485.
number had been changed to 528.
The box bears the date 1815, when the
jKWEr^s, now in tho possession of the Lodge of the Marches. Thosc of the W.M., 8.W., J.W.,
Treasnrer, and Secretary are the original ones of the Silurean Lodge of Kington. The P.M. jewel in
silver and paste was presented by the Brethren of the Mercian Lodge to Bro. J. B. Morris, W.M. for the
first fourteen years of its existence.
MS. Bye-Laws of the Mercian Lodge, dated 1805, and presented to the Lodge of the Marches in
1864.
By Bro. Sampson Foqo, Manchester.

NEW LIGHT ON THE OLD PILLARS WHICH STOOD IN
FRONT OF THE PORCH OF SOLOMON'S TEMPLE.
BY CANON /. W. HORSLEY, F.G,Ch., P. M.
T seems to me tliat the prominence from a structural point of view, and
tlie importance from the ethical, or religions standpoint, of the two
great pillars which stood in or before the porch of King Solomon's
Temple hâve not been fully recognized.
* * • « «
Haviog now given a traditional account of the appearance and
intention of the two pillars ; liaving next pointed ont what seems
faulty in thit account ; the way is open to an examination of what they were actually
in structure, in appearance and in nse. And hère let me draw your attention to the
drawings I liave had raade, which are enlargements from some in a remarkable book on
Solomon's Temple, lately sent me for review, some pages of which suggested, and indeed
made possible, this paper. The book is by the Rev. W. Shaw Caldecott, M.R.A.S., a
learned Wesleyan minister, lias a laudatory préface by Prof. Sayce, and is published by
the Religions Tract Society. He is not of the Craft, but I hâve had some interesting
correspondeuce with him, and he bas very kindly allowed me to nse his designs.
In order to understand tlie pillars we must first go back to the Tabernacle and
discover the relation borne to it by the Temple, and also must avail ourselves of
comparatively récent discoveries as to the origin and value of the Systems of measure-
ment adopted by Solomon. Not from the Volume of the Sacred Law alone can we
dérive, as our predecessors thought, our knowledge of thèse pillars.
The Tabernacle, however holy and awef ni, was, by the necessity of the wandering,
insignificant in size, a gloritied Bédouin tent rather than a temple, only 40 cubits in
length (or 48 feet), including its porch, which was an addition to the two Holy
Chambers westwards of it. With this porch we are concerned as the precursor of the
porch of the tirst Temple. While the Holy of Holies in the Tabernacle was an entirely
dark chamber, only 12 feet square, a cube of thèse dimensions being the most perfect
of ail figures of magnitude, and the Holy place eastwards of it was but two cubes of
the inner chamber, the porch or portico was ampler, supported by five pillars. Into the
Sanctum Sanctorum only the High Priest could enter, into the Holy Place only the
priests, and when King Uzziah trangressed the threshold leprosy was his punitfhment.
But the porch, covered by its teut-curtains, was the ordinary place of worship for the
Judges or the earlier Kings before the building of the Temple. Into it David, as
anointed, passed beyond the Soreg, or court of the laity, and stood between the altar
and the Holy Chambers when he " came into the House of the Lord and worshipped "
(il. Sam., xii., 20), or " went in, and sat before the Lord " (n. Sam., vii., 18). There in an
unenclosed area of 12 feet square, the King or Judge would make his dévotions in public,
while the priests passed by to minister in the Holy Place or at the altar. The poi*ch
pillars were 15 cubits, or 18 feet, in height, but no spécial significance was attached to
them, nor any unusual beauty of art or material lavished npon thcm.
When the Temple was contemplated it was felt that the proportions of the
Tabernacle (exteriorly but a squat black tent) must be increased to give dignity, and

the increase took the form of duplication of ail measurements, while the essential design
remained nnaltered. Severe in simplicity the two Holy Chambers rcmained, although
oedar is to replace acacia wood, and gold everywlîere to take the place of brass. Even
the floor of the Holy of Holies was to be of gold, so that the High Priest stood witliiii a
oasket of gold. But still the new building would seem small compared with palace and
fortifications that would arise around it, and, therefore, it was determined to magnify
the porch, and to make of it a magnificent façade, on which splendour of architecture
and détail should impress the worshippers in tlie courts below. The word porch to us
suggests rather an érection a quarter or a third the height of the hou se or building
before which it stands. This porch, however, is to tower above the Temple behind it,
which still conformed to that tent-like construction, which was the dominating idea
which flowed from Mosaic, through Davidic and Maccaba^an to Herodian days. And so,
whereas the Tabernacle porch was only 36 feet high, that of the Temple was 144 feet
(120 cubits), or not far short of half the height of the Victoria Tower at Westminster,
or again, exactly thrioe the height of the Temple. This porch, or façade, was approached
by steps leading from the level of the altar floor to that of the Holy Chambers, and was
made the chief architectural feature of ail the Temples, since tradition or mie. allowed
no altération in the size of the inner chambers. But prominent as one looked up to this
façade, on a broad landing on the tenth of the twelve steps leading to the floor of the
actual Temple stood two great pillars, or rather obelisks, with shafts of 18 cubits (or
21f feet), bsLses of 3 cubits (or 3-J- feet) to help proportion, to give stability, and to guard
the shaft from passers-by, with true capitals of 5 cubits (or 6 feet) and supra-capital s
of 4 cubits (or 4>- feet). This gives a total height of 30 cubits, or 36 feet, which is
exactly (as the rule followed throughout in the Temple building would lead us to
expect) double that of the porch pillars of the Tabernacle. It may hère be noted that
the proportions of 3 cubits for the base, 4 for the supra-capital, and 5 for the capital
proper seems to follow the 3, 4, and 5 which w^as the foundation of the Babylonian
sexagésimal System of arîthmetic with its unit of sixty and its legitimate fractions.
Hère also it will be well to remember that comparing what is called the Rule of
Gudea from a table of lengths inscribed on a slab found in Babylonia in 1881, and now
in the Louvre, with the Senkereh mathematical tablet found at Larsa in 1850 by Mr.
W. K. Loftus, we obtain a fundamental palm-breadth of 3.6 inches, from which are
derived the three Babylonian cubits of 10.8, 14.4 and 18 inches respectively, the smallest
being used for gold-work, the middle for building and the largest for the plotting of land
spaces. The structure of the Tabernacle shows (as Mr. Caldecott proved in his earlier
book on the Tabernacle) that Moses adopted and perpetuated the Babylonian System,
while from the Tabernacle of Moses, Solomon reverentially adopted both the outline and
the measnres which were to rule the Temple plan.
In the outer line of the Tabernacle Porch there stood three wood en pillars simply
for utility or necessity. Those that succeed them as supporters of a roof now become
insignificant in comparison with the two great and ornamental obelisks that stand free
before the Porch of King Solomon's Temple. Whence came this new idea? It has
long been pointed out that Solomon's artist for metal-work was a Phœnician by training.
Now before every Temple of Melkarth, the Tyrian Herakles, and of other gods also,
stood two columns, monoliths, or of métal. Herodotus (ii., 44, 1) says that at Tyre
there were two pillars, the one of refined gold, the other of smaragdus (perhaps a
highly-polished green marble, perhaps of emerald glass), the latter lit from within at
night. Josephus {Goubr. Ap. 1, 17, 18) says that the King Hirom of Solomon's
day dedicated the golden pillar in the Temple of the Tyrian Zeus. Such sacred

pillars marked ail the old Canaanite sanctaaries, and were no mère supports for
roof or architrave. Sach was the stone pillar, or maççëbâh, which Jacob set up
at Bethel, and then poured oil upon it as an offerinc^. Such were the two pillars
figured on the coins of Paplios with the représentation of the Temple of tho Ph(i»nician
Astarte (see the illustration on p. 139 of our Transaiions, vol. v. pt. 2). Hence also was
dcrived the name of the Pillars of Herakles, given to the rocky heights betwoen which
the early Phœnician mariners eroerged from the Mediterranean on their westward
explorations. Mr. Caldecott, to whom I am so much indebtcd, says in his Solomon's
Temple that the phrase connoted '*The two pillars which stood before a Temple to
Hercules built on a sky-line of the Rock of Gibraltar, which were visible to mariners
when still a long distance at sea." The sumniit of the Rock on which I hâve been
would hardly accommodate a temple of any size, nor would two pillars be visible from
many points of view as two. It is more natural to believe that poetic and religions
feeling thus named the African and Spanish heights which form the Straits of Gibraltar.
One column still stands in the old Phœnician sanctuary at Goza, near Malta. Two
huge ones stand at Tekkah, near Larnaka, in Cypras, having survived their temple.
David therefore adopted a common custom of the land, whilc taking care that their
names shonld dénote their monotheistic teaching as symbole of Jahoah, the God of
Israël. Their names were probably engraved on the eastward faces of the pillars. So
we read in Bro. Gould's " Concise History of Freemasonry " : — " The two famous pillars
in the Cathedral of Wiirzburg, formerly the capital of Franconia, were originally on
either side of the porcb, though they now stand in the body of the Cathedral. Tbey
are inscribed respectively Jachin and Boaz on the abacus, but in moving them Jachin
has been pat on the left and Boaz on the right.*'
But they were not merely symbols and proclamations of the Almighty. They
were associated probably (I speak with diflBdence as this will be a new point to most)
with two religions cérémonies of great import to the nation. Jachin, on the right hand
or south, " was the royal pillar " says Mr. Caldecott, ** and the name or phrase * He
shall establish ' gi-aven on it was a continuons proclamation that the throne depended
for its stability upon the favour of Jehovah." In six passages of Scriptnre we find the
repeated promise to David that God would ''establish *' his kingdom or throne for ever.
Whenever then Solomon or his successor-s passed by and between thèse pillars, as none
else save the priests were entitled to pass, they would be remindedof their indebtedness
to their God and of the neod of their constant reliance on Him. But there is more to
be noted as to this Royal Pillar. There is évidence that before or beside it stood each
sovereign for his consécration and coronation, to vow adhésion to the obligations of his
high office. Thus when we read that the boy-king Joash stood " by the pillar "
(il. Kings, ii. 14), defined also in ii. Chronicles xiii. 13 as ''his pillar at the entrauce "
while they crowned and annointed him, we must especially lay emphasis on his pillar,
which can only mean that it had an especial and well-known connection with Kings and
King-making. Still more we must note the expression ** stood by the pillar, as the
Tïianner was,'' i.e., as coronation précèdent required — what else could the phrase mean ?
A précèdent by-the-bye antedating the Temple in some ways, for when before David's
death the précaution was taken of re-anointing Solomon as King and Zadok as High
Priest against the pretenders Adonijah and Abiathar, this second and double ceremony
took place at the Tabernacle door. This double ceremony, for as yet there was dual
authority, theocracy being administered throngh King and High Priest, the powers of
both Chnrch and State being recognised as derived from on high. Therefore, though
we may find no textual proof thOft Boï^z was the Priestly Pillar by which the High

Priest stood for hia consécration in the sight of the multitudes below, yet analogy and
probability would suggest it, and that at the two pillars, each with anointing, the highest
digni taries in Church and Realni were publicly set apart for the service of God and His
people. Thenceforward the inscribed word would remind the High Priest as he
ascended the steps that in it (i.e., keeping the Law) or in Him (Jehovah) was his
strength. Our Brother Woodford wrote long ago in the ** Masonic Cyclopœdia," " There
can be no don ht that they had a symbolical meaning^ and probably referred alike to the
Priestly and the Kingly power."
To such a sacred use, more than to any symbolical meaning, which might easily
be forgqtten, we may well ascribe their prominence and their abundant and exquisite
omament, which made them to ordinary beholders the chief artistic glory of the first
Temple. The glittering lofty shafts, rising to a height abore the ground level of
26 cubits, were surmounted with square capitals five cubits high. It is from the
description of Jeremiah, an eye-witness of the bumîng of the Temple when the pillars
were puUed down with ropes and broken up by the soldiers, that we are able to repre-
sent their design. Square, they bore 24 bosses or rosettes of pomegranate blossoms
(five-petalled, and so fonned on the basis of the Pentagram) on each side, the number
being made up to a huudred by one at each corner. The ground pattern upon the
casting of the capitals or chapiters was of basket or network, and my leamed friend, Mr.
Caldecott, was much interested when I sent him lately a photograph I cansed to be
taken on my visit to Jérusalem last November. It is of an ancient pillar in the court
before the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and as yon will see reproduces, by a local
tradition that has not died ont, this perforated basket-work in stone as a capital. Less
striking examples of the same kind of work I noticed elsewhere. The pomegranate
blossoms or tive-petalled rosettes were probably placed at the intersection of the
diagonal lines of the pattern. With the capitals and upon them were aiso cast wreaths
of chain-work, or festoons of flowers such as were afterwards common in the noblest
Greek omament.
But above the capitals there was the striking addition of a supra-capital,
separately cast in the form of a liliaceons or six-petalled flower, the "lily work" of
I. Kings, vii., 19. Their Hebrew name would hegtillah, meaning a hoUow vessel, and it
is translated *' pommels '* in the A.V., and ** bowls " in the R.V. The origin may hâve
been the sacred lotus flower of Egypt, which provided architectural designs familiar to
us in the Egyptian Court at the British Muséum. The cavity was probably used at
consécrations and coronations as a réceptacle into which some of the sacred oil was
poured, according to well-known Hebrew symbolical action. In conséquence of this
sacred use the supra-capitals were preserved from défilement by the nesting of pigeons
or ravens by there being placed before each a network of brass, which protected and, to
a certain extent, concealed the two sacred bowls, which, after the example of the famons
Persian column at Persepolis, surmounted the capitals. A drawing of this latter I
exhibit by the kindness of Bro. A. E. Biggs, to whom also I am indebted for the
enlargement to scale of the pillars, from Mr. Caldecott's book. Mr. James Fergusson,
P.R.S., M.R.A.S., Fellow of the R. Inst. of Brit. Architects, who wrote the article on the
Temple in Dr. Sraith's Dictionary of the Bible, remarks that " the columns of Persepolis
are probably more like Jachin and Boaz than any other pillars which hâve reached us
from antiquity, and give a better idea of the immense capitals than we obtain from any
other examples ; but, being in stone, they are far more simple and less ornamental than
they would hâve been in wood, and infini tely less so than their métal prototypes." If
we refer to n. Çbron., iv., 13, we shall find that thèse free and removable networks

were adorned with the saine pomegranate blossora design as tliere were on the capitals
below. Thus from below and afc their great height there would be a continuity and a
nnity of design between the capitals and the supra-capitals. Thèse covering networks
bore fonr hundred of thèse rosettes, raaking the total six hnndred. As Jereraiah speaks
only of the two hundred on the capitals, the supra-capitals may bave been removed by
some previous despoiler. Such floral rosettes by-the-bye are fonnd in many later
temples in Assyria or Persepolis, and I saw their descendants, so to speak, on many
buildings in the Holy Land.
Considering the prominence and importance of thèse two pillars in the façade of
Solomon's Temple, apart from any^ question of their religious significance or cérémonial
use, it seems to me strange indeed, that no successors or substitutes for them appeared
in any of the subséquent Temples, after their démolition before the eyes of Jeremiah.
They were not accidentai, but essential to the Temple scheme of architecture, and
as such would, we should anticipate, bave been reproduced in some form, albeit
without their original glory of design.
I hâve attempted to show how faulty and misleading are not a few of the state-
ments concerning the pillars. I hâve endeavoured to make more clear to you what
thèse striking obelisks really were in appearance. I hâve suggested that, perhaps, too
much they hâve been regarded as merely architectural ornaments, whereas there is
some suggestive indication of such religious use as that which prevents our speaking of
the stone in Westminster Abbey, or St. Aagustine's Chair, in Canterbury Cathedral,
as merely stones of a certain shape, apart from their connection with the coronation of
our Kings or the enthronement of our Primates. I bave also indicated their connection
in position, in form, in omament and in use, with allied objects in the Temples of other
lands and other faiths. With ail my conclusions or suggestions I cannot expect that
everyone will agrée ; but to hâve drawn f resh attention to objects so familiar to the
Craft may be of advantage through the criticisms, corrections and additions of other
brethren, even if my own contribution may prove to hâve been insignificant.

Il
Bro. SoNGHURST called attention to the valuable paper on ** Eighteenth Centurj
descriptions of Solomon's Temple," read before the Lodge in 1899 {A.Q,0.^ vol. xii.,
p. 135) by Bro. Professer Swift P. Johnston, and he produced several books from the
Lodge Library which might reasonably be considered to hâve influenced later writers.
Foremost among thèse was the Genevan Bible (familiarly known as the " Breeches
Bible"), first printed in Geneva in 1560. Many éditions were subsoqnently issued,and,
in spite of the numerous errors contained in the foreign printed copies, it continned to
be the Bible of the English people for upwards of three-quarters of a century, while
many of the marginal notes were added to the text of King James's Bible even solate as
1810.^ Woodcnts of the Temple are given to illustrate the description in i. Kings, and
one of the pillars is also shown separately,
being described in the margin as follows : —
A B — The height of a pillar eighteene cubits, the compalïe of a pillar was
twelne cubits.
D E — The height of the chapiter or round bail vpon the pillar of fine
cubits height.
F — In the middes were two rowes of pomegranates : the reft is the
networke and flourdelices, or rofes.
An attempt is made to reconcile the différent dimensions of the pillars as given
in I. Kings vii., 15, and ii. Chron. iii., 15, by a marginal note to the latter text.
Euery one was eighteene cubits long, but the halfe cubite could not be
feene, for it was hid in the roundeuefle of the chapiter, and therefore he
giueth to euery one but 17 and a halfe.
Dr. Dodd, in his Commentary on the Bible (1765), bas the following note to
I. Kings vii., 15 : —
It is said, 2 Chron. iii. 15. that thèse pillars were thirty and jive cvihii^ tigh,
which relates to the height of both of them together, without their
pedestals, whereas the height of each is given hère with its pedestal.

words which imply, that Godalone gavestability, or was alone the support
and strength of the temple. Varions allegorical désignations hâve been
given to thèse pillars, into which we shall not enter. They appear to hâve
been designed as ornaments to the temple, and to hâve as little référence

to the pillar of cloud and of fire, as to the lightand the air. The Authors
of the Universal History observe by way of conjecture, that one might
suppose there was au inscription in some such sensé as that above, given
upon the basis of each of the pillars ; that on the one beginning with the
Word Jachin, and that on the other with the word Boaz, from whence the
pillars might hâve their dénomination ; as we see the books of Moses
called by the first words which they begin with. See Universal History,
vol. iv., p. 206.
The Models of the Temple by Councillor Schott and the Rabbi * Jacob Juda
Lyon * were dealt with by Bro. W. J. Chetwode Crawley and Bro. W. H. Rylands in
-4.Q.C, vol. xii., pp. 150-163. Schott appears to hâve considered that the two pillars
were necessary in the construction of the Porch, as he refers to beams being laid across
them, and in the drawing published wifch the description of his model they are shewn
inside the Porch in such a position that they would not hâve been visible to any except
the Priests. The Rabbi says that they " were erected at the front of the Temple/'
and the context seems to shew that in his model he put them outside the Porch where
they could hâve been seen bj ail the congrégation. The two men were fairly in agree-
ment in their ideas about the length of the cubit. The former has it that " The Temple
" must be measured by a Calamus (Rule, Measure, Reed), that contains six cubits, a
" cubit is six FalmoSj or Hand-breadth, the Palni, of four Inches *' ; while Léon puts it
as foUows : — '* The Cubit was 6 Fists long, and every Fist 4 Thumbs in breadth, which
" is about 2 Feet and a quarter each Cubit."
Bro. Wm. Wonnacott said he did not propose to deal with that portion of Bro.
Horsley's paper which compare4 certain esoteric traditions with such parts of the
Scriptures as referred to the varions matters dealt with this evening. In the portion
of the paper which had been printed, there was a gi-eat deal to discuss, and he proposed
to touch upon some of those points raised by Bro. Horsley in his review of the work by
Rev. W. Shaw Caldecott, as well as upon some others lie had not mentioned.
' The careful study of the scriptural history, and an analysis of the extracts
referring to the parts of the Temple under considération, pointed to the fact that the
passages as transmitted to us were written by scribes who were in no sensé archœologists,
nor architects, nor were they mathematicians, for they hâve left us in the dark as to the
exact length of the cubit, — their ordinary unit of measurement, — and their mensuration
was queer, as expressed in the traditional dimensions handed down to us. Nor were
the divines who translated the texts for us acquainted with the technical terms used in
building to describe the varions parts.
Modem scholars hâve pointed ont how the records were re-written from time to
time, and edited again and again during the exile ; and in the course of the varions
rédactions there was conspicuous in the narrative a tendency to exaggerate. As an
instance of this, take the price paid by David for the threshing floor of Araunah which
in II. Sam. xxiv., 24, is given as '* fifty shekels of silver," while tho i. Chron. xxi., 26,
states it at " six hundred shekels of gold by weight." Dr. W. Robertson Smith has
pointed ont in several passages in his own works, " the tendency of numbers to grow in
" successive transcriptions is one that criticism must always keep in view, and which,
" doubtless, was at work before as well as after the time of the Chronicler." This
tendency has something to do with the height of the porch given in Chronicles, which

bas not been aatisfactorily dealt with bj Mr. Caldecott or bis reviewer. Tbe former
bimself remarks, on p. 8 of bis work, " We bave thus (in Kings and Chronicles) two
" parallel streams of bistory, one of whicb is of middle âge origin, tbe otber being of
** comparativelj late date," — and again on p. 10, " Tbe MSS. were accordingly worked

" Tbese bear traces of tbeir Babylonian origin in

Hence in dealing witb tbe account of tbe temple, tbe possibility of altered texta bas to
be borne in mind^ and allowances bave to be made for editorial cb anges, as we consider
and compare tbe varions passages on tbe subject.
To deal now witb tbe cnbit, it is sucb an important subject, tbat a wbole evening
could be spent in tbe examination of tbe metrology of tbe ancients. But for tbe purpose
of tbe présent discussion, it would be well to bear in mind tbat tbe proportional dimen-
sions referred to in tbe paper would not be affected by tbe précise lengtb of tbe cubit
used. Wben it is laid down by tbe autbor so empbatically tbat tbere were tbree
standards of measurements in use at tbe same time, one must examine closely tbe
grounds of bis statement, and tbey are difficult to find. In bis review, Bro. Horsley
says " in comparing tbe * Rule of Gudea ' (an inscribed scale of parts on tbe tablet of
" tbe sitting figure in tbe Louvre) witb tbe Senkereb matbematical tablet," we obtain a
fundamental palm breadtb from wbicb is derived tbe tbree Babylonian cubits : but bo
does not expiai n just wbat we are ail eager to siscertaiu, bow a grapbic scale inscribed

sions of tbe building sbown on plan are known, or tbe scale set fortb.
Tbe autbor too, sbirks description and leaves us witbout any explanation of tbe

Canina makes the sacred cubit 21*81"— or nearly 1' 10" English. Araong the
Jews the 21 "6" cubit was much used. The Gemara names three Jewish cubits, (1) of
five palme, or 18", (2) of six palms, or 21*6", and (3) of seven palms, or 25*2", and
Oppert says of thèse there is a great amount of data showing this 21 6" cubit to hâve
been familîar to the Jews. Lepsins supposes one of the two primitive cubits to bave
been 20-63".
The Senkereh table t h as the foUowing table o£ measare :
Susi = U = 10 80" (or half cubit).
Sakhum = ^U = 5-40".
and cubit = 2U = 21*60" (Oppert).
The Qudea plotting scale bas :
Aspan = ^of 20-89" = 1044".
divided into 16 digits of 0*653", a fraction of
the cubit found also in Egypt.
In Asia Minor we tind the cubits employed at
the Temples of Ephesus = 20*55"
of Samos = 20*62" *
of Priene = 20*90"
the stadia of
Aphrodisias = 20*67"
and of Laodicea zz 20*94"
Ten buildings give an average of 20*63"
Thus it will be seen there is ample évidence for supposing that the cubit of
20*6 inches, and the " sboH cubit" of 18" were in use among the Jews. Fergnsson,
in bis work on " the Temple of Jérusalem, 1865," says (p. 79) : " Let me say a few
" words with regard to the cubit employed in thèse admeasurements. The Jews,
** according to the Rabbis, first used a sraall cubit of 15", and applied it principally to
" the vessels and furniture of the Temples. They next used one of 18",— the first-
'^ named with a hand breadth added ; and, laatly, after the Babylonish captivity, it is
" said they employed the Babylonian cubit of 21" .... For our présent purposes
'^ it is suffîcient to know that for ail their Temple measurements they used tho cubit of
" 18", and that oiilyV
Let us now turn our attention to the précédents in architecture. Among the
Jews, prior to Solomon's time, we learn of several temples, which wereeither (1) private
like that of Micah (Judges xvii., 5), who set upan image andmade one of his sons to be
his priest. " In those days there was no king in Israël, every man did that which was
" right in his own eyes." (2) Public sanctuaries, like that of Shiloh, where, in its
migrations, the **ark of the testimony " rested in the temple (i. Sam. iii., 3 and 15).
(3) The Canaanites had large temples in the days of the Judges, such as the one of
El Berith, at Shechem, where the hold (or vault) was of sufl5cient capacity to contain
1,000 people (Judges ix., 46), and a vast temple of Dagou at Gaza (Judges xvi., 27),
where the Philistines were making sport with Samson, with 3,000 persons upon the
roof, and the temple of Dagon at Ashdod (i. Sam.v., 5 and 6).
But the art of building was at a low ebb among the Jews themselves, and they
cHd not know how to hew timber properly (i. King v., 6), Solomon claiming Hiram's
help, " for thou knowest that there is not among us any that can skill to hew timber
" like unto the Zidonians." This shows their lack of skill in woodcraft, and we know
they were also far behind their Semitic neighbours in the constructive and décorative

arts, and had to call in their Tjrian allies ; so ifc must be admitted that tbe design of
the temple was strongly iufluenced by the school of craftsmen of Tyre. But we must
not exclude frora considération the possibility of Egyptian influence also. From their
long sojonrn in Egypt the Jews mast bave been well acquainted and impressed with the
art and architecture of that country.
The plan of the bouse or " palace " (bckal) of Jehovah, was an extremely simple
one, and consisted of four essential features :
1. The Oracle, or Sanctnm Sanctorum (debir, oracle).
2. The outer chamber, or floly Place, being the naos.
3. The porch, or portico; the pronoas.
and 4. The altar before the door, a common feature in ail countries,
and the whole faced the East. The Temple of Hierapolis was very similiar, and is
described by Lucian : so also was the Temple at Byblus and other Phœnician shrines.
Bnt we know also from Lucian*s description (De Dea Syria) that the front of the
temple at Hierapolis, built by Stratonice, was adorned by two tall and slender pillars,
phallic emblems, with the inscription on them, " Thèse phalli, I, Bacchus, dedioated to
my stepmother, Juno.** So many other shrines were similarly adorned with such
emblems, and we bave abundant testimony in classîc writings of the far-spread pre-
valence of phallic rites. Henee ît is easy to trace from sach a source the use of the two
pillars before the porch.
Architectural criticism demands another class of évidence, in addition to the
written descriptions remaining to us, and the local indications, meagre as they are, that
is, the considération of architectural propriety and commonsense. Fergusson, a critic
we may vote as extremely compétent, points out that " the * litera scripta' alone is not
"sufficient to enable the most leamed men to arrive at correct conclusions on the
" subject ; while the local knowledge (as revealed by the surveyors and explorers) rather
"tends to aggravate the différences betwecn the restorers. Neither alone, nor even
" together, do thèse seem to sufiice, and, in order to obtain any satisfactory results, it
"seems indispensable that the architect should intervene to supply what is inevit'ably
'^ omitted from ail mère verbal descriptions, and to utilise those local indications, whîch,
"in the présent instance, are unfortunatôly scant and not always easily recognisable.*'
He q notes instances from Ezekiel, Josephus, the Talmud, and other sources, which must
be rejected as whoUy improbable. " Where, it appears to me, most of the restorations
" hitherto proposed bave broken down, is becaase thèse principles bave not been kept
" steadily in view." (" Temples of the Jews.")
We require for the best considération of the data a happy combination and care-
ful coUoboration of Hebrew scholarship (to critically examine the technical terms and
building descriptions) — a skilled explorer (with a précise knowledge of the local
évidence) —and an architectural critic with wide archae^ological expérience, who would
not théorise upon a preconceived idea of bis own. With ail thèse difficulties facing us,
the author has not feared to step in and produce bis own reconciliation, which strains
oar patience and severely tests our common sensé. The weak points of his scheme are
too numerous to mention, but among them we may briefly touch upon one or two.
The tower, 120 cubits high, as shown on the drawings exhibited, would hâve
been only a monstrosity in design, and could not be termed a porch, or portico. It
would hâve no stability in exécution, being only 80 by 15 cubits on plan, but 120 in
height, and its immense openings on tbe East and West sides, as indicated, would bave
rendered its points of support ej^trçmely weak.

The winding staircase sbown in one corner of the portico certainly conld never
bave been a spiral stair, for ifc would bc impossible to construct this in Masonry, un-
supported by any waîls and carried only on its central newel, its diameter being 4 cnbits
(4^ feet says Caldecott), and its rise over 100 feet. On p. 269 the author describes it as the
final marvel of **the ascent by which he went up into the house of the Lord" (i. Kings
X., 5), that left no more spirit in the Qaeen of Sheba — although the margin reads, ** bis
burnt offerings which he ofFered in his ascent," etc. — and points to this winding staircase
in this situation as ** partaking of the miraculous/' We think so too. It is extremely
improbable that the priests used this narrow and perilous stair for access to the top
storey, where (Caldecott tells us) the wine was stored for ritnai purposes; the labour
of carrying it up and down would be enormous, they would bave to pass through the
King's Oratory, and the beat of the Store Chamber in the roof would be extremely
unsuitable for the purpose of storing the wine.
The pillars must bave been either structural, or merely ornamental. If the former
they should be so shown in the design, not standing free and placed in an archway : if the
lattèr they probably stood before the porch, in which case they would retain tbeir phallic
symbolism.
They are suggested as standing on bases, and the heights of thèse are given as
3 cubits eacb, for which there is no authorifcy in the text. The argument for this
is weak, almost puérile. We read first (ir. Kings xxv., 17) " The height oi one pillar
" was 18 cubits, and a chapiter of hrass was upon it ; and the height of the chapiter was
" 3 cubits." On p. 245, our author says " The * three cubits ' can only refer to such
" bases, the word * chapiter * either being understood in this sensé, or as taking the place
" of a word now lost." And, at the foot of the same page, he adds, " A simpler
" explanation is that of a mère transposition of words allowing it to read, it was upon
" a chapiter of hrass, instead of as above." — A most convenient gloss, but one we are
unable to accept.
The rhythm of 3, 4 and 5 sounds pretty, and if in related parts of a structure
would form a harmonie proportion. But we fail to grasp it in this form : —
Supra capital ... 4
Capital ... ... 5
Shaft ... ... nil
Base ... ... 3
Neither can we perceive the reason for the statement that the three cubits are
required for the base, to make up the " association of the figures 3, 4, & 5, the foundation
" of the sexagésimal System [of arithmetic] of early Babylonîa." There is no connection
of thèse parts in the structure, nor with the Babylonian metrology ; but if the figures
3, 4 and 5 must be worked in, there is no difficulty in working them in — somehow.

and that the "lily-work" of the supra-capital was really a pattern of white roses.

(1851), writes of the latter, " In thèse there is to be seen a coincidence both with

E^jpiian architecture as we know it, and the Temple of Solomon, at Jérusalem, as
described in the Bible The two brazen pillars niade by Hiram of Tjre,
resemble very closely both Persepolitan and Egyptian colamns. The description of the
position of thèse columns has led to much discussion. Perhaps it was analogous to
that of obelisks before Egyptian buildings The fact that Solomon married
one of Pharaoh's daughters, about 1013 b.c., shows his connexion with Egypt, and
prépares us to find at ail events a coincidence in their buildings Moreover,
the Tyrians, to whom Solomon sent for Hiram, are sapposed by some writers to hâve
been extensively employed as architects by the Egyptians." Earlier than Fergusson or
Godwin, James Morier, the Eastern traveller and novelist, in **Abel Allnutt" (1837),
introdaced a serions essay to the same effect. He says (writing from Persepolis), " the
conclusion I hâve come to is that thèse rains, in architectural and gênerai character,
afFord spécimens of ihe architectural and gênerai character of the Temple of Solomon,"
and that the biblical descriptions of the two pillars " appear very much to illustrate the
very singular, and I believe I may say, the only pillars of the sort in the world, which
are seen hère erect in the building which I call the porch The pillars now
before me to my mind afford an explanation which no other capitals that I hâve ever
seen can give me Thèse columns .... may be fairly said to hâve
originated in the same school as those described in the Bible.*'
The question whether the two pillars were free or engaged is one on which opinions
are divided. Dr. John Lightfoote, in his book on " The Temple," 1650, enumerated
four separate reasons for supposing the pillars were within the porch ; and a récent
Biblical Dictionary impartially gives two plans showing them, in one detached, and in
the other as part of the building.
May I hazai^ the following suggestions why no successors to the tw^o brazen
pillars appeared in the later Temples ? That this was so seems accepted, though it
may be noticed that the prophet Ezekiel, in his vision of the Temple restored, says,
** And he brought me to the porch of the house and measnred each post of the porch
. . . . aud there were pillars to the posts, one on this side, and another on that
side." (Ezek. xL, 48, 49).
(1) Dr. Oliver (Historical Landmarks, 1846, 1. 73^) writes, " At the time when
the Temple was abandoned by Jehovah, he is represented, magnificently, as standing
upon the altar, and commanding the angel of destruction tostrike the heads or chapiters
of thèse two pillars to produce the total ruin of the Jewish State. (Amos, ix., 1). As
their destruction was thus comprehensive and significant, so was their érection symbolical
of the magnitude and splendeur of the Jewish nation under Solomon.*' And at page
447, " They were considered of such importance as to be put for the Temple itself when
its destruction was threatened by the Almighty.*' If the verse in Amos bears this
interprétation (upon which commentators are not at one), the sélection of the two
pillars as types of divine vengeance may hâve prevented their being included in schemes
for the restored Temple.
(2) If there be foundation for the theory (put forward by writers of very diverse
types) that the two pillars had a phallic origin at the beginning, the knowledge of this
would be likely to effectually bar them from restoration or replacement.
A cordial vote of thanks was unanimously passed tp Canon Horslfy for his
paper.

I am not compétent to folio w Bro. Wonnacott iuto the teclinical détails whicb
he brings forward as an arcbitect, but the Rev. W. S. Caldecott writes that " at the base
" of tbem ail lies the fallacj that the Egyptian cubit was that of Palestine. Tbis is not
"so, as the civilization of the Hebrews was Babylonian, and not Egyptian. The
" antiquities of Egypt bave been far more exbaustively stadied than those of Mesopoiamia.
" Among the antiques discovered in the land of the Pharaohs bave been several yard-sticks,
" or cubit measures. Thèse shew that the Egyptians, like the Babylonians, bad three
*^ cubit lengths, and that their fundamental was a palm of 3*6 incbes. The distinction
" was that, wbile the Babylonian multiples of tbis were 3, 4 and 5, the Egyptian were
" 5, 6 and 7. The commonest Egyptian measure is a cubit of 21*6" or 3'6" x 6. It is
" owing to the commensuration possible between the Egyptian and Babylonian measures
" that Mr. Wonnacott doubles the length of Gudea*8 rule, and shows it 21*6", instead of
" 10-8", by making the actual length visible on the slab a half instead of a whole. Tbis
" is donc to bring it into harmony with the aforementioned Egyptian yard-sticks, which
"shew a cubit of 21*6 incbes. For tbis duplication there is no authority, the true
" exegesis being that the larger measure from Egypt gîves us the double of the Gudea
" rule, and so removes any nncertainty as to its exact length.
" Beginning with the Geneva Bible of 1560, Mr. Wonnacott collects évidence ail
" down the intervening centuries as to the scale by which Solomon's pillars were built.
" He seems to be unaware that with in the last 20 or 30 years the whole process of Old
" Testament interprétation bas changed. The new science of Biblical Archa»ology bas
" sprung into being, and bas altered nien's views of tbings recorded, giving us a juster
" view of tbem, and adding immensely to our knowledge and their value ; for example,
" thé late James Fergusson is thougbt by Mr. Wonnacott to be * extremely compétent as
" a crîtic,' but while bis bistory of Architecture is a valuable work, bis théories as to
" Bible facts are puérile, and bave no vaine."
Nothing seems to me more improbable than that in the miud of Solomon and
bis advisers anytbing sbould bave been tolerated, which suggested pballic worsbip,
although, of course, a single pillar had been thus used elsewbere and of old. Solomon
would not bave been deterred by this considération from the use of any obelisk any
more than the early Christian s were from adopting the name of Sunday from the
prœ-Christian Boman Dies Solù.

AN OLD MINUTE BOOK OF LÔDGE PERFECT UNANIMITY,
Now No. 150 MADRAS.
BY BRO, HERBERT BRADLEY, Dis.G.M., Madras.
BOUT a couple of yeai'S ago an old safe, the property of Lodge Perfect
Unanimîty, the key of which had been missing for a long time, was
opened, and its contents were found to be very much damaged by the
climate and other causes. In it was found an old minute book,
covering almost contiuuously the period between January, 1789, and
Febniary, 1795, which was handed oyer to me.
The history of the Lodge will be found in the History of
Freemasonry on the the Coast of Coromandel, by Wor. Bro. Malden, an old member of
the Quatuor Coronati Lodge. I do not propose, therefore, to refer more than quite
casually to anything connected with the history of the Lodge, but there is plenty of
interestiug matter in thîs old book, especially in so far as it illustrâtes the points in
which the practice of Masonry 120 years ago differed from its présent forms.
The book was in an almost hopeless state when it reached my hands, many of the
pages being in imminent danger of falling to pièces from the ravages of the climate.
My first step was to hâve it carefuUy re-written by a brother Masou, and its contents
will, I hope, be available for many years to come.
Other documents, which are still extant, show that at the date of thèse minutes
a Gommittee sat continuously for the management of the affairs of the Lodge, but the
proceedings of the Commifctee for the period oovered by the minute book are missing.
This Gommittee appears to hâve undertaken many matters which at the présent time
would be dealt with in open Lodge ; for instance, on one occasion it sent greetings to
the Grand Lodge of England throngh Brother Golonel Ecoles Nixon (afterwards Sir
Ecoles Nixon, Provincial Senior Grand Warden in 1796), a namesake curiously enough
of the officer recently commanding at Bangalore.
The Lodge itself has worked continuously for at least 120 years, and at first it
met twice a month throughout the year, and the W. Master was elected, and installed
twice during each year. The installations took place on St. John's day in winter and
summer. At présent the Lodge, like ail other Lodges in Southern India, meets every
month.
It was the prectice to impose a fine upon any brother who absented himself from
the Lodge without an apology, and this was done under the bye-laws. Instances are
not uncommon in which a fine, once intlicted, was remitted by the Lodge when a
reasonable excuse, such as absence on officiai duty, was fortlicoming at a subséquent
meeting, and this course became so common that on the 7th March, 1794, the Lodge
resolved to enforce fines for non-attendance when the minutes were read. In fact,
the minutes show a continuons struggle by the Lodge to enforce pnnctual attendance.
A list of members fined in this way follows the attendance roll in the minutes of every
meeting.
On the Ist October, 1789, an example was made of a brother, and it is recorded
that the Lodge found itself " obliged coUectively to take notice of the inattention which

** Bro. bas for some time past shown to the datîes of Masonry and to the by-laws
" of the Society." It was accordingly resolved nnanimously to infiict a fine of two
pagodas apon him,
At the followîng meeting another brother managed to get bis fine remitted on the
gronnd that bis servant throagb wbom be bad sent a letter of apology had faîled.to
deliver it.
On the I7th December, 1789, what îs described as an exemplary fine of five
pagodas (£2) was inflîcted on the Junior Warden, who was then Senior Warden elect.
On the 15th November, 1790, it was resolved that the fine inflicted npon a certain
brother for non-attendance sbould be expunged irom the minutes, which was not in fact
done.
This matter became a burning question in April, 1791, wben Bro. Symes wrote
refusing to pay the fines imposed upon him, and it was ordered that a letter shonld be
drafted saying that bis name wonld be erased from the list of members unless be paid.
Owing to " thin " Lodges (the attendance about this time was bad), the case was not
considered until the 2nd June, wben a prominent member of the Lodge, Bro. Miaule,
undertook to admonish Bro. Symes, and the brethren suspended their former resolution
•and indulged in the hope that they may shortly be able to entirely do away with it.
On the 16th June, Bro. Symes attended and explained *' to the satisfaction of the
'* Lodge that any offence be might bave given was unintentional on bis part." The
fines were accordingly remitted, and the résolution of the 20th April was " also doue
'• away."
On August Ist, 1793, it was resolved to call upon Bro. Dunbar to attend the next
meeting in order to explain bis neglect of bis duty i& attending the Lodge. He
resigned by letter.
In October, 1793, Bro. Smith was called upon to appear before the Lodge for
disrespect fui behaviour towards the Lodge in not having attended for some time. Bro.
Smith probably attended at the next meeting and explained, as he was présent in
Lodge on the 7th and 21st November. The minutes of the second meeting in October
are missing.
On the 3rd April, 1794, the Lodge resolved that in future verbal apologies for
non- attendance would not be received.
On the 18th September, it was noted that Bro. Kerr had been absent without
apology for four meetings, and it was decided to call upon him to explain.
On the 2nd October, it was observed that Bro. Kerr had lef t the station, and bis
case was postponed.
On the 16th October, Bro. Kerr's apology for absenting himself and for leaving
the Presidency without taking leave of the brethren was received. " The Lodge taking
" the matter into long and serions considération, and adverting to the peculiar
** circumstances of bis situation during the latter part of bis résidence hei^, and -v^hich
" tliey are of opinion would alone bave excused an omission so reprehensible, accept of
" the apology."
The practice of addressing letters of farewell to the Lodge wbenever a member
was leaving Madras for a lengthy period of absence, may be inferred from Bro. Kerr's
case, and many auch letters and the replies made to them are mentioned in the minutes.
Wbenever any degree was worked, it was the practice to call the Lodge from
labour to refreshment at once, and driuk the health of the brother concerned.

The opening and closing of the Lodge was altogether différent to the présent
practice. An E.A. Lodge would be opened and closed, and then a F.C. or a M.M.
Lodge would be opened and closed. A F.C. Lodge would not be opened at ail unless
there was work to be transacted in that degree, but a M.M. Lodge could be opened
immediately after the closing of an E.A. Lodge, or the Lodge could be opened originally
in the third degree. The final closing was of the E.A. Lodge, a Lodge in that degree
being generally opened afresh at the end of the day's work for the purpose of taking
the Treasurer*s accounts after the Lodge had been closed in the superior degrees in
which it had been working. Occasion ail j the Lodge appears to hâve been closed in the
second or third degree without being reopened in the tirst.
An arrangement which is seldom considered necessary at the présent time was the
practice of taking the ballot separately for each degree. A brother would accordingly
be proposed for the second or third degree at one meeting, and balloted for at the next,
precisely as was done in the case of initiâtes. As a ru le it was not until the meeting
folio wing the ballot that he received the degree In some cases a candidate for the
second or third degree was found not qualified, or he applied for an adjoumment on the
ground that he was not prepared, but there was no case in which a ballot for thèse
degrees proved unfavonrable.
A typical day's work (Nov. 3rd, 1790) may be abstracted from the minutes.
The names of the brethren présent are entered : —
E.A. Lodge opened and Minutes of last meeting read and ap proved.
Apologies received.
The W.M. informs the Lodge that the Secretary bas had to leave Madras
on the public service, and bas requested him to inform the brethren,
expressing the hope that the urgency of the case will be admitted as a
sufficient apology for not having taken a formai leave.
Resolved unanimously that Bro. be requested to oflSciateas Secretary
until next St. John's Day.

Bro. having been found duly qualified is ballotted for and unanimously

2â transMitons of the Quaèuor Coronati Lodgè.
There Avas the greatest want of aniformîty iu practice if tlie minutes are to be
believed, but the minutes themselves are not always carefully recorded. Thus sorae-
times a brother who was a candidate for the second degree was balloted for in an E. A.
Lodge, and sometimes in a M.M., and similarlj with candidates for the third degree.
Sometimes the minutes were read and confirmed when the Lodge was working in tho
first, sometimes in the second, and sometimes in the third. On one occasion, in 1789,
the Lodge was only opened iu the M.M. degree.
AU sorts of business would be transacted at an émergent meeting, and émergent
meetings were held with practically no notice given.
On one occasion a certain brother was called away on daty. At the next regalar
meeting he was proposed, and, contrary to the usaal practice, ballotted for at once, and
three days later he received the second degree. No reason is given for the emergency
in the minutes.
The W.M. altered the day and place of meeting at his own discrétion, for instance,
at the second meeting in April ib was decided to hold the meetings of the Lodge on
Wednesdays instead of Thursdays for the convenience of Bro. Chamier, and the change
was made at the next meeting without the resolution even having been confirmed.
Any Mas ter Mason could become Mas ter of the Lodge. There was no necessity
for him to hâve held any particalar office. Thus Bro. Linley was made a M.M. at an
émergent meeting on the 14th Jaly, 17^1. His speech on this occasion is given in fall
below, as reported in the minutes. He took his leave of the Lodge at once, and was not
mentioned again until December, 1792, when he was made Secretary in anticipation of
his return to Madras. In June, 1793, he was made Master.
The I.P.M. had no recognized position in the Lodge. This appeai^s fiH)m the
fact that the W.M. on one occasion had to leave Madras during his period of office, and
suggested to the Lodge that the S.W. should replace him. The S.W. stated that he
could not spare the time, and he and tho I.P.M. were requested to withdraw. On their
return the Lodge requested the I.P.M. to accept the office, and he consented to do so,
and he received the thanks of the Lodge " for his readiness in complying with their
** reqnest, especially when they consider how much of his time is employed in attending
** to the daties of the Stewards' Lodge."
It appears to hâve been customary to read the warrant of the Lodge on the day
of the Installation, but this was sometimes donc in an E.A's. Lodge, and sometimes in
a M.M*8.
Elsewhere in this paper cases are mentioned in which honorary members were
made without any notice to the members of the Lodge, but a similar in-egularity, of a
more serions nature, was committed by the W.M. on one occasion when a brother
was proposed as a member of the Lodge and electcd without notice of any kind being
given.
In March, 1791, the W.M. explained that the last regular meeting had been
postponed (it was really omitted) in conséquence of the Quarterly Communication of
the local Grand Lodge, and, to avoid clashing, the day of meeting was again altered to
Thursday, instead of Wednesday. By this time Bro. Chamier had left Madras. Again
the change was brought into effect before the minutes were confirmed. Again, in the
É.A's. Lodge, the W.M. annoanced that owing to " indispensable business arising from
" the despatch of aship to Europe having prevented the attendance of most of the M.M's.
" he proposed to postpone a raising." About the same time the attendance of meetings
became very bad, often as small as only six members. The Secretary often acted as
Junior Wai-den. One meeting in April, 1792, was " not attended."

On the 2nd Febraary, 1792, the Lodge was first opened in the second degree, and
the minutes were read and approved. The Lodge was closed and opened in the M.M's.
degree, after which it was closed in that degree and an E.A's. Lodge was opened.
The minutes of the last regnlar meeting were always read and confirmed at the
ensuing meeting, even if it were an émergent one, and résignations were accepted,
membei's proposed, and other business, not in the least of an émergent nature, would be
transacted at émergent meetings. Once or twice candidates for a degree were examined
in open Lodge after the Lodge had been opened in that degree, and on one occasion two
brethren were so examined.
On one occasion the Lodge was originally opened in the F.C's. degree, and, after
a candidate had been passed, it was closed and opened in the E.A's. degree, and it was
not until after it had been called ofF and called back to labour that the minutes of the
previous meeting were read.
At the Installation Meeting, in June, 1793, the Senior Warden designate was no*
présent, at the next following meeting a Master's Lodge was opened for the express
purpose of installing him. The Provincial Grand Master used to take about bis Grand
Orator with him, and on one occasion was addressed by him as follow^s : —
" Right Worshipf ni, and Most Respectable Provincial Grand :
" I hâve received with a satisfaction to myself , only to be surpassed by the
" sincerity with which they are dictated the commands of the Right
" Worshipf ul Master in the chair, to assure you in his name as well as in
" that of the officers, and Members of this Lodge, that the happiness we
" feel at your présence amongst us is as great as it is unfeigned."
This was followed by a long speech full of such fulsome adulation that one is
inclined to think that the Grand Orator of those days must hâve been selected for his
powers in this direction. The W. Master who is referred to as the Right Worshipf ul
Master was Bro. James Araos, at that time Past Provincial Senior Grand Warden, and
the fact that he was so addressed in the présence of the Prov.G.M. shows that this
practice was considered correct. A similar form of address was nsed in the case of
W. Bro. Harailton later on. Observe aiso the custom under which the W.M. delegated
to some one else the duty of addressing the Prov.G.M.
Shortly after this meeting the Prov.G.M. was made an honorary member of the
Lodge, and this was done in a Master's Lodge, so that F.C*s. and E.A's. had no say in
the matter.
When the W.M. was absent from the Lodge the S.W. took his place, and when
the S.W. was absent or in the W.M. 's chair, the J.W. acted as S.W., the chair of the
former being occupied by another brother. Occasionally the S.W. gave degrees.
When any officer of the Lodge was called away from the Presidency, another
brother was proposed and elected in his stead for the remainder of the term of office.
This was done even when the W.M. was ordered away, but in the only case in which
this occured the I.P.M. was elected.
In 1789 a meeting of the Lodge should hâve been held on the 7th May, but it
was called on the 14th, and the W.M. înformed the brethren that this had been done
in order that they might be able to attend a dramatic performance " exhibited for a
charitable purpose ** on the 7th.
Provincial Grand Lodge met quarterley on the two St. John's days, and on the
first Weduesdays in March and Septembçr. (Malden*s History, p. 35.) The meetings

t,
of the Lodge must hâve clashed prettj frequently with those of Prov.G.L. during the
tinie whea they took place on Wednesdays.
The practice in the matter of the élection of officera was very interesting, and
shews that the Lodge was still workiug under the bye-laws drawn up by the " Athol *'
Grand Lodge in 1771, although it had surrendered its "Athol" Warrant and accepted
another issued by the " Modems." The W.M. invariably proposed the S.W. as his
successor, and the Lodge proposed another brother. A ballot was taken, and the resuit
declared. The W.M. elect took the chair and put forward a name for the S.W. 's chair.
The Lodge proposed another name, and the ballot was again taken, and so on. On one
occasion the Lodge proposed the J.W. as Master, and he was elected, although he had
only held office for two months. The Wardens, Secretary and Treasurer were elected
in this way, and the W.M. appointed the Senior Steward, and the S.W. the Junior
Steward. The W.M. elect then vacated the chair, and the Master again took it.
Deacons are first mentioned in 1791, when the W.M. appointed the Senior
Deacon, and the S.W. the Junior. In 1795 the Deacons were elected by the Lodge. In
1803 the bye-laws were reviaed, and during the ballot for the chair the W.M. 's nominee
and the nominee of the Lodge were required to retire. Accordiugly on the occasion of
the first ballot under the new bye-laws, as the Lodge proposed the W.M., and the W.M.
the S.W., both those officers had to retire, and the J.W. took the chair. The Lodge
met once more after the élection under the retiring W.M., when the minutes were con-
firmed, and the installation took place at the foUowing meeting, which was on St. John's
Day, a day more or less given up to Fi'eemasonry so far as the members of this Lodge
were concerned. At the installation meetings, when the Lodge was called from labour
to refreshment, it was the health of the outgoing, and not the newly-installed Master,
which was honoured.
It was announced in the Lodge that a payment of five pagodas quarterly from
Lodge funds to Prov.G.L. had been agreed to at the Quarterly Communication, and thia
was put to the Lodge for confirmation. This would seem to imply that it was only with
the consent of the Lodges that contributions to Prov.G.L. were coHected from them.
Two or three, and sometimea more articles of the bye-laws used to be read at nearly
every meeting, so that the whole of them were gradually read through in Lodge.
The W.M., on his installation, did not invest hia own officers, but thia waa done
by the installing officer, and when the W.M. and his officers were reinvested for a
second period of office, this was done by another brother, the W.M. vacating the chair
in his faveur, and he reinvested ail the officers.
The relations between Lodge Perfect Unanimity and the French Lodges were
very amicable. The foUowing are the more important matters which came before the
Lodge. On the 2nd April, 1789, an interesting addresa from the R. Lodge of Triple
Hope in the Isle of France was read. This address was prepared in the Lodge of Triple
Hope " Assembled in an open Lodge of the High degrees," and it bore the date, February
16th, 5788, but it was received in Lodge Perfect Unanimity, in the Entered Apprentices*
Lodge.
The term R. Lodge was applied in the correspondence both to Lodge Perfect
Unanimity and to the Triple Hope Lodge. The French Lodge sent to the English a list
of its brethren " who are advanced with the High degrees'* and commended them
to the English Lodge.
Prov.G.L. appears to hâve been consulted, and the W.M. announced that the pro-
posed correspondence between the two Lodges had its approval, upon which a Committee
was appointed to address the Lodge of Triple Hope.

On the 4th Jane in the same ycar, after the closing of the E.A.'s Lodge, a
Masfcers' Lodge was opened for the purpose of receîving Bro. Dagott. The Masters'
Lodge was then closed and the E. A.'s re-opened, and that Brother presented a packet
from the Lodge of Triple Hope " containing a registry of their members " and recom-
mending him.
The replj prepared to the address receîved from the Lodge of Triple Hope was
then approved, and the Committee which had drawn it up was reconstitnted fco reply to
the présent communication.
On the Ist October, 1789, the Cosmopoli tan Lodge of Pondicherry by letter
annonnced to Lodge Perfect Unanimity its consécration nnder constitutions from the
Grand Orient of France.
On the 5th Noveraber the Lodge recorded a letter from Bro. Robson reporting
the cordial and friendly way in which he had been received by the Cosmopolitan Lodge
and on the 17th December the Secretary of that Lodge personally presented a packet
from his Lodge.
On the 17th January, 1790, Bro. de Laurens, who is described as a visiting
member and who was apparently a member of the Pondicherry Lodge, received his
third degree in Lodge Perfect Unanimity. He does not seem to hâve been proposed,
nor was a ballot taken for him. A letter to that Lodge was entrusted to him.
On the 4th March a letter was received from the Cosmopolitan Lodge at
Pondicherry " acqnainting us of the zeal they hâve demonstrated for the Royal Art by
" Promoting Bros. Robson and Griffiths [members of Lodge Perfect Unanimity] to a
" high degree," and the Lodge orderèd that a letter be written to the Cosmopolitan
Lodge " expressive of our attention for the regard they hâve demonstrated to Bros.
" GriflBths and Robson, and further, that as a mark of our attention we bave referred
" their letter to the Lodge of the Royal Arch." — From which it seems that the
Cosmopolitan Lodge worked the Royal Arch Degree.
On the 18th March a letter was received from the Grand Lodge at Calcutta
addressed to the Grand Lodge at Pondicherry with a reqnest that it might be
forwarded. So much importance was attributed to this correspondence that upon many
occasions spécial committees were appointed to draf t the communications which were
sent to the Lodges in Pondicherry and the Isle of France.
On the 24th June it was recorded in the minutes that Bro. Dubée had presented
a letter from Bro. Mehiel of Pondicherry reporting the receipt by Lodge Triple Hope
of the letter from Lodge Perfect Unanimity but that the Lodge had been unable toshow
any attention to Bro. Dubée owing to the shortness of his stay in Madras.
On the 7th July the W.M. reported how kindly he had been received by the
Cosmopolitan Lodge at Pondicherry, and a letter thanking them was ordered to be
written. A letter was aleo received from that Lodge enclosing a list of their members
and recommending Bro. Bernés to the attention of the Lodge.
On the 5th January, 1791, a letter was received from "Ye Cosmopolitan
Pratemity," with an " accompanying letter from that Lodge to the Grand Lodge of
" Bengal requesting that the latter may be forwarded after we hâve perused it." It
was sent through the Grand Lodge of Coromandel, with the request that " the wishes
" of our French Brethren may be carried into exécution as early as possible."
On the same date a letter was received from the Lod^e of Les Amù Réunis^
" lately constituted by the Cosmopolitan Fraternity."

On the 5th January, 1792, a letter was receivcd fiom the Lodge Triple Hope, in
the Isle of France, requesting a continnance of the corrospondence between the Lodges
and a committee was appointed to veply through the Cosmopolitan Lodge, Pondicherry.
On the 21st February, 1793, " Bro. Hamilton in conséquence of the earnest zeal
" with which the Cosmopolitan Lodge at Pondicherry bas oultivated the friendship and
" correspondence of the Lodge of Perfect Unanimity and in conséquence of many wishes
" expressed for an amicable and Brotherly continuation proposes that Brother Secretary
" do draw up a letter of thanks addressed to the Cosmopolitan Lodge, and that it be
" laid before the Lodge the next regnlar meeting." This was agreed to unaniraously
and the draft Tvas approved at the next meeting.
On the 2nd May Bro. Danzas presented a letter from the Cosmopolitan Lodge
" expressing their wish that the friendly correspondence which bas long subsisted
" between the two Lodges may be kept up." Bro. Danzas was promptly made an
honorary member of Lodge Perfect Unanimity, witbout notice of any kind.
On the 30th Aug^st an émergent meeting took place. It is clear that it was
called in order to receive Bro. de le Tang, late Worshipfal Master of the Cosmopolitan
Lodge, who was made an honorary member of Perfect Unanimity at this meeting. In
returning thanks for the honour done to him, Bro. de le Tang begged leave ** to express
" (in the warmest terms) the thanks of the Cosmopolitan Lodge for the very gênerons
" manner in which they remembered the unfortunate monarch, Louis the I6th, on
" last St. John's Day, and assured the Lodge that words are inadéquate to the task
" imposed on him by bis Brethren, of declaring their gratitude for such a mark of
" humanity and benevolence."
The health of Bro. de le Tang and the Cosmopolitan Lodge was drunk " with
" ail the bonours of Masonry " when the Lodge was called off, and it was resolved
subsequently in Lodge to address a letter to the Cosmopolitan Lodge, " through the
** médium of Bro. de le Tang, expressive of our fraternal regard, and the happiness we
" expérience at the uninterrupted correspondence likely to take place between the
" Lodges as heretofore."
It will be observed that Bro. de le Tang made a distinctly political speech, and
that Lodge Perfect Unanimity, at the last St. John's Day meeting, had showu
"humanity and benevolence" towards the ex-King of France. The minutes unfor-
tunately do not disclose what was done on that occasion.
On the 3rd April, 1794, the Lodge was first opened in the third degree, and Bro.
Cimfurgine of the Cosmopolitan Fraternity was received and made an honorary
member. The Fellow Crafts and Entered Apprentices of the Lodge were allowed no
say in the matter.
On the 7th August, in the B.A's. Lodge, Bro. Lucas informed the Lodge that
Visiting Bro Vernicour "who is in waiting bas attained a very high degree in
" Masonry," and proposed that be should be received by the brethren with the bonours
due to bis rank. A Masters' Lodge was therefore opened " for the purpose of admitting
" Visiting Bro. Vernicour." The Masters' Lodge being closed, a Fellow Crafts* was
opened, and Visiting Bro. Dring, who was introduced " as having three times filled the
" chair in the Lodge at Calcutta," was admitted. The différence made between the
two brothers is very marked.
On the 2nd October, the Lodge was again opened originally in the third degree,
and " the Visiting Masters " were admitted. One of them was named Dufourg, and
on the 6th November, a " translation was read of the letter from the Lodge of

" to those of onr nation who may be now endurîng the miseries of captivity was entitled

Lodge made Bro. Dufourg an honorary member of the Lodge.
The relations between English and French Masons in India and Mauritins, as
shown in thèse minutes, are very interesting, and the référence to Louis XVI. especially
so, as showing even in those days a political tendency in French Masons.
Financially the Lodge may be said to bave been in a very favourable position
during the period. At the beginning it had a balance of 160 star pagodas (about
£64), and over 100 pagodas at the end. Its disbursements were considérable as may
be gathered from the following facts. In July, 1789, a " gold medal " was voted to the
outgoing Master. The Lodge had agreed to contribute 20 pagodas (£8)* per mensem,
towards the discharge of the debt upon the Hall at wbich the Lodges met. This was a
voluntary contribution, and as the funds of the Lodge were somewhat crippled by it, it
was decided, in the same year, to reduce it by one half. Early in 1790 a remittance of
£h sterling was sent to the General Charity Fund in England.
It would appear that in 1787 a jewel had been voted to a certain brother. It had
not been presented three years later, and, the inteoded récipient having died, the Lodge
decided to présent it to his widow. Accordingly it was despatched by a ship leaving
Madras for China, to a brother who was known to be going home — acuriously round
way of sending it to England.
Provincial Grand Lodge received 5 pagodas a quarter or £8 a year.
It appears that the ''ballance" due to the Stewards for the expenses of the
dinners on St. John's day was disbursed from the Lodge Funds.
In 1791 a grant of 30 pagodas (£12) was made to a distressed brother on his
proving himself a Mason, and the Senior Tyler Was given a pension amounting to his
f uU pay.
In 1792 it was agreed that the expenses of the St. John's Day festival should
be made up from the Lodge Funds, as they had not been met by subscription, and 100
star pagodas was voted to the Royal Cumberland Freemasons* School. In the following
year the W.M. announced that the Prov.G.L. had proposed to pay the Rev. Bro. Kerr,
who was to be appointed Prov.G. Chaplain, 30 pagodas per mensem, but their funds were
inadéquate, and he proposed to pay 30 pagodas per mensem to Grand Lodge, which was
agreed to. It was also agreed to pay 30 pagodas per mensem to the Senior Warden,
until his affairs became better, and to remit his dues, as his troubles were due to the
Nawab of the Carnatic having refused to pay him money due to him.
At the beginning of the next year it was found that the number of suppers was
too great a tax on the Lodge funds, and it was decided to i*educe them. It does not
seem to hâve struck anyone that £12 a month was a considérable amount to pay a
member. In March of this year the funds were rednced to 2 pagodas.
In May thero was a déficit in the accounts. Nevertheless in June the family of
the late Senior Warden, who had considérable claims against the Nawab of the
Carnatic, was granted 30 pagodas per mensem, and a subscription to pay his funeral
expenses and the arrears due to the Lodge was raised. The history of this case, and of
another in which the Lodge did its best to obtain the récognition of claims on the
Nawab, himself a Mason, by the children of Masons, is fully set forth by W. Bro.
Maldeu. The déficit disappeared at once, but it is not clear by what meansi

2é Tfansactions of the Quabior Coronati Lodgè.
The minutes thernselves are very carelessly recorded, and it would seem doubfcful
whether they were read through before being confirmed. Thus Capt. Bell, who was
proposed on the Ist April, 1790, was initiated on the 15th, bat the fact is not recorded
in the minutes though it is stated that the health of onr newly admitted Bro. Bell
was drnnk when the Lodge was called off. Again, there is no record of the meeting of
the 15th December in the same year though it is clear that the minutes of the meetings
of the Ist and 15th December were mixed up. The following is an abstract of the
minutes of the Ist.
An E.A. Lodge was opened and the minutes read and approved, apologies
reneived, and certain brethren fined. Then there was an initiation, and the Lodge was
called to refreshment. The Lodge was recalled to labour, and a candidate for initiation
was balloted for. The W.M. proposed the postponement of a ballot for the second
degree. The Lodge was again called to refreshment, and recalled to labour.
The £hA. Lodge was closed, and a F.G. opened. No .business was done in this
degree but the Lodge was reopened in the first degree.
The élection of the Mas ter and officers for the ensuing year was held.
Then two candidates for initiation were balloted for, and the Lodge was again
opened in the F.C. degree, after which the brother whose ballot had been postponed was
passed after ballot. The Lodge was again opened in the first degree, and three
brethren who were only proposed at this very meeting were initiated separately, etc., etc.
It is obvious that ail this work could not hâve been done at one meeting, and also
that three candidates for initiation, and one for passing could not hâve been admitted
to two degrees at the meeting at which their names were proposed. Mistakes as to the
date and day of the week on which meetings were held are veiy common.
On one occasion the speeches made when the Lodge was called ofE for refresh-
ment were reported pretty f ully in the minutes, and on one there is no record of the
Lodge having been opened in any degree except the third, and noue whatever of its
having been closed.
In 1789 it was recognized that the practico which had been followed with regard
to applications for initiation was wrong, and the Lodge decided that in future
candidates désirons of being initiated should pétition, and their pétitions should be
presented by the brother who proposed them. What the préviens practice had been is
not quite clear.
On one occasion in 1790 the installation was postponed owing to the absence of
the W.M. designate in Pondicherry, and he was not installed until the 7th July instead
of the 24th June.
In the same year a certain visitor stated to bave formerly been a member of
Lodge No. 152 "wishes to be considered a member of No. 1 (Perfect Unanimity)
" agreeable to a resolution passed at the union of the two Societys." His name was
ordered to be "incerted " in the list. No notice of any kind was given. The facts as
to the union referred to, and the position of Lodge No. 152, formerly an Athol Lodge,
are giyen in W. Bro. Malden's history.
On the 20th November, 1794, the place of meeting was changed from the
Masonic Hall to the Panthéon. The former appears to hâve fallen into disrepair. No
notice of the change seems to hâve been given.
The dates of meetings are at first given Anno Mundi, and then Anno Domini
until Mardi 1793. But in that month the date given is the 2 Ist March in the year of
the true light 1794. The next meeting is said to hâve been held in the year of ti*ue
light 5794, and the next in 1793.

An ôld Minute Èook of Lodge Perfect tJnaniviity, now iHo. 150 Madras, àô
At the end of 1794 tlie Secretary was instructed to keep the minutes of each
clegree separately, aud the minute book at once became more confnsed than ever. The
book contains only the minutes of the third degree from and after January 15th, 1795.
Thèse meetings appear to hâve been held on the 6th, 12th, 21st, and 24th February.
The last is described as an Emergent meeting. On the 12th it was proposed that Bro.
Jones should be balloted for at the next meeting, and reçoive the third degree at an
Emergent meeting to be held by dispensatiou. Accordingly the ballot was taken on the
21st, and he was admitted on the 24!th. If a.dispensation was obtained thè fact is not
recoi-ded.
Quaint terms of expression and quaint practices abound.
The W.M. read a paper on Masonry, and was tlianked by the Lodge *' for the
** very excellent discouree which he had afforded.*'
A lecture in the first degree was " passed round " by the W.M.
On the 17th September, 1789, Bro. Gahagan, at that time Dep.Prov.G.M., and
afterwards Prov.G.M. of Madras, was received as a visitor from the Carnatic Militaiy
Lodge " with the honours of Masonry," in the M.M. Lodge. The Lodge was closed in
that degree and opened in the F.C's., after which a lecture in that degree was passed
round by Bro. Gahagan. The Masters' Lodge having been reopened ^* a lecture in the
" sublime degree passed round with a most instructive discourse by Bro. Gahagan."
It was resolved that when any brother résident in England applied for a certifi-
cate one should be granted in payment of a pagoda, and an additional rupee " to be at
" the disposai of the Secretary."
Again '* an élégant discourse applicable to our Society " was read by the W.M.,
'* and at another meeting " a discourse on and illustration of the first plate of Masonry "
was given by the W.M.
A certain brother was married, and the W.M. cansed a congratulatory address to
be delivered to him, and laid it before the Lodge for approval, explaining that it would
bave been too late if lie had waited to consult the Lodge at the rogular meeting, and
he thought it unnecessary to call an émergent meeting. The Lodge approved of the
address and thanked the W.M. for his action.
On the 18th Febriiary, 1790, the W.M. proposed that " the sisters be requested
" to honour us with their company to supper at the Lodge when the members sup
" together," which was agreed to unauimously.
To be " incerted " in the list and "agreed unauimous" actually occur in the
minutes.
On more than one occasion the Tyler was dismissed for misconduct. His Lodge
and Grand Lodge were informed on one occasion.
The W.M. once proposed that certain brethren be ** rose " to the third degree.
A brother resigning the Lodge requested that he might be " discontinued as a member
" thereof." The Dep.Prov.G.M. attjnded the Lodge, and gave the third degree, and the
minutes gravely record that at the proposai of the Dep.Prov.G.M., the health of our
newly raised brother was ** drank with the honours of Masonry in fuU Lodge^ At the
élection in June, 1792, the W.M. elect proposed Bro. C. as S.W. : the Lodge proposed
Bro. B. The resuit is recorded thus : " negatived in favour of Bro. B." At the same
meeting, " This being the first meeting since the marriage of our W.M. the Worshipfnl
" Elect proposes to drink a Bumper to the health of our Right W.M., and his Lady our
" fair sister wishing them health and every happiness which the Marriage State can
" afford with ail the honours of Masonry." This was, of course, when the Lodge was
at refreshment.

If the minutes ai"e correctiy recorded, it was not considered necessary for the
W.M. to do more at an élection than propose that the Senior Warden should succeed
him, for it woald appear that on one occasion the Lodge candidate was elected nnani-
mously against the Senior Warden. This would imply that the W.M. had voted against
his own candidate. Candidates for initiation are stated to hâve attended ^' by order,"
and to hâve been " proposed to become members of Masonry."
The officers of Lodge No. 5 were admitted as visitors on one occasion, by vote, on
the proposai of the W.M.
By rcquest made in Lodge at one meeting, the W.M., at the next, indulged the
Lodge with a lecture. On the 16th May, 1793, it was pointed out that " the canopy &
*' curtains which are intended as ornaments of the Lodge are in a state of great decay,'' and
it was proposed to replace them.
On the 20th June the ballot for a candidate being favourable the Secretary was
instructed to request his attendance next Monday moming at 9.30. Next Monday was
the day of the installation and the meeting of Provincial Grand Lodge, so that the
brethren would bave plenty of Masonry on that day. When the Lodge was endeavouring
to recover for the S.W. the sums due to him by the Nawab of the Carnatic, the S.W. and
visitors were requested to withdraw when the subject came before the Lodge. Brethren
going to Ëngland used to apply to their Lodge for certificates from Provincial Gi'and
Lodge
In 1794 there was a very serions dispute between the W.M. and Bro. Smith.
It would appear that the W.M. had turned Bro. Smith out of the office of Steward, and
Bro. Smith by letter demanded a Gommittee to enquire whether the W.M. was riglit in
doing so. The question was deferred as the attendance of M.Ms. was so small. Two
meetings later the question was considered in open Lodge, the W.M. vacating the chair.
The Lodge then requested Bro. Smith to withdraw his letter on or before the ensuing
meeting " until when the minutes of the former Lodge are not to be decyphered." The
minutes of the former meeting had already been approved.
The W.M. apologized and absented himself from the next meeting, but Bro.
Smith declined to withdraw his letter and the question was postponed as the W.M. was
absent.
At the following meeting Bro. Smith's complaint was submitted to a Committee
consisting of the M.Ms. of the Lodge. At the next meeting nothing was done. At the
following meeting (the installation) thanks were voted to the W.M. for his services
during the time "he bas so respectably filled the chair" but no further business
relating to Bro. Smith was transacted. At the next following meeting, however, the
Lodge unanimously resolved that the conduct of the late W.M. was marked by
modération and a steadfast conformity to established usage.
In this year it was resolved that certificates might be granted to the brethren of
their rank and degree in masonry " and that 2, 3, and 5 pagodas be the value of the
" respective certificates."
" It was proposed that the thanks of this Lodge be given to Brother Creuse for
" the able and obliging manner in which he bas executed a plate for Raising a Master
*' Mason." It would be interesting to kuow what this plate was like and what it meant.
In conclusion it may be of interest to quote a couple of speeches as recorded in
the minutes. The tirst was made by Bro. Linley on the l^th July 1791. He was
initiated on the 19th January in that year, and an émergent meeting had to be called in
order to put him through the third degree as he was leaving Madras.

An Old Minute Book of Lodge Tei-fect Unanimify, now No. 150 Madras. 31
The record runs thns : —
" Lodge called to labour. Bro. Linley addrcsses tlie Lodge, and expresses
"liis regret at beiog obliged to leave a Society, which whilst from its
" Sacred institution he haa ever contemplated with révérence, he had
"frequented with the warmth of a Brother, purified by the exemplary
" conduct, and fîrm attachraent he had been a spectator of . That the
"great and undeserved honor which the fraternity had conferred upon
" him that night would always carry with it a double impression on his
*' breast, as when he reflected on his situation as exalted to the dignity of
"a Master Mason he could not but remember that he owed it to the
" condescention of his Brethren, and consequently join in every opportunity
" of testifying his gratef ail sensé of so high an obligation. If persevering in
"thedutiesof Philanthropy — If making the charitable hand the responser
"to the supplicating Tongue, If tempering mercy with justice, Forgiveness
"with Pénitence, or, in our more social moments, Tempérance with
" Conviviality, were the Characteristics of a Mason, altho in person
" seperated from the enviable assembly, yet his heart should always be
" with it, and whilst it followed the Example before it must emulate those
"Virtues, and exult in the practîce of them. He hoped that the
" Worshipf ail Master would believe him when he aflBrmed that to folio w
" the doctrine he displayed in a late lecture, which he should never think
" of but with deserved admiration, should be his firmest resolution, and
" that he had only to regret his séparation from such a Monîtor. He
" then took his leave, sincerely hoping that the Brethren should stand
" upon the same basîs, supported by pillars, which [unadorned] with any
" superficial grandeur, that would appear as an incitement to the ignorant
" to partake of our Mysteries, stood solely decorated with the dignified
" simplicity of real virtue."
The second was delivered by the W.M., on the 6th September, 1793. The entry
in the minutes is as folio ws : —
" The Worshipful Master addressed the Lodge, and expressed his regret
" on being called upon in his Public capacity to announce the death of a
" worthy and valuable brother — Lient. Col. Maule — who had fallen at
" Pondicherry in the cause of liberty, and his country. He observed that
" were he to sum up the whole of those excellent qualifications that so
" endearingly distinguished his character, and calls forth his own
" private feelings in the pleasing though painful task of dwelling
" upon them, he might possibly exhaust his own spirits, and throw
" an unwelcome and an unnecessary damp on those of his Brethren :
" that some tribute however was his due and that whilst he represented him
" as lost to this Society, a warm, a zealous and an affection ate promoter of it,
*' he hoped to be excused should the sentiments of his own private feelings
" break through the formai cérémonials of a public Panegyrick. As a
" Mason he observed that the Lodge had only to refer to those élégant
" productions which Colonel Maule had occasionally favored the Fraternity
" with, and which breathed the spirit of the Institution in every line.
" That his respect and vénération for moral truths were thus forcibly
" expressed in ail the purity of diction and strength of reasoning ; nor did

" he rest this assertion upon his own opinion, but referred it to those of
" his Brethren, wlio witli him had been the admiring Hearers. As a Man
" and a Oentlevian in the cheerful Orders of Society that he had been
" still the Mason uniting the Philanthropy, and Benevolence of that
" saered name, to the sweet and social converse of the friend, and the
" companion, and proraoting every charm of rational conviviality, without
" ever having lost himself in Its abuse. That his genius, originally pure,
" had shone forth from an enlightened and cultivated raind, with an
" élégance peculiar to itself and free frora the ostentation of snperior
" leaming, and, that his Urbanity, both in public and private life, had
" given an exemplary grâce equally to his actions, and his conversation.
" As such a Man, the Worshipful Master had admired him, and he
" sincerely hoped there was not a Brother in the Society — however little
" acquaintedhe may hâve been with Colonel Manie when alive — but would
" offer up that tributary regret to his memory, always due to intrinsic
" worth, in whatsoever breast it résides. He then moved that the
** Secretary do draw ont a suitable Mémorial, and that it be entered on
" the Records of the Proceedings, moreover that the Hall be clothed in
" black for the space of two months, as an additional proof of the
" Brethren's regret.*'
" The Lodge, in conséquence of what the Worshipful Master has said,
" acquiesce unanimously in confirming his Eulogy, and joining with him
** in every sentiment therein contained ; they feel with him the loss they
" hâve sustained, and are thus happy in demonstrating their sincère
** sorrow, and treasuring up Colonel Maule's memory with a gratefnl
" sensé of his perfections, they leavo him to those heavenly blessings, and
" that secure tranquillity which he now enjoys, and which can alone be
" experienced in the Présence of the Most High."
" Brother Hamilton proposes that the thanks of the Lodge be presented
" to the Worshipful Master for the very élégant, and explicit address
" to the Society which so pathetically detailed the many virtues once
" exercised by our departed, and ever to be regretted Brother Lieut-
" Colonel Manie."
Thèse samples will make many of us congratulate ourselves that we did not live
a hundred years ago. If they are fair spécimens of the speeches that used to be made
in Lodge, it is not surprising that members submitted to fines rather than attend Lodge,
though it must be admitted that on the whole the attendance was decidedly good. I
am writing, of course from a personal point of view, but they would hâve bored me to
death. The little touch which refers to Col. Maule's tempérance is a speakipg comment
upon the times. The custom under which the Lodge room was put into mourning,
while the brethren do not appear to hâve made any change in their clothing, is
noteworthy. The florid oratory of Bro. Linley, a very young Mason, is an excellent
example of the pedantic style of the period.

It will be noticed that thèse certiticates show the existence of a Royal Arch Chapter in Paris
stated to be working under powers received from the Grand Lodge of Penusylvania. So far nothing
has been found in the records of that Grand Lodge throwing any light upon the matter and it ia
considered probable that the degree may hâve omanated from the Rite of '* Elect of Trath " or
" Parfaite Union " which was introduced in Philadelphia by French omigrants from France and San
Domingo. This Rite had nothing whatever in common with the Grand Lodge of Penusylvania nor wm
it recognised hy the Masonic authorities there.

SOME OLD SUBURBAN TAVERNS AND MASONRY.
BY BRO. J. PERCY SIMPSON, P.M. 176.
S in my two preceding papers, " Old City Taverns and Masonry " and
'* Old London Taverns and Masonry," I hâve given some account of
the ancient Masonic homes in what may be styled London proper, I
thought it might complète our subject, and be of some interest to the
Brethren, if I collected, in another paper, some facts with regard to
the Masonic Taverns in the outlying districts adjacent to London.
I hâve used the words * outlying districts * because I am afraid
the title of ttis paper, " Some OUI Saburban Taverns and Masonry," is in some respects
misleading. Of course, the subarbs of the eighteenth century hâve now become an
intégral part of London, and other country villages hâve taken their places.
Before visiting in détail the varions localities, I think it would add interest to
our travels if I gave hère a very brief gênerai sketch of the rise and development of
Suburban London. It will not be necessary to go back very far, for at any rate up to
the time of the Tudor period, there were l'eally no suburbs at ail, and the Cities of
London and Westminster stood in solitary grandeur. If we look, however, at Van de
Wyngrerde*s map {clrca 1543) from the Sunderland Collection in the Bodleian Library,
which is familiar to most of us, we shall see some scattered houses on the Fleet River,
in Moorfields, and Finsbury Fields. The religions houses of Clerkenwell, and St.
Martin's Church, were still, however, surrounded by pasture land and gardons, and
Islington and Paddington were far removed, quiet villages.
Still, there are slight indications about this period of the filling in, so to speak,
of the spaces of ground between the villages to the north and west, and the two Cities.
We see, at any rate, that the common fields began to be enclosed with hedges and
ditches, and Kdward Hall, writing in the sixth year of Henry VIII., relates how the
citizens of London sallied forth with the cry of " Shovels and Spades," and filled in the
dit^îhes and broke down the inclosures which had been placed around what they considered
their récréation grounds ; but, he adds, " after which time thèse fields were neverhedged
but now we see the thing in worse case than ever, by means of inclosures for gardens
wherein are buîlt many fair sammer houses ; and, as in other places of the suburbs, some
of them like Midsummer pageants, with towers, turrets, and chimney tops, not so much
for use and profit as for show & pleasure, betraying the vanity of men's minds, much
unlike the disposition of the ancient citizens who delighted in the building of
Hospitals and Almshouses for the poor, and therein both employed their wits and spent
their wealth in preferment of the common commodity of this our City." Some of the
above remarks of our friend Hall might well h ave been written in the seventh year of
Edward VIL
Under the reign of Elizabeth, the houses in the fields outside the gâtes gi'adually
multiplied, and caused Her Majesty much alarm, as it was feared that the increased
numbers of inhabitants would make provisions scarce and spread the plague. By a
proclamation dated at Nonsuch in 1580, confirmed by another in 1602, it was forbidden
to build houses within three miles of the City Gates. It does not appear, however, that

thèse régulations were strictly enforced, and in any case tliey were ineffectuai, for Stow
says that about bis time tbere was not only a great number of buildings erected in tbe
vicinity of the City, but that likewise in the City itself sites of old maiisions had been
covered with lesser édifices. Except for a prohibition by James I. in 1610, against the
érection of bouses in Lincoln's Inn Fields, no other act was passed dealing with the
sabject, and London soon lost its old-world limits, and expanded on every side.
I bave, however, a theory that suburban life, as we know and understand it, first
came into being after the Great Pire of London in 1666, and was further promoted by
the fire in South wark in 1676, and the later terrible City fires of 1748 and 1765.
If we examine contemporary writers at the time of the Great Plague and Fire of
London, such as Pepys and Evelyn, and tho realistic narrative of Defoe, we learn that at
that period, a vast number of the inhabitants of the City migrated to the villages in the
vicinity. Doubtless, many retumed to réside again in or near their old homes, but a
considérable number of merchants and tradesmen had found from expérience that they
could live in the country and yet carry on their business in the city.
The roads, also, at the end of the seventeenth century, apart from the great
highways, began to improve somewhat, and the first Act for the repair of the public
roads was passed in 1678. Without doubt, the early part of the eighteenth century saw
a marked advance in the.security and facilities for travel to and from the city. For
instance, in Kent's ** Guide to London,** 1740, we learn that numerous coaches started, in
some instances three times a day, from " The Chequers,** Charing Cross, the " Goose and
Gridiron,'* St. Paul's Churchyard, and the "Flowerpot Inn,'* Bishopsgate, for the
western and northern suburbs. The citizens of London in the eighteenth century
appear to bave resided in the City itself or the suburbs, and not in the west end of the
town. Indeed, there was no period, perhaps, when the séparation of the Aristocracy of
the west, and the Traders of the east, was more distinct and clearly defined. On rare
occasions only, the upper classes invaded the City, as in the case of the South Sea
Bubble. Thus we see a number of résidences began to he erected in Stepney,
Tottenham, Islington, and even as far as Hackney and Hampstead to the north, and
Kensington and Hammersmith to the west. So the country villages of the eighteenth
century began to be more intimately connected with, and drawn into, the life of London,
and the suburban System gradually developed.
In 1791 Horace Walpole writes to his friend. Sir Horace Mann, " There will soon
be one street from London to Brentford ; aye from London to every village ten miles
round.'*
In Sir Richard Phillips* " Morning Walk from London to Kew (1817),*' he views
with interest in the early 'raorning the dwellers in the Suburbs hurrying to work in
coaches and on foot, " I amused myself with a calculation of the probable number of
persons who thus every day between eight and six pass to and from London within a
distance of seven miles. In the présent route I concluded the numbers to be something
like the foUowing 200 from Pimlico 300 from Chelsea 200 from Kings Road and Sloane
Street, 50 from Fulham & Putney and 50 from Battersea & Wandsworth ; making 800
per day. If theu there are 20 such avenues to the Metropolis it appears that the total
of the regular ingress and egress will be 16000 persons of whom perhaps 8000 walk,
2000 arrive in public con voyances and 6000 ride on horseback or in open and close
carriages. Such a phenomenon is presented no-where else in the world ; and it never
can exist except in a city which unités the same combined features of population, wealth,
commerce, and the varied employments which belong to our own vast metropolis.*' The

Tavern, in 1761. The other Lodge was founded in Gibraltar, in 1785, and subsequentlj
had its home at the Royal Artillerj Tavorn, Woolwicli Comnion, in 1794. The union of
the two Lodges took place in 1826.
Passing westwards to Defiford (Deepford in the older maps), we arrive at a
localitjr which, from the tirae of Henry VIII. down to 1769, was the birthplace of nearly
ail the English Navies. ** This town," wri tes Lam barde, in 1570, "being a frontier
between Kent and Surrey was of none estimation at ail, until that King Henrie the
eight advised (for the better préservation of the Royal Fleete) to erect a Storehouse and
to create certain office rs there : thèse he incorporated by the name of M ai s ter aud
Wardeins of the Holie Trinitie for the building keeping à constructing of the Navie
Royall." Lambarde is probably wronghere, however, as the Corporation of the Trinitj'
had no connection with the Royal Navy and the charter does not mention any duties in
connection with it. The Corporation was probably the successor with augraented
powers of a more ancient Guild or Fraternity of Seamen.
It is interesting to note that two of oar oldest Lodges had their birthplace at
Deptford, namely, the Neptune Lodge No. 22 which met for the first time at "The Griffin,"
Back Lane, in 1750, and the Lodge of Friendship No. 206 at " The Oxford Arms,"
Church Street, in 1784. The oinginal founders of both thèse Lodges were workmen
engaged in constructing the old " wooden walls " in the neîghbouring Dockyard. I see
that there are also two other Deptford Lodges that still flourish, namely, the Lodge of
Justice No. 147, which met at ** The JoUy Potters " in 1806, and the Lodge of
Tempérance, which had its home at " The White Swan," High Street, in 1867. Another
" Swan Tavern " {Plate I.) in this neighbourhood is to be noticed. It stood in a
picturesque situation near the River, and was approached by a wooden Bridge. It was
situated practically on an island, and in the stream near by the rather cruel sport of
chasing ducks by dogs seems to bave been indulged in. A Lodge met hère as early as
1742, but was erased in 1748. Others came later but only for a short time. Indeed, I
find that in Taverns of, so to speak, "holiday resort," the stay of Masonic Lodges was
brief.
Before finally leaving this locality we must not pass by a very famous old time
house of entertainment, the "Jamaica House Tavern" at Rotherhithe. (Plato IL)
This was a very favourite place of resort for nearly a century, the House containing
good accommodation and pleasant garden. It is supposed at one time to hâve been
tenanted by Cromwell, and Larwood says that after the Restoration it became a Tavern.
Pepya notes in bis Diary that on the 14th April, 1667, he took his wife and her maids
for an outing hère. " Over the water to Jamaica House where T ne ver was before and
the girls did run wagers on the Bowling Green and thus with much pleasure spent but
little and so home." Only one of the Lodges which met hère survive, namely, the
Lodge of Sincerity No. 174, which met hère in 1790. The engraving shows the street
and this old Tavern at that period. This House was puUed down in 1854.
And now passing on to Bermondsey and Southwark, which can conveniently be
taken together. And hère I must ask for some indulgence, for the old Taverns of this
locality are so numerous, and they call up so many memories, historical, anecdotal and
Masonic, that to do anything like justice to the subject would require a lengthy paper
in itself. We can therefore only sélect a few with spécial Masonic association.

of St. Thomas à Beckefc at Cauterbury to wliich in olden times thousands resorted every
year, it is not surprisiug that the borough became celebrated for its Inns which con-
tributed miglitily to its prosperity."
Stovv in liis " Survey of London'* (1598) says : '*From thence (the Marshalsea)
towards London Bridge on the same side be many fair Inns for the receipt of travellers
by thèse signs the Spurre, Christopher, Bull, Queens Head, Tabard, George, Hart,
Kings Head, &c.*' The carions n\ap shown in Plate III. is taken from the Duchy of
Lancaster Records cîrca 154î2, and shows the position of the Inns mentioned by Stow
and many others.
Of the Inns above recorded, " The Spur," " The Qaeen's Head," " The Tabard
or Talbot," " The George " and " White Hart " remained in much of their ancient
picturésque state till late in the last century, " The George," however, is now perhaps
the sole survivor.
Let us then commence with ** The George." It stood, as you will see by the
map, close to " The Tabard," and had a courtyard and galleries. In 1676 it was burnt
down in the great Southwark Fire which is referred to in the diary of the Rev. John
Ward, published a few years af ter this event. " Go ver and his Irish ruffians burnt
Southwark and had £1000 for their pains said the narrative of Bedloe. Giffard a Jesuit
had the management of the fire. The 26th of May, 1676, was the dismal tire of South-
wark. The fire beginning at Mr. Welsh's an oilman near S'. Margarets Hill betwixt
the ' George * and * Talbot ' Inns as Bedloe in his narrative relates." It is to be
noted that ail fires at this period were conveniently attributed to the Jesuits, and that
Bedloe whom the Révérend diarist quotes was not an historian of strict veracity.
" The George " was, however, rebuilt on the old site and according to the old
plan. When Mrs. Scholefield, a descendant of Weyland, the landlord at the time of the
great fire, died in 1859, it was parchased by the Governors of Guy*s Hospital. Hère the
Gihon Lodge No. 49 had its first meeting place in 1810. " The BulFs Head" Inn close
by appears in the List of 1723.
" The Three Tuns Taveru " in the.High Street was the home of three well-known
Lodges :— St John's Lodge No. 90, in 1820 ; the Kent Lodge No. 15, in 1852; and the
United Mariners* Lodge, in 1858.
If Southwark and Bermondsey were noted for their Taverns, they were also well
sapplied with prisons, and Masonic Lodges seem for some years to hâve been associated
with them, for one was held at the King's Bench Prison, Southwark, in 1752, and in the
same year one met at the Marshalsea Tap House. Both thèse Lodges were under the
Antient Grand Lodge. I hâve introduced hère an old view of the Marshalsea Prison
(Plate IV.), as below it has a useful little plan of the High-street, and the situation
of some of the Taverns about 1750.
" The King s Arms " (Plate 7.), which afforded a home to Masonic Lodges,
namely, an old Lodge which met there in 1732, and tbe Lodge of Constitutional
Attachment in 1778, was a well-known coaching inn, and did a great business with
waggons and caiTiers* carts.
" The Queen*8 Head " (Plate VI.) mentioned by Stow was another quaint Inn
having an inner yard and galleries on one side only, one to the first, and «nother to the
second floor. The yard was approached by a high gateway from the street. Hère a
Masonic Lodge met in 1759. And last but by no means least comes the famous *' White
Hart Inn " (Plate VII.) where Mr. Pickwick first met Sam Weller. It had the largest
sign except " The Castle " in Fleet Street. Jack Cade and some of his foUowers put up
at this Inn during their brief possession of London in 1450. The original Inn was

burnt down in 1676 but was rebuilt and was only finally pulled down about 1890. It
consisted of several open courts the inuer one liaving fine gallerics on three sides. Hère
several Masonic Lodges met but the onlj one now surviving is the Lodge of Amity
No. 171 which met hère as late as 1830.
The Royal Manor of Lambeth eau boast of many historical buildings, and
clustered round them many ancient though perhaps not very noted Taverns. As late as
1560, bowever, Pennant tells us there was not a single house standing between Lanibeth
Palace and Sonthwark. Indeed the place was ail open country even in the reign of
Charles II. Pepys, writîng in his Diary, July 1663, " Weut across the water to Larabeth
and so over the fields to Southwark." Ralph Aggas' map of London shows only one
house besides the Palace of the Archbishop and Lambeth Church. Still there must
hâve been at least one Tavern existing in the days of Charles II. as he used to give
little private parties at " The Three Mariners " uear the Church, coming over the water
from Whitehall. The chair in which he is said to hâve sat on thèse occasions was
preserved in the lun till it was pulled down.
In the eighteenth century Lambeth mursh abounded in pleasure gi'ounds and
gardons, and the Taverns near by did a good trade. Chief araongst thèse was " The
Old Crown and Cushion '* Lambeth marsh. This Inn was sometimes the résidence of
an eccentric adventurer known as " Duke of Bolton, King of Vine Street and Governor
of Lambeth marsh." He had served in America and also in Admirai Hawke's fleet at
the defeat of the French at Brest. He afterwards settled down hère and devoted his
incomo to relieving the poor in the ueighbourhood. At ** The Crown and Cushion " the
Constitutional Lodge No. 55 met in 1790, moving to "The Crown," Narrow Lane, in
1800.
At this latter house the Vitruvian Lodge No. 87, met in 1831. At " The Crown "
in 1735 Dr. Martin Van Butshell was born. Hc was an eccentric quack who afterwards
practised with great success in Mount Street. He allowed his beard to grow down to
his feet and rode a pony which he paiuted whitc with black spots. He died in 1810.
Close by also resided our Masonic " Brother " the Chevalier D'Eon. Angelo, in
his réminiscences, says he used to see the Chevalier walking in the neighbourhood.
** He lived a few doors from Astley's Théâtre. He always dressed in black silk and
looked like a w^oman worn out with âge and care."
Cuper's Gardons, vulgarly called Cupid's Garden, once occupied the site of
Waterloo Road. It was laid out by one Boyder Cuper, a gardener at Arundcl House,
Strand, in 1682, and the amusements were dancing, music and fireworks. Cuper was
succeeded by a Mr. and Mrs. Evans, but the Gardens became somewhat disreputable,
and were closed in 1752. Mrs. Evans, theu a widow, then opened " The Feathers Tavern "
on the same site. The présent " Feathers Tavern," stands back a little further fi-om
the river than the old Inn. In 1822 the Constitutional Lodge No. 55 met hère.
Another Lambeth Marsh Inn was known as ** The Wheatsheaf," and can boast
that it was the birthplace of the oldest of ail the Lambeth Lodges, as it had a Lodge
meeting there in 1754.
Lambeth, more fortunate than other localities, has a manuscript lîst of the old
local Taverns in 1810, and several of thèse were well-known coaching Inns, for it must
be remembered that when only one Bridge existed the coaches to Portsmouth, Hamp-
shire and Dorsetshire started from Lambeth. So Pepys, in his Diary under date 1660,
"We took water to Lambeth and then coach for Portsmouth." " The White Hart,"
Fore Street, and " The Lion and Lamb," Prince^s Street, were alike coaching Inns and
Masonic meeting places.

Some Old Suhurhan favems and %tasonry. 45
Till about 1830 there still survived in the South Lambeth Road, nearly opposite
wbere the Library now stands, an old house known as the Turret Honse. Hère the
eminent nàturalist and traveller, John Tradescant, lived in the reign of James I. He
and his son ccrllected a wonderful muséum of curiosities, a catalogue of which was
published in 1656. The father died in 1638 and the son in 1662. Bro. Elias Ashmole
(whose house in Sbire Lane we noticed in my last paper) was a great friend of the
younger Tradescant, and he records in his Diary, December 14th, 1659, " This afternoon
they gave their scrivener instructions to dravv a deed of gift of the said closet of
curiosities to me." On the deatli of Mr. Tradescant, his wife disputed the deed, but
Ashmole succeeded, and went to live at Turret House. In 1683 Ashmole presented the
muséum to the University of Oxford, and died at this house in 1692.
Waxdsworth, which cornes next in our travels westward, is so called from the
River Wandle, which, rising in Croydon, flows through Wandsworth and so into the
Thames. This river was, Isaac Walton tells us, celebrated for its trout, though a later
writer describes it as " the aiuk of the country." When Lysons wrote his " Environs
of LondoD," in the year 1792, this hamlet consisted of about tifty houses by the side of
a small common. It could, however, boast of two good Taverns, both of which were
patronised by Freemasons. Of those two " The Turk's Head,*' South Street, was the
best known, possibly because it was at this house that the " Garratt Election " was held.
This curions custom had its origin from the inhabitants deciding to elect a représentative
or ** raayor " to look after their interests, and prevent encroachments on the common
rights, etc. It was decided to elect a fresh représentative at each gênerai élection for
Parliament. Robert Chambers, in his " Bock of Days,*' gives a fuU account of the
varions scènes enacted hère for the mock élections of the borough of Garratt. He has
a shrewd suspicion that the local publicans, and, no doubt, especially the landlord of
" The Turk's Head," found it to their interest to encourage the fun, the printed
addresses and the mock processions of candidates. The two last members elected were
an old wig maker called Jeffrey Dunstan, who was imprisoned in 1793 for séditions
expressions, and Harry Dimsdale, a muffin seller, who died of drink. Foote brought ont
a farce in 1761, entitled " The Mayor of Garratt," which had a considérable success. In
a curions drawing, by Valentine Green, representing the starting of the mock pro-
cession of candidates, we see " The Old Turk's Head " on the right. Hère a Lodge was
meeting in 1753, and at the other principal Inn, " The King's Arms," a Lodge was
constitnted in 1757.
Before leaving the neighbourhood of Wandsworth we must notice one Tavem by
the riverside at Battersea, " The Red House," {Plate VIII.). The Inn, as shewn on
the eograving, is probably of about the begiuning of the last contury, but I think it is
the successor of a much older Ta ver n. It had the distinction of being noted MasonicalJy,
and also for the shooting matches held hère. It was in fact the headquarters of the
Gun Club for some years. The promises were x)ulled down in 1850 for the Park
improvements.
PuTNEY, or Pottenheth, as it was called in the sixteenth century, is described by
Strype, in 1720, as a place "graced with large and good buildings, well inhabited by
gentry ; and the more for its good air and diversions it large Heath affords. Where
there is a Bowling Green well resorted to in the summer months." Later, in 1750,
Horace Walpole, writing as to the appréhension of one James McLean " the gentleman
highwayraan," says " McLean had a quarrel at Putney Bowling Green two months ago
with an officer whom he challenged for disputing his rank ; but the captain declined
until McLean should produce a certiticate of his nobility.'^ The " Bowling Green " House

is interesting to the Craft as it appears to hâve been a very favourite place in the first
half of the eighteenth centurj for wbat are now known as " summer meetings." We
read in the Baily Posty May 18th, 1739, an advertisement : — " Those Brethren who intend
to wait on tbe Right Honourable Lord Raymond Grand Master of the Antient and
Honourable Fraternity of Free & Accepted Masons to dino at Patney Bowling Green
to-morrow tbe 19th înst : are requested to take Tickets in time that Bi-otber Parry may
niake suitable arrangements for them.
Tickets to be had at Mr. Moody's Sword Cutlor to His Majesty and the Prince
of Wales near Temple Bar Mr. Berry's at tbe Théâtre Coffee House in Bridges S'.
Covent Garden & Forrests Coffee House.
N.B. Dinner on Table at 2 o*clock precisely and ail Brethren are required
to come clothed."
The above is the 'tirst notice that I can find of thèse " Summer or Country
Meetings " in tlie suburbs, and, as we come across them again in Hampstcad and
Islington, it may be interesting to glance for a moment at their origin and bistory.
Tbey would appear to bave been informai meetings orgauized by the Deputy Grand
Master for the time being, and Bro. Henry Sadler, some time ago, looking through
the Minutes of Grand Lodge, found tbree références to them tberein under date 26th
May, 1749. " The D.G.M. informed the Lodge that himself and several Brethren
intended to dine at Bro: Viponts at Hampstead on Saturday tbe 17th June next an
desired tbe Company of such as it suited to dine with hin." There is a similar notice
given on 25th July, 1750, to dine at Bro. Perry's, at the Bowling Green, Putney, and
again on the 18th June, 1752. The last notice in the minutes is in 1798, fora dinner at
Canonbury House, Islington. Doubtless it was a yearly occurrence, but it was not
always mentioned in Grand Lodge, and the notice was made by advertisement, or cards
sent out to those eutitled to attend.
Bowling Green House seems gradually to bave decliued as a place of entertain-
ment, and became a private résidence aboutl760. Hère, afterwards, William Pitt lived
fot several years and died in 1806, The old '' Castle Inn," in the High Street, was also
tbe home of the Britannic Lodge No. 33, in 1758, and the " White Lion " had a Lodge
meeting there in 1765.
RiCHMOND is not mentioned in Domesday, it was probably then but a waste and
included in tbe Manor of Kingston. It was known by the name of Sheen until about
1500, when it was called Richmond, by command of Henry VIL, who, before tbe Battle
of Bosworth, was Earl of Richmond, in Yorksbire. It seems to hâve been a Royal
Manor from the time of Edward I., who resided there, and in 1300 received the Scotch
Commissioners " at bis Manor of Sheen on the Thames." The Manor long continued
to be the résidence of royalty, but Strype, in 1720, speaks of the Palace as " now decayed,
and parcelled out into tenements." However, about this period it had become a
fasliionable resort, and on the 4th of June, 1749, Horace Walpole writes to Sir H. Mann,
" To-day as I passed over Richmond Green I saw Lord Bath, Lord Lonsdale, and half
a dozen more of White's Club sauntering at the door of a house they bave taken there,
and come to every Saturday and Sunday to play whist. You will naturally ask why
they cannot play at whist in London on those days as well as on the other tive ; indeed
I cannot tell you except that it is so established a fashioH to go ont of town at the end
of the week that people do go though it be only into another tow^n. It made me smile
to see Lord Bath sitting there like a citizen that bas left off trade."

Some 01 d Snhurhnn Tavernff and Masonrtj. 47
spécimens are known. By the courtesy of the Librarian, Mr. Barkas, and tlie Committee,
I was allowed to take a Photograpli. Tts date is probably about 1720, and shows tbe
situation of the varions Taverns referred to below.
With the advent of the fashionable folk the old Inns of the Town and Green
improved and Masonie Lodges bep^an to fréquent theni. ** The Red Lion," at Richmond,
had the distinction of appearing in the Lists of 1725 and 1726. This Lodge took the
name of the Richmond Lodge, in 1734, and lapsed finally at the Freemasons' Hall, in
1797. The origin of the sîgn of " The Red Lion " is derived, no doubt, from the Badge
of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lanoaster, and the original Tnn stood in the main thorough-
fare, at the corner of George Street and Hill Rise. The site of the Inn was moved
back, however, some distance up Red Lion Street about 1755, and this latter Inn
was only pulled down some weeks ago. Chancellor, in his '* History of Richmond,"
states that hère, in 1638, one, William Crowne, was created Rouge Dragon Pnrsuivant
of Arms in Ordinary, and Mr. Dugdale, the Antiquarian, was made Blanck Logon
Pursuivant. He qnotes also the quaint ceremony of Investiture, There is a notice in
the Evening Post of the 28th February, 1736, which runs as follows :—" Notice is hereby
given that the Old Red Lion Inn, at Richmond, in Snrrey, kept by Henry Fudger,
Pemke Maker of that place, is now opened where Gentlemen, Ladies, and others will
be entertained in the best manner."
" The Red Lion " had, however, a Masonie rival of a little later date, " The Dog,"
afterwards known as " The Talbot," further up the hill. A Lodge, first meeting in
Clare Mark et, migrated there in 1739.
"The Dog" is not an unfrequent sign, and /we find a Tavem of that name in
Westminster, where Pepys often resorted. The word "Talbot" was an old, and now
almost obselete, ter m for a large kind of hunting dog.
The well-known " Castle Inn," Hill Street, afforded aJiome for a Lodge known
as the Pythagorean Lodge in 1788, and it continued to meet hère till 1794, and a little
further down, at the corner of King Street and Water Lane, nearly opposite ** The Red
Lion," stood ** The Feathers." Hère a Lodge that had removed from Isleworth met in
1770, and was erased in 1794. The Assembly Room and other apartments, including
the original staircase, still form part of the premises in the rear of Nos. 1 and 2, King
Street.
" The Cricketers" on Richmond Green no doubt derived its name from the game
played on the space in front. I know of only one other old Inn bearing that name, and
this was situated at Chelsea Bridge, and had a beautiful sign, painted by Morland. I
wonder what became of this Sign ; it would now be very valuable. The Chelsea
" Cricketers *' was pulled down in 1824, and, ouriously enough, the Richmond House
was, I see from a newspaper cutting, burnt down on the 22nd of August, 1824. A
Lodge met hère in 1784, but was erased in 1828.
" The Greyhound," still one of the principal Inns in Richmond, bas had a varied
career, and at one time it held a prominent position in Masonry, being the home of the
Lodge of flarmony No. 255, a distinguished suburban Lodge. This was the last Lodge
founded by Thomas Dunckerley, and was, possibly, first held in his apartments at
Hampton Court Palace, as the Somerset House Lodge (now the Royal Somerset House
and Inverness Lodge No. 4) first saw the light in his Rooms, at Somerset House, after-
wards it met at " The Toy Tavern," Hampton Court. In Bro. Sadler's History of
Thomas Dunckerley (pp. 126 to 129), five letters are set ont written by Dunckerley to
the Grand Secretary, Bro. White, containing références to this Lodge. Bretbren who
wish to get a clear insight into Masonry in the eighteenth century should read thia

History. Hère, gathered round the personality of this great and " serions " MasoB,
will be found much tbat is carions and much of trne romance in the early vicissitudes
of our Lodges.
Crossing Richmond Bndge, we now continue our travels eastwards, and must not
omit a short visit to BREXTFORn, as it had in any case one fancious Masonic Inn. In Sir
Harris Nicholas's History of the British Orders of Knighthood (Garter), p. 79, we find
that " Henry VI. hekl a Chapter of the Order of the Garter at the Lion Inn (aft«rwards
Red Lion Inn) at Brentford, when Sir Alvaro Vasquez d'Almada, a Portuguese Knight
(whom for his great zeal and good love fhe King created him Earl of Avranches in
Norraandy with a pension of 100 marks a year), and Sir Thomas, afterwards made Lord
Hoo and Hastings, appears to hâve been eîected, and they as well as Sir John
Beanchamp were installed on the 16th August foUowing." This Inn at any rate, as
far as its interior was concemed, retained many of its historié features until late in the
last century. It had the distinction with " The Red Lion '* of Richmond of a place in
the List of 1725, the two first recorded Lodges of our présent suburbs.
The town possessed two other famous Inns, "The Castle" and "The Three
Pigeons," but they were not Masonic, and the only Tavern of interest remaining is
" The Star and Garter " at the foot of Kew Bridge. Parts of the présent House are, I
think, fairly ancient, and afforded a domicile for Lodges at the beginning of the last
century. No doubt, however, this Inn is the successor of a much older house which
stood on the sarae site. I think it is referred to by Pepys, under date 20th August
(Lord's Day), 1665, and during the period of the Great Plague of London : — " And so
away to Brainford and there at the Inn that goes down to the waterside I alight and
paid off my post horses, and so slipped off my shoes and laid me bv, the tide not
serving, and to church where a duU sermon, and many Londoners. After church to
my Inn and eat and drank A so about 7 o'c by water & got betwcen 9 & 10 to
Queenhive very dark. And I could not get my waterman to go elaewhere for fear of
the plague."
On the 16th of September, 1665, he further records that this waterman must
hâve caught the plague at Brainford, for he died sorae eight days afterwards, an event
' which much alarmed the Diarist.
The ancient name of Hammersmith in the Doomsday Book is Hermoderwode,
and it was originally part of the parish of Fulham, but the Parishes were divided in
1834. Bowack, in his " Antiquities of Middlesex " (1705), describes it as a village
situated on the Thames, and extending north as far as the Great Western Road, and
having many good bouses in and about ifc, inhabited by the gentry, and persons of
quality, and in the summer forming a retreat for the nobility and wealthy citizens of
London. The town was not eut off from the outer world, however, as two important
highways met hère, and the arrivai and departure of coaches and passenger waggons
kept its many old inns gay and busy. In Murray's Environs of London (p. 80) we find,
" In the early part of the 19th century there was a pleasant cottage called ' The
Seasons,' an appendage of the Dover Tavern, and the favourite smoking resort of the
Duke of Sussex (G. M,, 1813-1843), who is said to hâve kept htre a choice assortment of
meerschaums." According to Lyson, " The Seasons " was latter known as " Sussex
House."
Apparently Masonry first appeared in Hammersmith in 1768, when an old city
Lodge, known as " The Caveac Lodge," left its home at the Caveac Tavern, Thread-
peedle Street, and started afresh at " The Windsor Castle Inn," Hammersmith (Flate X.).

Some Old Suhurhan Tavems and Masonry, 49
A good old coacbing inn this, still standing with many signa of its antiquity in its
interior and stables. The Lodges nsed to meet in a long room wHich is seen to the west,
and abutted on the road.
" The Angel," which stands close to the Windsor Castle, in King-street, was later
the Masonic home of two Lodge.
*'The King's Coffee Honse " has disappeared, bnt hère in 1825 a notable Masonic
gathering took place. In Fanlkner's History (p. /)o) the following account of this event
is given : — " On the 7th May, 1825, the fonndation Stone of the north Tower (of the
bridge) was laid by His Royal Highness the Dnke of Sussex with Masonic ceremony.
The cofFer-dam being fitted np as an amphithéâtre, in which the stone was snspended.
At four o'clock the Royal Dnke arrived, and the officers of the Grand Lodge assembled
at the Latimer School Room, and the Lodge was opened by the Master and Wardens
of the Caveac Lodge, No. 292. The procession then walked from the School Room to
the Broadway, down Angel Lane, in Masonic order. On arriving at tho entrance the
procession divided and took their station right and left, and the Duke passed to the
platform. The ceremony of laying the stone commenced after three cheers had been
given for His Royal Highness. The Grand Treasurer delivered to him a bottle con-
taining coins of the reigning sovereign ; also a brass plate to be placed over the cavity.
On the stone being lowered, the Duke scattered the corn and said, " As I hâve poured
the corn, wine and oil, emblems of wealth, plenty and comfort, so may the bridge tend to
commnnicate prosperity and wealth from one end of the island to the other. God bless
the King." The procession then retnrned in the same order, and His Royal Highness
dined with the nnmerous company at the King*s Coffee Honse. And so, perhaps, as Mr.
Pepys wonld say, to " The Seasons," where the meerschanms were kept for a quiet
smoke.
The " Bell and Anchor " (Plate XI.) was also a famous coaching inn on the North
Road. In Faulkner's History this inn is thus described, as it appeared in 1839, when
Masonic Lodges were meeting there, " Adoining the Tnmpike, on the west is situate the
* Bell and Anchor ' Tavern. The honse has long been nsed by the magistrates for hold-
ing the Petty Sessions of the Kensington Division of the Hundred of Ossubston, for
which purpose it is particularly well adapted, being centrally situated, as regards the
parishes of Acton, Brentford, Fulham, Chelsea and Kensington, and their Worships
the Magistrates hâve even fonnd it convenient for business, the room being appro-
priately filled up and arrauged. The varions rooms in the honse are omamented with
Chinese and other oriental drawings, collected by the proprietor during his voyages in
the Bast Indies. During the early part of the reign of George III. this honse was much
frequented by the nobility and gentry, and several humorous caricatures respecting this
place and its visitors were published by Bowler and Carver, Saint PauFs Churchyard."
The Court suburb of Kensington next merits our attention. It is wrîtten in the
Domeaday Book " Chenesiton " and the name is probably derived from the family of
Chenesi who owned some manors in the reign of Edward the Confesser. " Kingly "
Kensington as Swift calls it, was, according to Bowack, writing in the beginning of the
eighteenth century, the resort of persons of quality, especially the Earls of Warwick
and Nottingham. It seems to hâve been then a long straggling street of quaint houses
extending from Kensington Gardens to the Earl's Court Road and Holland House,
with the old Church (pulled down in 1869) to the north and Kensington Square to the
south. As this was the main road to the west of England a séries of famous old
Tavems and Posting Houses are to be found along the route from Hyde Park Corner to

50 Transactions of the Quatuor Coronati Lodge,
Hammersmitb. The chief coaching Tnn in Kensington High Street was "The Red
Lion " opposite the Palace, and just in front of the Tnn we rcad in Thackeray's
"Esraond " the proclamation of George I., as King, on the death of Qiieen Anne, took
place, and the hopes of the Stuart party were shattcred for ever. The road, however,
seems not to hâve had a good réputation as a highway. In the Hervey Memoirs there
is a letter frora Lord Hervey to his mother dated the 27th November, 1736. ** The
road between this place (Kensington) and London is grown so infamously bad, that we
live hère in the same solitude as we should do if cast on a rock in the middle of the
océan, and ail the Londoners tell us there is between them and us a great impassable
gulf of mnd." The worst part was probably near the old " Half Way Inn " now Princes
Gâte. This Inn was pulled down in 1846. "The King's Arms Tavem" on the south
side of the High Street was a good old House to which was attached at the beginning
of the last century an assembly room. Hère the Royal Alpha Lodge met in 1824. It
seems to hâve been a favonrite place for balls and other gatherings and is mentioned
several times in the writings of eighteenth century.
" The Greyhonnd " in Kensington Square was at one tîme a most aristocratie
house of entertainment and frequented by many of the wits of the town. There
Sheridan would break his journey to and from HoUand House. Pope stayed for some
time in 1735 in an Inn in Kensington Square, probably this one. There the Constitu-
tion Lodge No. 55 met in 1787.
I see several Lodges met at Anderson's Hôtel, Kensington, in the middle of the
last century, but I cannot find where this Hôtel was situated.
Further westwards, in Knightsbridge, close to the corner of Sloane Street, the
" Rose and Crown " ofFered entertainment to travellers westwards. Oliver Cromwell
seems to hâve had a great variety of résidences in and about London, and tradition says
this was one of them. At any rate it does appear that a party of his bodyguard were
quartered for some time hère. Corbould painted the Inn in 1849 under the title of the
" Old Hostelries of Knightsbridge." Two Lodges, now erased, met hère in the latter
part of the eighteenth century.
Going southwards towards the river again we pass through Chelsea, called in
the Domesday Book Chelched. The name seems probably to hâve been derived from
the Word " chesel," meaning pebbles or stones, which were cast up on the shore hère by
the tide. The name of Selsey Bill, near Chichester, has the same etymology. A map,
dated 1664, in Paulker's History of Chelsea, shows very few houses, and apparently no
Inn at ail. Still I think there must havo been one or more there, particularly by the
waterside. Indeed Pepy's in his diary, under date the 9th April, 1666, writes,
" Thinking to hâve made merry at Chelsey, but being almost corne to the house by
coach near the water side a house alone I think the " Swan " a gentleman passing by
called ont to us the house was shut up because of the sickness (Plague)." In 1759 a
Lodge which had been meeting there for many years lapsed. Later this old Inn
(Plate XII.) was noted as the winning post of the contest for the Doggett Coat and
Badge, and became a well-known sporting house. In 1780 " The Old Swan " was pulled
down and the Swan Brewery built upon the site, a new " Swan " being erected a little
nearer Cheyne Walk.
J. T. Smith, in his "Book for a rainy day," p. 280, relates a conversation with a
waterman, " Well there was the Old Swan at Chelsea, but that has long been turned
into a Brewhouse. That was where our people (the Watermen) rowed formerly, as
mentioned in Doggetts Will, now they row to the Sign of the New Swan beyond the
Physick Garden."

Some Otd Subiithan Taverns and Masonry. 51
Bowark, to whom I hâve before referred, writing in 1705, estimâtes the bouses at
tbat time as 300, being, according to bis account, nine times as many as tbey were in
1664.
No doubt tbe beginning of tbe eighteentb century saw a great change in Chelsea.
People began to find that it was a pleasant walk across the fields from Westminster to
Milbank. Two very famoas old housea of entertainmeut were established to satisfy the
needs of pedestrians, namely, " The old Chelsea Ban Houso " and " Don Saltero's Coffee
Honso,'* botb of which added to their attractions Muséums, and oddly assorted curiosities.
The latter CofEee House was the home of the St. Luke's Lodge No. 144, in 1786. " The
old King's Arms," near Chelsea Bridge, where the Lodge of Faith No. 144 met in 1808,
supplied, in conjunction with " The Swan," refreshment for those coming by water.
Later in the eighteentb century, namely in 1740, the Ranelagh Gardens and
Eotunda attracted many visitors. Thèse were opened first on the site of the house and
park of Lord Ranelagh, an Irish nobleman. Thèse Gardens were sncceeded by the
Cremorne Gardens, laid ont on what was known as Lord Cremorne's " Chelsea Farm."
The Taverns near by naturally benefited by the crowds visiting the entertainments, and
Masonic Lodges began to be constituted in some of them, such as " The Duke of York "
and " The old Cheshire Cheese."
The Inns of Chelsea had the réputation at any rate of being the resort of Jacobite
p.artizans during the first half of the eighteentb century. When Shrewsbury House
was pulled down, in a circular room was found a trap door leading down to a passage
underground, going to the river, and having a turning back to " The old Black Horse
Tavern." In " The Magpie and Stump Tavern " secret passages and hiding places
were discovered early in the last century. At "The Duke*s Head," at the corner of
Robinson Lane, now Flood Street, Lord Robartes (afterwards created Earl of Radnor)
entertained Charles II. at a famous supper, on 4th September, 1660, and Pepys visited
Lord Robartes (then Lord Privy Seal), at bis home close by, on the 19th April, 1665.
Passing a little f urther west w;e note the Cadogan Arms, erected about 1790, at
which the Phœnix Lodge No. 173 found a home in 1803.
The Mulberry Gardens occupied the position on which Buckingham Palace now
stands, and close by were two noted Masonic Taverns, " The Gun Tavern ** and Tea
Gardens (Plate XIII.) and " The Flask Tavern,'* iu Ebury Street, where the St. Lnke's
Lodge No. 144 met as early as 1765. " The old Gun " is described as having behind it
in the Gardens " most convenient arbours and costume figures." Thèse gardens were
removed to make way for improvements in Buckingham Gâte. At the corner of
St. George's Row and Buckingham Gâte once stood the " Monster Tavern," which
Larwood states was a corruption from *'Monastery Tavern."
Hyde Park Corner early in the eighteentb century boasted of a number of small
Taverns, amongst others " The Sun and Falcon," where the Grenadiers met as early as
1744, and at " The Running Horse," close by, in 1745. At " The Red Lion," Hyde
Park Corner, the Royal Mecklenburgh Lodge was constituted in 1770, and afterwards
removed to Croydon, where it lapsed in 1809. At this Inn Steele once took Savage to
dine. To pay the reckoning Steele dictated an article to Savage, who took it ont and
sold it for two guineas. Steele had retired to this Inn for the day to avoid bis nnmerous
creditors, a custom to which he had often to resort.
From Hyde Park Corner we may journey up Park Lane, which was really a lane
in the days we are writing of, and passing Tyburn we find ourselves approaching the
villages of Paddington and Marylebone. The map (cîrca, 1750) shown in Plate XIV.

meet in the seighbourhood. Thèse villages, at the beginning of the eightcenth centuiy,
were aboiit a mile from the nearest London streets. Bond Street was then in the conrse of
building, and this, I think, would be fonnd to be the nearest point. Dodsley, writing in
1761, bas nothing further to say of Paddington than that it was "a village of Middlesex,
situated on the north side of Hyde Park." George Barrett, R.A., about 1780, resided
hère, and it seems to hâve attracted artists by its pleasant rural scènes. Morland laid
the scène of bis popular picture of " The Wearied Sportsman " in an Inn at Paddington.
We are told that there were several Inns, however, in the middle of the 18th centnry,
some of which were, no doubt, of ancient origin, for "The Red Lion" of Paddington
is mentioned by Swift in the "Taie of a Tab." This old Inn dates from 1620, and
tradition asserts that Shakespeare himself acted in some of bis plays at this honse.
Tradition in this instance rests upon some solid basis, as this Inn and " The Wheat-
sheaf " close by were frequented in bis time by Ben Jonson and other dramatic authors
and actors. The last of thèse old Inns, " The Horse and Sacks," only disappeared in
1876 to make way for the Harrow Road improvements. The first trace of Masonry that
I can find in Paddington is at " The Pontefract Castle," where the United Lodge of
Prudence met in 1776, and soon af ter the Vacation Lodge moved hère from " The Star
and Garter " by Edgware Road. A Tavern of later date, known as " The Manor House
Tavern," stands on the grounds of the Paddington Manor House, and the Westbourne
Lodge was constituted hère in 1858.
Marylebone (St. Mary-on-tho-Brook) was formerly known as Tyburn, and still
retaiued much of its rural character in the cighfceeth century, as we read in the JDatly
Journal of 1728 that " many persons had arrived in London from their country bouses in
Marlebone," but was graduai ly growing, as in 1739 there were 677 bouses, and 35
" people who kept coaches." But it is a curions illustration of the condition of the roads
round London that in 1746 the proprietorof the Gardens engaged "aguard of soldiers"
to protect visitors to and from London, and as late as 1764 Mr. Low, the then lessee,
offered a reward of 10 guineas for the appréhension of " any highwayman found on the
road to the Gardens." The gardens were a great featui-e of Marylebone, as early as the
middle of the seventeenth century, aud we read in Pepys' Diary, May 7th, 1668, " When
we abroad to Marrowbone, and there walked in the Garden, the first time I ever was there,
and a pretty place it is." By the Gardens was the famous " Rose Tavern," supposed to
bave been the oldest house in Marylebone, dating from about 1600. In the map of the
Portland Estate, dated 1700, it is shown with the bowling green at the back. In the
London Gazette for 1691 appears the annoancement, "Long's Bowling Green at the Rose,
half a mile distant from London." Prize fights and duels were common in the neigh-
bourhood of " The Rose." Hère, on November I4th, 1712, the duel between the Duke
of Hamilton and Lord Mohun was arranged by their seconds, and not at " The Rose,"
Covent Garden, as Cunningham states. At " The Rose " the Old King's Arms Lodge
No. 28 met in 1728. This was their second meeting place. " The Cannon," Portland
Road, was at one time a fashionable resort, and there the Jubilee Lodge found a home
in 1781, and St. James' Union Lodge No. 180. At the " Half Moon," Cheptone Street,
St. Andrew's Lodge No. 231 held their meetings in 1777.
Passing to the East our journey brings us into Tottenham Manor which was in
1768 transferred by the Ci-own to Charles Fitzroy, first Lord Southampton. The small
Manor House stood at the north- west extremity of the présent road. This house ceased
to be a private résidence early in the seventeenth century and was transformed into a
public house known as " The Adam and Eve," with tea gardens adjoining. Hère in the
front of the Tea Gardens Hogarth bas laid his scène of the " March to Finchley." The

site of those Gardens is now occupied by Bden Street, Hampstead Road. The first
notice of this old Inn and Gardens is in the Parish Books of St. Giles in the Fields for
1643 : " Mrs. Stacye's maid and two others fined 1/5 for drinking at Tottenham Court
on the Sabbath daie.'*
Af ter " The Adam and Eve " the two most vénérable Inns in Tottenham Court
Boad are " The Red Lion," whieh appears as a Masonic meeting place in the first List
of 1723, and " The Talbot," where the Westminster and Keystone Lodge met in 1767.
Two Inns of less repute, "The Coachmakers' Arms" and "The Carpenters'
Arms," accommodated Masons at the latter end of the eighteenth century.
The original village of Clerkenwell grew up around the Priory and St. John of
Jérusalem, the site of which is now marked by St. John Street, and a portion still
remains in the old Gâte House, which, as Timbs says, happily exists still, through the
united exertions, in 1845, of "the Freemasons and the Church." The Gâte House
was occupied as a résidence by Cave, the Founder and Editor of the Oentleman^s
Magazine until his death, in 1753. In its rooms bave been entertained, from time to
time, Dr. Johnson and most of the eminent literati of that pçriod. It was afterwards
converted into a Tavern, and appears to bave been known both as the Jérusalem Tavern
and the St. John*s Gâte Coffee House. The Jérusalem Lodge No. 197 was founded hère
in 1771. There was on Clerkenwell Green another "Jérusalem Tavern," where the
Lodge of Fidelity No. 3 rested for a time. In the latter part of the eighteenth century
the antiquarian, John Britton, was apprenticed to his uncle, who was landlord of this
Tavern and also carried on the business of a wine merchant. That learned writer speaks
of thèse early days in his Autobiography, vol. L, p. 62 : — " Sadlers Wells, the Islington
Spa, Merlins Cave, Bagnigge Wells Tea Gardens and Ballroom were ail places of resort
in my apprentice days (drca 1785). On Clerkenwell Green I witnessed a man pilloried
and whipped, and in Red Lion Street another flogged at the cartes tail." The Red Lion
Street hère mentioned dérives its name from the old " Red Lion Inn," which had at one
time extensive gai*dens and stables, and where a Lodge was held as early as 1739. Hère,
too, was the " Red Bull Théâtre and Tavern, famous about themiddle of the seventeenth
century. Davenant, writing in 1663, says, " The Red Bull stands empty for fencers,
there are no Tenants in it but old spiders." Masonry flourished at différent times
in other old Inns, in or near St. Johu's Street, for instance the" Three Cups," mentioned
in Defoe's " Moll Flanders," " I placed myself at the door of the Three Cups in St.
John*s Street. There were several carriers used the Inn & the stage coaches for Bamet
and Totteridge and other towns that way stood always in the Street in the evening."
Somewhat to the south, and nearer to London, we hâve the village of Islington.
In the Domesday Book it is written Isendone, a compound of Saxon and British,
signifying " the hill of iron," doubtless from the springs of water rising in the vicinity
impregnated with that minerai. Fitzstephen speaks of this ncighourhood, in 1190, as a
small village north of the City, " with fields for pasture and open meadows, very
pleasant, into which the river waters do flow, and mills are turned about with a
delightful noise." Cowley, in his " Solitude," referring to monster London, says : —
" Let but the wicked men from out thee go,
And ail the fools that crowd thee so,
Even thou who dost thy million boast,
A village less than Islington will grow
A solitude almost."
But Cowley was not one of the most cheerf al of mankind.

Mosson, writing abont 1697, describes Islington as '* a large village half a leagne
from Londoa wliere you drink waters that do you neither good nor harm provided yoa
do not take too much of them." No doubt the same might still be said of the refreshment
afforded to visitors to the numerous aud interosting Taverns in the neighbonrhood.
Islington was in thèse old days as famous for its cheese-cakes and milk as Chelsea
was for its buns, and had, in its northern district, some eight Inns, mostly supported by
summer visitors.
First and foreraost amongst the old Taverns we hâve to glance at is the ** Old
Qneen's Hcad,*' in Lower Street {Plate X7.),a fine spécimen of architecture of the time
of Henry VII. Traditions fairly haunt this quaint remnant of antiquity. One is that
it was licensed to Sir Walter Raleigh, and that Queen Elizabeth visited him hère.
Another that it was the résidence of the Lord Treasurer, Burleigh. This latter con-
jecture seems to be the more likely, as the Cecil Arms were found on a pièce of oak
panelling taken from the house. The Lodge of Concord met hère in 1830. Nelson, in
his " History of Islington " (1823), fuUy describes the old Inn as it stood then, and the
elaborate oak carving, both of the exterior and interior. An engraving of the Inn is
also given in his Book, p. 349.
" The King's Head Tavern " (Plate XVL), in Upper Street, was of almost equal
repute with '* The Queen*s Head '' This Tavern, and some houses opposite the Church,
standing at the beginning of the last century, were no doubt as old as the reign of
James I. The head of Charles I., painted on métal, was placed in the Tavern window
as the sign of the Honse. There was formerly a street in front of this Inn, knowu as
King Street, and the tradition is that King James used to pass through this street, on
his way to Theobald's, and stop at this Inn (probably then called by some other narae)
for refreshment. At " The King*s Head ** there was a Masonic Lodge beld as eai-ly as
1766, and, later, in 1793, the Lodge of the Three Grand Prînciples met hère.
Several other most interesting Hostelries flourished in merry Islington, in the
eighteenth century, such as " The Crown," in Lower Street, and "The Pied Bull," near
the Green. We find also the Kent Lodge No. 15, meeting at " The Ship," Camden
Street, in 1838, aud the Lodge of Liberty at " The King of Prussia,'* in 1793.
Just north of Islington stood "The Canonbury Tavern or House." It would
appear to date from the beginning of the eighteenth century, and the first landlord was
a private soldier, one Lowe. Its palmy days, however, were from 1785 to 1808, when
it had for hostess a widow Sutton. She built on new rooms to the old house, and the
fare seems to bave been substantial and good. It stood at this time within the old park
walls of the Priory of St. Bartholomew. Hère Lodges met from time to time, and, as
far as we can trace, the last ** Country Feast " was held hère in 1798. It was rebuilt
early in the last century, and I see that the Canonbury Lodge had its first meeting hère
in 1856.
Travelling now to our f urthest limit north, we come to Highgate and Hampstead.
The etymology of the names of some of London's old suburbs is often difficult, and
the results sometimes arrived at are more than doubtful, but, with regard to Highgate,
the matter seems fairly simple. The name is, doubtless, taken from the High Gâte on
the hill, which, from time immémorial, was the Toll Gâte of the Bishops of London, on
the summit of the hill. This High Gâte was arched over by buildings extending from
the " Gâte House Tavern," which stood ncxt to the old burying gp^ound. An engraving
of this Gâte and Tavern, a.s it originally stood, is shewn on page 12 of Prickett*8
interesting "History of Highgate." The arch and buildings appear to hâve been
polled down about 1769, and the Tavern entirely rebuilt. The présent "Gatehouse

Tnn" saw the consécration of tbe Highgate Lodge, in 1871. Anotber Toll Gâte of tlie
Bishop of London was at the Spaniard*8, Hampstead, and was known as the Park Gâte.
The qnaint Highgate custoni of swearing " upon the horns " was practised at
" The Gatehonse Tavern," " The Red Lion," and other Highgate hostelries. It is said
to hâve originated by one, Joyce, the landlord of " The Goach and Horses Inn." It con-
sisted in taking a rather ridicnlous oath, holding the borna (usnally stag horns) in
either hand, and then distributing refreshment for the good of the honse. Tbis was
snpposed to constitute you a " freeraan " of Highgate. I fancy the cnstom mnst bave
arisen from the Bonifaces thinking that they might bave a toll of some sort as well as
the Bishop of London.
At " The Castle Tavern,'* in the High Street, a Lodge, No. 79, was constitnted
in 1731, a number of influential Masons being the founders. Some mystery surronnds
the fnture bistory of tbis Lodge. A Lodge No. 79 appears in the Dublin Pocket Com-
panion of 1735, as meeting at " The Hoop, Water Street, in Philadelphia." Bro. Lane
comments on tbis " That there is no évidence of the existence of such a Lodge on the
English R-egisters." The Bi-otber adds that tbis particular Lodge was in fact incor-
porated with one held at "The Swan," Hampstead (No. 4 of 17tb Jannary, 1721), in
1733, now the Lodge of Friendship No. 6. Possibly tbis particular Lodge, not unlike
several we corne across in thèse suburbs, combined with Masonry tbe pleasant and
healthfnl récréation of bowling, for which tbe fashionable world at that date had con-
ceived a grand passion. Certain it is that attaçhed to '* Tbe Castle Tavem " was a
famous Bowling Green. Tbis bas long disappeared, and " The Castle Coffee House "
marks the site, with some little remains, I believe, of the old Inn.
Tbe Manor of Hampstead was for a long period ecclesiastical property, ^nd long
remained in comparative seclusion. Later in the eighteenth century it passed for the
most part into the hands of the Maryon Wilson family, who also held and still hold tbe
Manor of Charlton, near Blackbeath. It was, however, towards tbe end of the seventeentb
century that it suddenly emerged from its obscurity and sprang into famé from its
waters and springs baving certain médicinal qualities. Not only could thèse waters be
drunk at tbis source, but I see an advertisement that the chalybeate waters of
Hampstead could be obtained at varions Inns in London, such as " The Sugar Loaf,'*
Charing Crosa, and " Nando's Coffee House," Covent Garden.
With the advent of the fashionable world to drink the waters, Tavems with their
long roonos for dances and dinners, and bowling greens and gardens for summer
récréations sprang up on the borders of the beath and in the village itself.
The first of thèse places of entcrtainment was " The Wells Tavern," and its long
room ou the hill-side, east of the village. At tbis Inn, apparently, several of the Grand
Lodge " Country Feasts " were held, as mentioned before, in my remarks on Putney.
In Bro. Gould's History, vol. ii., p. 338, be makes tbis note on the matter." ** Preston
says that in Lord Montagu*s year (1732) the Brethren met at Hampstead and instituted
country feasts. Tbis is slightly misleading. According to tbe Records (Grand Lodge
Minutes, April 13th, 1732) Viscount Montagu, Grand Master, being Master of tbe
Lodge at the Golden Spikes, Hampstead, desired such Brethren as pleased to dine with
him there, and, accordingly, the Dukes of Norfolk and Richmond, Lords Strathmore,
Carpenter and Teynham, and above a hundred brethren dined with the Grand Master
at Bro. Captain Talbot's, being " The Golden Spikes," Hampstead, at which time the

The popularity of " The Wells Tavern " seems to bave gradually diminished, and'
the long room was converted into a chapel. Its place was taken in a great measnre by
" The Flask Tavern," and its long room, sometimes known as ** The Upper Bowling Green
House." It stood on liigber gronnd on the edge of the heath. This Inn became the
snmmer resort of the Kit Kat Club, and is mentioned in many of the plays and in the
literature of that period. Richardson, for instance, makes Clarissa Harlowe escape for
a tinie from the too pressing attentions of Lovelace by retiring to " The Flask Tavern,"
at Hampstead. It was, in 1771, pnrchased by Steevens, the Editer of Shakespeare, as
a private résidence. St. John's Lodge No. 165 was first constituted at " The King's
Head," Hampstead, and afterwards met botb at " The Wells Tavern " and " The Flask."
" The Bull and Bush," between the Higb Street and the heath, was also a Masonic
meeting place. In 1797 the painter, George Romney, built a house next door, but he
only lived two years to enjoy bis rural retreat.
" Jack Straw*s Castle," where the St. John's Lodge met in 1826, still flourishes.
It was much beloved by Charles Dickens, and hère he would entertain his friends. In
the " Cabinet of Curiosities," Limbird, 1822, we find this référence : —
" With best of food — of béer and wines,
Hère may you pass a merry day ;
So shall my Host, while Phœbus shînes
Instead of straw make good his hay."
And now we must rest from our travels on the breezy heights of Hampstead, and
contemplate, as tradition says Whittington did from Highgate, the wonderful prospect
that stretches beneath us. On a fair moming we could even see the route we hâve
taken in our three successive journeys ; the City, the West End, and the river banks
fading in the distance towards Richmond and its wooded hill. Truly a marvellous
transformation bas passed over the scène since our ancient brethren journeyed merrily
to the Inns of the old suburban villages. Still, for those who seek diligently, can be
found many pleasant mementoes of the past.
I should, indeed, be amply rewarded for my researches into the history of the old
Masonic homes, in and around the Metropolis, if it should encourage provincial brethren
to gather together also some memories of the Inns and meeting places in their towns.
We should then bave a most interesting séries. Our late Bro. Whytehead informed me
that he was carrying out this idea with regard to York. But, alas ! he did not live to
accomplish the task. I sincerely trust some Brother will be found to complète the work
which he so earnestly desired to accomplish.
Bro. W. J. HuGHAN tontes :
Bro. Simpson, in his admirable Paper, seems to hâve overlooked the ** Country
Stewards' Lodge," which was an outcome of the " Country Feast " traced as far back as
24th June, 1732, then held at the " Spikes," Hampstead, Lord Viscount Montagae,
M.W.G.M., being the Président. The custom of thus assembling annually in the
Country, appears to bave been observed down to 1798, and a wairant was granted to
thèse Country stewards to hold a Lodge, which was so named, and to assemble at Free-
masons' Tavern, Great Queen Street, the document being dated 25th July, 1789, and
numbered 540 on the Régi s ter.
A spécial Jewel was worn by thèse Country stewards, pendant to a green collar,
a reproduction of which occurs in my article on the Lodge in the " Freemason Christmas

was a 8ore dîsappoîatmeat, especîallj as the Jewel and the grreen oollar had been allowed.
The handsome badge was exhibited at Shanhlin Masonic Exhibition, September, 1886,
and has for many jears been one of the treasnres of the Worcestershire Masonic Collec-
tion, originaUy made by Bro. George Taylor, when Prov. G. Sec. of that Province.
Merzdorf mentions one as being in the BoHock Collection, and Marvin, later on, was only
able to qaote from the German work on Masonic Medals. The Lodge fell through
abont ten years after issue of the Warrant but the number and the Warrant were
transferred to the Lodge of " Faith and Friendship," Berkeley, Gloucestershire.
Bro. Henry Sadler wrote some most interesting brief articles on the subject, and so did
Bro. E. L. Hawkins, M. A., in the "Freemason *' for 1886, and Bro. F. J. W. Crowe also
noted it in our " Ars," vol. xvii., p. 5.
Bro. SoNGHCTRST Tcfcrrod to several of the old Taverns in the North of London,
of which Bro. Simpson had made mention. In particnlar he asked for information about
Canonbury House or Tavern which stood between the Upper Street and what within
his recollection was still known as the Lower Road, its présent name being Ë-ssex Road.
Some fragments yet remain of the buildings erected by Prior Bolton, of St. Batholo-
mews, Clerkenwell, and in the garden of Canonbary Tower is a Mulberry Tree, said to
hâve been planted by him. The Tower was probably built in the sixteenth centnry and
is traditionally stated to hâve been occupied by Queen Elizabeth as a hnnting box, her
Ladies-in-Waiting being accommodated in some adjoining houses in which are ceilings
bearing her monogram. The Tavern was .situated close by, and is described as a small
ale-honse, its principal attractions being its fine gardens and bowling green. But the
** Venison Feasts " which our ancient Brethren enjoyed must hâve required a larger
room than could hâve been provided in the Tavern itself, and it seems possible that
some of the rooms in the Tower were used for the purpose.
A house bearing the sign of the " King's Head " still stands in the Upper Street,
immediately opposite the Parish Church of St. Mary, Islington, but it is quite a modem
building. Some old houses immediately to the North of the Tavern wero recently
demoHshed for the purpose of erecting a new Post Office. Many early Georgian houses
are still to be found in the neighbourhood, though for the most part they hâve been
successfully masked by modem shop fronts.
Comments on the paper were also made by Bros. Sadler, Horsley, Hawkins, and
the W.M., a hearty vote of thanks being unanimously passed to Bro. Simpson. The
thanks of the Lodge were also tendered to Bro. G. Vogeler, for his kindness in preparing
and exhibiting the Lantern slides, apd to Mr. J. Gardner, who had again allowed Bro.
Simpson to hâve access to his valuable collection of drawings and engravings.

NOTES ON FREEMASONRY IN CORK CITY.
^V BRO. THOMAS JOHNSON WESTROPP, RM. 143, Dublin,
j N the dayfl when Ancient Craft Masonry had spread amoDg ail the
otherwise opposed sections of the Irîsh nation, the Masons of the
citj and county of Cork were able to boast a nu mérous brotherhood
and Lodges of considérable antiquity. Cork itself, ail the more
flourishing for the stress of the wars with France, was (and,
even still, under less favouring circurastances, %s) strong in its support
of Freemasonry. In examining a collection of family papers in
possession of a relative, Mr. Dudley Westropp (whose works on the plate and art
collections in the Science and Art Muséum of Dublin are well known to ail
visitors to that institution), I was interested to notice several relies of a once
prominent Freemason. By kind permission of Mr. Westropp I venture to givo
copies (but little more than copies) of thèse documents, hoping that (owing to
their sidelights on Provincial Masonry over a century ago) they raay afFord
interest to a wider circle of the Brethren and fiU in some small gap when the
history of our Provincial Grand Lodges comes to be written.
Brother Doctor Thomas Westropp was the third and youngest son of Doctor
Ralph Westropp, of Dunscombe Marsh, Cork, the scion of a family (long settled
at Cornborough, Brompton and Stainsby, in Yorkshire) which had settled in
Ireland in the last few months of Richard Cromwell's brief nile, and spread
widely in the counties of Clare, Limerick and Cork. Thomas was born April
18th, 1759, and studied in the University of Edinburgh. He obtained his degree
as Doctor of Medicine in July, 1779 ; the diploma (Sept. 13th), with varions
quaint tickets for lectures during 1776 and the three following years are among
Mr. Westropp*s papers. He seems to hâve lived a leisurely life, so far as his
profession was concerned. This tradition is borne ont by the complimentary poera
given below : — " Though from the toil kind fortune keeps you free." He never
married, and died on October 31st, 1808, being probably buried under the shadow
of St. Finbarr's Cathedral, in the torab where the names of his father and eldest
brother can still be read, though with difficulty.
As for his Masonic career, I hâve not had time or opportunity to master
the material. The loss of the Grand Lodge Records down to about 1812 leaves
the most accessible archives an absolute blank. Ail the more on that account 1
hope the fragments hère copied may be of use. It were well for our Cork
brethren to try and compile a history of their ancient lodges and Provincial
Grand Lodge, and to ascertain the date and existence of the oldest minute books
thereto belonging.

Honor*d as yon préside on tbe masonic tlirone
An humble bard wonld make himself now kuown ;
That with distingnisbed lustre as yon shine,
Invokes yon hère to patron ise the nîne :
On those like you the poet must ever wait,
Respected, loy*d, whom merît bas made great.
When borne down his genins sinks depressed
To those like you whose goodness is confessed
In whom philanthropy is known to dwell
In life whose part is nobly acted well
To those like you he must his ills disclose
In whose tender breast soft compassion flows !
While the grand station which revered you bear
Your high qualifications must déclare
To characters greatly good like you
The Muse must give every tribnte due
By knowledge worth, well dignified to rise,
Profound the art that in your bosom lies :
By mystic ties cemented and by love.
Sure sucL must ever a kind patron prove.
Then while I feebly strive for to commend
I hâve no talents worthy such a friend ;
Impelled by the mère goodness of your name
To your kindness I boast no other claim ;
Than what I always may be sure to find
From the gênerons heart and feeling mind.
Well skilled in ail the art of soothing pain
As bright repute with honor you sustain
Esteem'd amongst our first rate faculty
Tho' from tbe toil ; kind fortune keeps you free ;
Rudely wild, quite artless as I strike the lyre
While nature lends one spark of grateful fire ;
For that kind friendly aid you may bestow
My gratitude shall never dormant grow."
Certainly this is a very roughly dressed block, however square the intentions
of the poet may hâve been. " Borne down his genius sinks depressed," as he very
truthfuUy remarks, let us hope that the cause was removed and the genius rose
rapidly to those heights of the Irish Castalia where, in the words of another Irish
ballad writer, ** the Nine " sit " drinkin* Parnicious strames in their Castalian
pride," and that the poet, by the " truly Masonic virtues " of the Cork Masons, was
removed from the ranks of "our poor and nécessitons brethren" for the rest of
his days.
Having shown a Provincial Grand Master as supporter of central government,
pacificator, adrainistrator, and patron of poetry and the drama, I leave thèse
unpretending notes to the " charitable coDstinction " and amendment of my brethren.

NOTES AND QUERIES.
ENRY YEUELE, freemason to Edward IIL, Richard IL, and
Honry IV. — In writing a book for Gerraan Masons on earlj English
Freemasonry I felt indaced to look at the passage in Stow's Survéy of
London, where he refers to Henry Yeuele as I hâve given it at the
head of this note. As ail those who hâve written on this désignation
appear to think that Stow took the name " freemason " from his own
fancy, I beg to propose another explanation of his words. In order to
obtain a firm basis, I give the passage as it is in Sfcow's éditions of 1598 and 1603
according to Henry Morley's and William T. Thoms' Reprints. The fall reading is as
folio ws : —
" On the east side of this Bridge Ward hâve ye the fair parish chnrch of
" St. Magnus ; in the which chnrch hâve been baried many men of good
" worship, whose monnments are now for the most part ntterly defaced.
" I find John BInnd, mayor 1307 ; Henry Yenele, freemason to Edward
** III., Richard II., and Henry IV., who deceased 1400 — his monument yet
" remaineth ; William Brampton ; Johnilbithell, mayor 1436 ; John
" French, baker, yeoman of the crown to Henry VIT., 1510; Robert
" Clarke, fishmonger, 1521 ; Richard Tnrke, one of the sheriffs, 1549 ;
" William Steede, alderman ; Richard Morgan, Knight, chief justice of the
" common pleas, 1556 ; Mauritius Griffeth, Bishop of Rochester, 1659 ;
" Robert Blanth, girdler, 1567 ; Robert Belgrave, girdler ; William
" Brame ; John Couper, fishmonger, alderman, who was put by his turn
** of raayoralty 1584 ; Sir William Garrard, haberdasher, mayor 1555, a
" grave, wise, and discreet citizen, equal with the best and inferior to
" noue of our time, deceased 1571 in the parish of St. Christopher, but
^* was buried in this chnrch of St. Magnus as in the parish where he was
** born — a fair monument is there raised on him ; Robert Harding, salter,
" one of the sherifFs, 1568 ; Simon Low, merchant tailor, esquire, &c,"
It is clear from this quotation, beginning with the words "Ifind," that Stow had
been in the chnrch himself and had gathered this séries of particulars from the monuments
'\\Qfound in the church. They were/o?* the most 'part utterly defaced, therefore, in some
cases, he does not give the year of death, because he could not make it out from the
defaced monnments. Only in two cases ne expressly points out that his monument yet
remaineth, and that a fair monument is there raised on him, The first of thèse is that of
Henry Yeuele, and, in my opinion, there cannot be any doubt, that Stow found on his
monument what he inserted in his séries of inscriptions about this mason, sculpter and
leading master mason. I think it quite impossible or, at least, most improbable,
that Stow could hâve added the désignation of freemason from his own fancy.
He says : I find, and then names in the second place Henry Yeuele, freemason, etc. ;
besides he adds his monument yet remaineth, in order to indicate that the inscription on

a date as tbe second half of the fourteenth centurj the term freemason was employed to

St. John the Apostle.—The Patron Saint of Freemasonry in Scotland.—
Surprisingly little is known of the -life of St. John. He was tbe son of Zebedee, and,
like bis brotber James (called the less), he was a fisherman. When he found bis tme
vocation he immediately left ail and followed Jésus. He was called the beloved
Apostle, and in faithfully serving bis Master he grew to be like Him. The traditions
connected with the name of St. John are many, but tbey are not reliable. Altboogh tbe
material for tbe life-bistory of St. John is scanty, it is fortunate that bis lovincr
character is amply portrayed in the contributions be bas made to Holy Writ. The
Apostle waa, in bis old âge, banisbed to the lonely Isle of Patmos, where he wrote tbe
Book which is called " The Révélation." He was afterwards re-called to Ephesus, then
tbe great centre of Cbristianity, where be died at an advanced âge.
St. John is tbe chosen Patron of Freemasonry, and especially in Scotland tbe Craft
bas been designated (to distinguish it from tbe " higher grades ") " St. Jobn's Masonry."
Nearly ail the old Lodges of Scotland took for a distinctive name that of St. John.
Tbe Lodge of Scoon and Pertb (before 1658) in the old records is frequently called tbe
Lodge of St. John. Dnnblane (before 1695) is named St. John, as are tbe Lodges at
Dunkeld, Auchterarder, Co. Angus, Blairgowrie, Muthill, Thornbill, and tbe dormant
Lodge of Dunning. Tbis is a fair record for Pertb sbire. Scoon and Pertb bas a beauti-
ful mural painting of St. John on tbe east wall of tbe Lodge. The Saint is always repre-
sented by tbe old Masters as holding in one band a scroll, and in the other a cbalice,
from which is seen issuing a dragon or serpent, wbile bis symbol, an eagle, is shown
standing at bis feet. Tbe cap in bis left band commémorâtes tbe tradition. of his having
been made to drink of a poisoned Cup, which, bowever, in bis case, proved innocuous.
In the Scoon and Pertb wall picture the eagle is not shown, but it is depicted on a
Medallion dating from 1807, attacbed to the Jewel worn by tbe Master, and also on the
old diplomas wbicb used to be issued by tbe Lodge. A curions différence occurs in the
Scoon and Pertb représentations in as much as three serpents instead of one are seen
issuing from the Cup. Wo are left to guess tbe meaning of tbe Pertb Artist in tbis
departure. Freemasonry could not bave a more appropriate patron than St. John,
tbe burden of wbose message was love. Çharity sbould be the distinguishing
characteristic of a Freemason's heart, not in tbe modem meaning of the word — the mère
giving of alms— but in tbe old one of love. D.C.S.
F.R.S and F.L.S.— On page 370 of A.Q.G., vol. xx., Brotber Brookbouse
seems to be at a loss concerning tbe words which in his article are abbreviated into the
lettei-s " F.R.S. and F.L.S. " ; I am not so sure about tbe ** F," but am very sure tbe
other letters stand for " Right Supporter " and ** Left Supporter," and the " F "
probably for " First." It is of no account whether the " Bucks " took tbeir nomencla-
ture from tbe Oddfellows or vice versa^ but both used the title " Noble Grand," or eke
bow explain tbe title given by Bro. Brookbouse " Past Noble Grand " ; the Oddfellows
certainly use that title, and also bave Right and Left Supporters among tbeir officiai
family.

ChronoIOgfy Of ScOttish Rite Masonry.— For some years past the writer
has beeu wont, in the course of desultory réadiugs, to make notes of chronological data

Naymas GreCUS» a CurioUS MaSOn.—" Curions," as applied to things, meana
properly, "wrought with care and art" (Latin, cunosus), hence applied to objects of
elaborate workmanship, as in Exodus xxvîii., 8, the '* curions girdle" of the ephod,
Exodus xxxY.., 22, "curions works." So 3 Henry VI. ii., 5, 53, " His body couched
in a curions bed" ; " Cymbeline," v., 5, 361, " In a most curions mantle."
But this is later Latin. In classical Latin it seems almost exclusively applied to
persons in the sensé of " careful " (from cura), " thoughtf ul, painstaking, diligent." So

Notes and Queries. 69
" Astley'S." — It is not so long ago that this disappeared from the Westminster
Bridge Road. It existed in 1880. Astley fîrst exhibited equestrian performances at
Halfpenny Hatch, where St. John's Church, Waterloo Road, now stands. In " Rejected
Addresses " we find —
" Base Buonaparte, fiUed with deadly ire,
" Sets, one by one, our pi ay hou ses on fire.
" Some years ago he ponnced with deadly glee on
" The Opéra House, then barnt down the Panthéon.
*' Nay ! Still unsated in a coat of fiâmes,
" Next at Millbank he crossed the river Thames.
" Thy Hatch, 0 ! Halfpenny, pass'd in a trice,
" Boiled some black pitch, and burnt down Astley's twice.*'
The fii-st Amphithéâtre, a mère temporary érection of deal boards, was set up in 1774
by Philip Astley, a light horseman in the 15th Régiment. It stood on an open pièce
of ground in St. George's Fields, to which a halfpenny hatch led. Astley himself, the
handsomest man in England, was the chief performer, assisted by a dram, two fîfes,
and a clown named Porter. At fîrst an open area, in 1780 it was converted into
a covered amphithéâtre and divided into pit, boxes and gallery. In 1786 it was
newly fitted up and called " The Royal Grove," and in 1792 " The Royal Saloon or
Astley's Amphithéâtre." Johnson, in the " Life," says : — ** Whitfield never drew as much
** attention as a mountebank does ; he did not draw attention by doing better than
" others, but by doing what was strange. Were Astley to preach a sermon standing
'*upon his head on a horse's back, he would coUect a multitude to hear him, but no
" wise man would say he had made a better sermon for that."
Horace Walpole wrote to Lord Strafford, 12th September, 1783 : — " London at
" this time of the year is as nauseous a drug a's any in an apothecary*s shop. I could
" find nothing at ail to do, so I went to Astley's, which, indeed, was much beyond my
'* expecfcation. I do not wonder any longer that Darius was chosen King by the
** instructions he gave to his horse ; nor that Caligula made his consul. Astley can
'* make his dance minuets and hornpipes. But I shall not hâve even Astley now ; Her
'* Majesty the Queen of France, who has as much taste as Caligula, has sent for the
" whole of the dramatis personas to Paris."
In 1794, August 17th, the Amphithéâtre was destroyed by fire In 1803,
September 2nd, it was again burnt down, the mother of Mrs. Astley, jun., perishing in
the fiâmes. In 1841, June 8th, it was a third time burnt down, the manager (Ducrow)
dying insane from his losses. Old Astley, who was born at Newcastle-under-Lyme in
1742, died in Paris, October 20th, 1814. He is said to hâve built 19 différent théâtres.

TWO EDITORS OF THE BOOK OF CONSTITUTIONS.
BV BRO. E. L. HAWKINS, M.A,
I.— JOHN ENTICK.
I HE name of the Rev. John Entick, M. A., is familîar to ail Ma^onic
students as that of the second Editor of the Book of Constitutions,
for the issue of 1756 is described on the title-page as " Carefullj
Revised, Continued and Enlarged, with raany Additions,
By JOHN ENTICK, m.a."
Doubtless manj who hâve read this title-page hâve wondered
who John Entick was, and what was his position in the world, so I
hâve been at some pains to bring together ail the information I conld gather about him,
and I will first describe his life apart from Masonry as it was known to the outer world.
A fairly fnll account of our Brother*s life is given in the Dictionary of National
Biography, of which I will give the chief détails, supplemented with such particulars
as I hâve obtained from other sources.
He is supposed to hâve been born about 1703, but neither the place nor the date
of his birth are certainly known, and no records are to be found of his parentage or
early years beyond his own statement that he was for t«n years at Collège. Apparently
he had to make his own way in the world, for he seems (also from his own statement)
to hâve begun teaching when about seventeen years old. In his later years he lived in
Stepney, where he died on May 22nd, 1773, being about 70 years old ; he was then a person
of sufficientnote in the world for his death tobe recorded in ** The Lady's Magazine " for
June, 1773. He was buried at Stepney on May 28th according to Lysons, who gives a
brief account of him in his " Environs of London *' (vol. 3, p. 457), calling him, however,
Entiwck. I hâve not been able to ascertain whether he was a native of Stepney, or, if
not, when he weut to live there, but Lysons (on page 437) mentions the tomb of
Elizabeth, wife of the Rev. John Entinck, 1760, as being in the churchyard of Stepney
Chuixîh, so he was presumably living there at that tirae, as he undoubtedly was in 1762.
In the registers of Stepney Church the name appears as Entick, so Lysons is responsible
for the error in spelling.
He seems to bave lived a most laborious life, incessantly employed in either
teaching or writing for the press, chiefly for a publisher named Dilly.
In 1728 his first publication appeared, of which I append the title-page taken
from a copy in the Bodleian Library at Oxford : —

(Priée Six Pence)
There is a préface addressed
" To ail
Gentlemen, Masters, Ushers, Tutors, <fec."
in which the aatlior saya, "It was my lot to be perplexed with a very du 11 Boy," and
explains that he compiled "this natural order of Grammar, and it had its desired effect,
instracting the Yoath in three Months space, with ail necessary raies of Agreement,
and Government, so that he coald write trae» Concord withoat Difficalty, to the
Admiration of his Friends, and my own Commendation."
The work consists of forty pages, and is a sort of English and Latin Grammar
eombined in the form of question and answer ; I examined the book with interest, bat
did not feel tempted to adopt his system with my own pupils.
At the end is the announcement : — " N.B. The Author of this Grammar has
ready for the Press, and designs to publish, if encoaraged, The évidence of Christianity,
abstracted from the Great Huetias, Easebias &c." and in 1729 this book appeared, the
aathor styling himself on its title-page " Stadent of Divinifcy." In 1736 he issued a
proposai, which fell through, to print " Ghaacer " in two vols, folio, with explanatory
notes; and there and thenceforth he put M. A. after his name, though there is no
évidence where he obtained his degree. In 1754 he published his "Phœdri Fabulœ"
with accents and notes. In 1755 he agreed with Shebbeare and Jonathan Scott to
Write for their anti-ministerial paper, " The Monitor or British Freeholder," appearing
every Saturday (priée 2d.), at a salary of £200 a year ; and his attacks on the Govern-
ment in the year 1762, in Nos. 357, 358, 3ô0, 373, 376, 378 and 380, caused his house to
be entered and his papers seized undér a gênerai warrant. He claimed damages for
this, and a very full account of his suit is given in T. B. HowelFs State Trials (vol. xix.,
pp. 1030-1074), from which I hâve extracted the foUowing : —
** The Case of Seizare of Papers, being an action of Trespass by John Entick,
Clerk, against Nathan Carrington and three other Messengers in ordinary to the King,
Court of Common-Pleas, Mich : Term : 6 George lïl., a.d. 1765."
The plaintifE declared that on November llth, 1762, the défendants, with force
and arms, broke and entered his dwelling house in the parish of St. Dunstan, Stepney,
and continued there four hours without his consent, broke open his doors, boxes, etc.,
pried into ail his private papers, and carried away 100 printed charts, 100 printed
pamphlets, etc., etc., and he claimed £2000 damages.
The défendants pleaded that they were justified in their action by a warrant from
the Secretary of State.
The cause was tried at Westminster-Hall before the Lord Chief Justice, when
the jury found a Spécial Verdict, giving the plaintifE £300 damages, if the Conrt should

hold that the défendants were guilty of trespass. This Spécial Verdict was twice
solemnlj argned at the bar, and finally Lord Camdeu, Lord Chief Justice, delivered the
judgment of the Court for the plaintifE, on the gronnd that a *' warrant to seize and
carry away the party's papers in the case of a seditious libel is illégal and void."
And thus Entick was successf al in bis suit, though he only got a small part of
the damages which he claimed.
Previously to this occurrence, while engaged on " The Monitor," he published, in
1757, a handsome folio volume of 887 pages with 6 Illustrations, entitled, " A new
Naval History : or Compleat View of the British Marine. In which the Royal Navy
and the Merchant's Service are traced through ail their Periods and Différent Branches :
with the Lives of the Admirais and Navîgators, who bave honour d this Nation, and
Distinguish'd Themselves by their Conduct, Courage, Victories and Discoveries.
Includiug the most considérable Naval Expéditions, and Sea-Fights : our Higlit to the
Dominion of the Sea, and the Dignity of the British Flag : the Laws and Régulations
for the Government and Oeconomy of His Majesty\s Navy : and^ the Business and
Management of the several Royal Y'ards and Docks in this Kingdom. To which are
added Our Right and Title to the British Colonies in North- America: and an Abstract
of the Laws now in Force for regulating our Trade and Commerce. lUustrated with
Copper Plates. By John Entick, M. A. London 1757."
On January 7th, 1760, he married a widow nanied Eliza (as given in the
register, not Elizabeth as given by Lysons) Fisher, who died in September of the
same year, and, as previously stated, was buried at Stepney; in 1763 he published
a "General History of the Late War" (with a second édition eorrected in 1765),
which reached a third édition in 1775, two years affcer the death of its author;
In 1764, he issued his "" Spelling Dictionary," each édition of which comprised 20,000
copies ; and in 1766 he brought out " A New and Accurate History and Survey of
London," which contains his portrait, and on the title-page of which he is described as
the **Rev. John Entick, M. A." I hâve been unable to ascertain how and when he
became " Révérend," or whether he held any bénéfice, but as the sermons attributed to
him by Kloss {Bibliographie der Friemaurerei, Nos. 815, 816 and 820) bear dates fi-om
1750 to 1762, it seems probable that the clérical part of his career occupied the eighteeu
years between 1736 and 1754, which are otherwise unaccounted for. In 1771 he
published a " Latin-English Dictionary," as to which J. Nichols, in his " Illustrations of
the Literary History of the 18th Century," quotes from a letter written by Mr.
Joseph Cockfield, nnder date March 9th, 1771, " Mr. Entick is another enterprising
genius in the employ of Mess" Dilly ; his new Latin Dictionary is said to contain ail the
words necessary for reading classic authors ! Gredat Judœus Apella.** However, in spite
of Mr. Cockfield's sneer, our Brothers dictionaries continued in réputé, and were
frequently re-edited by varions persons down to 1836. The Latin-English Dictionary
contains " An Address to the Teachers of the Latin Tongue," signed " John Entick,"
and dated " Stepney, Dec. 1. 1770." From it I extract the following: — "In a course of
iifty years, Gentlemen ! the compiler of this work has been constantly employed either
as a private tutor, a schoolmaster, or a writer for, and a corrector of, the press. In
thèse employments, and prepared by a regular Academical Education for ten years at
Collège, he has had great opportunities to reason both upon the manner of Education,
and upon the means, or books used in the Schools of this Kingdom." It seems odd that
in this summary of his life he makes no mention of any employment as a clergyman :
he is described on the title-page as " John Entick, M.A., Editor of Schrevelius's Greek
LexicoU) Littleton and Cole's Latin Dictionaries, and Author of the New Spelling

Dictionary, etc." ; in the same book is an ad verti sèment of the New Spelling Dictionary
by the "Révérend John Entick, M. A.*' Also in 1771, appeared bis " English
Grammar/* and be is likewise credited with a " Ready Reckoner/* and with a share in
both the new " Week*s Préparation " and tlie new " Whole Duty of Man." On bis death
in 1773, be left a large work in four volâmes, " The Présent State of the British
Empire,'* nearly completed, in which be bad been belped by other banda, and wbich
was bronght ont in 1774; and in 1776 a new édition of bis " Snrvey and History of
London " was issued. From the foregoing enumeration of bis works it will be seen
that our Brother was a most assidaous compiler of books during the last twenty years
of bis life.
We may now turn to the Rev. John Entick, M.A., as a Freemason. Of bis
Maaonic career very little can now be ascertained ; there is notbing in Grand Lodge
records to show when or in what Lodge he was initiated, and be is first mentioned by
name in the account of the proceedings of Grand Lodge on June 27tb, 1754, when at a
meeting beld at the Devil Tavern : —
**A mémorial presented by Brother Jonathan Scott to the last Gommittee of
Gharityy being referred to this Quarterly Communication^ showing the necessity of a
new Edition of the BooK of Constitutions, with necessary Corrections and Additions, and
proposing that the same might be benceforward printed by the Suhscriptions of such
Lodges as it suited, and the Profits tbereof applied to the use of the General Charity;
and that a Committee might be appointed to revïew the said Book of Constitutions,
formerly prepared for the Press by the Rev. Brother Anderson, and to make the necessary
Altérations and Additions, it was Resolved, That the said Book of Constitutions sbould be
revised, and the necessary Altérations and Additions made consistent with the Laws and
Rnles of Masonry, And
That the Right Worsbipful Grand Master, the other présent Grand Officers;
George Payne, Esq. ; the Earl of Loudoun, Duke of Chandos, Lord Ward and Lord
Cakysfort, late Grand Masters ; Sir Robert Lawley, Bart., Edward Hody, M.D., late
Deputy Grand Masters ; Thomas Smith, Esq., late Junior Grand Warden ; together with
the Rev. John Entick, M. A., Arthur Beardmore and Edward Bowm/in, Gent., be the said
Gommittee. And that the Grand Monter or Deputy Grand Monter, with any three others of
the said Gommittee, bave power to proceed to Business, and to call in to their Assistance
any other Brethren, tbey might from time to time think proper." (Constitutions Ed.
17Ô6, p. 262.)
Of the three private Members of this Committee Arthur Beardmore bad been a
Steward at the préviens Assembly and Feast on Marcb 25th, and be was appointed Junior
Grand Warden on November 29th, 1754, and subsequently became Senior Grand Warden,
so be was a Brother of some note at that time ; but there is notbing to account for the
inclusion of Brothers Entick and Bowman on the Committee. However, we find the
Rev. John Entick among the Stewards for the Feast on April lOtb, 1755, and be was
appointed Junior Grand Warden on February 14th, 1758, in the room of Brother
Vandevelde, deceased.
Obviously the lion*s share in preparing the 1756 Constitutions was performed by
Entick, for bis name alone appears on the title page, and it is stated in the Sanction
that " this new book bas been publiahed with great Care and Fidelity from the Records of
Masonry, by our Brother the Rev John Entick, M. A."
After bis appointment as Junior Grand Warden, Bro. Entick attended the meet-
ings of Grand Lodge on May 24th, 1759, January 24th, May 24tb and June 5tb, 17G0,
and is last mentioned as présent on May 3rd, 1762.

80 Transactions of the Quatuor Coronati Lodge.
The next issue of the Book of Coustitutions (1767) also has his name on thetitle-
page as successor to Di*. Anderson, and is often attributed to him, but as it is called ** A
New Edition, with Altérations and Additions, by a Comnjittee appointed by the Gi^and
Lodge,** it would not seem that he had any hand in its compilation, and, indeed, his
Masonic position at the time of its préparation, as I shall describe, renders it extremely
improbable, that he was one of the Committe appointed to bring ont the Edition of 1767,
the names of which Committee Brother Sadler informs me are not recorded in the
minutes of Grand Lodge.
For information as to the concluding épisode of Entick's Masonic career I am
indebted to Bro. Sadler, who, with his nsual willingness to assist, has supplied me with
ex tracts from the records of Grand Lodge, from which it appears that at one
time Entick was Treasurer of the Lodge at the Sun, Upper Shadwell (No. 227, con-
stituted 3lst October, 1757, and erased April lOth, 1782), and on October 29th, 1765,
the Members of the Lodge presented to Grand Lodge a mémorial against their Treasurer
" for not settling his Account and paying the Balance to the Fund of the Lodge," and it
w^as ordered that the parties be summoned to the next Charity Committee, a body which
at that time corresponded to the présent Board of General Purposes. Accordingly
on January 22nd, 1766, at the Committee of Charity, " The complaint preferr*d against
Bro. John Entick . . . was candidly heard, and a lettèr from Bro' Entick in Justifi-
cation of himself read, and the afFair taken into due considération ; (and it was)
Resolv'd, unanimously, that a Letterbe wrote by the Grand Secretary to Bro' Entick to
inform him, that he is directed thereby to require him to appoint a Day and Time within
a fortnight from the date of the said Letter, to meet the Committee appointed by the
Sun Lodge to settle and adjust the Treasurer's (accounts), and then and there to settle
and adjust the same accordingly, or infailure thereof, That his name will be eras'd from
among the Grand Officers, and he will ever after be deemed unworthy to enter the Grand
or any other regular Lodge." He does not seem to hâve complied with this resolution,
and his name does not appear as a Grand Warden for 1757, in the Table of Grand
Officers given in the 1784 Constitutions, though whether this is due to its eras^re from
among the Grand Officers, or to the fact that he only held office as Junior Grand
Warden for part of a year, seems to me a doubtful point.
I can discover no other détails of our Brother's Masonic career, so I will conclude
my account of him with a quotation from Dr. Oliver's " Révélations of a Square."
(p. 98) :-
" At this perïod our Rev. Bro. Entick engaged in the laudable design of counter-
acting the repeated attempts that had been made to throw Masonry into confusion, and
contributed several valuable additions to Masonic literature. He was, in his turn, the
Master of our Lodge^, and P glittered on his breast for three consécutive years. His
habits were grave and sober ; but he was a good Master, and a fair disciplinarian, popular
amongst the Craft, an expositor of Masonry in m any printod works^, and at the same
* This is the imaginary Lodge to which, according to Oliver's romance, ail the noted Masons of
the eighteenth century belonged.
' The Square is speaking.
' Dr. Oliver mentions four, viz., " The Free and Acoepted Aiason described, in a Sermon preached
by J. Entick, A. M." " A Caution to Frfte and Accepted Masons, a Sermon preached at St. Mildred, in the
Ponltry, Cet. 26, 17.52, by J. Entick, A. M," London, Scott, 1752. I find thèse foor works only, besides
the Constitutions, attributed to Entick by Kloss, so it seems probable that Dr. Oliver copied the titles
from Kloss. The third of them is printed at length in Cole's Constitutions of 1751, which also contains

time he preserved hia status in the Grand Lodge, whicb is more than Capt. Spiith^,
Preston^, Whitney', and some other popular Brethren, were fortunate enoagh to accom-
plish at a subséquent period. He published two* several éditions of the Book of
Constitutions, and preached many sermons on Freemasonry, which ought to hâve been
preserved, as they did honour both to his head and bis heart. I must confess T had
agréât respect for Bro. Entick. He was an active man and a dear lover of Masonry,
and I was exceeding sorry when fate, in the shape of a vote of the Lodge, threw me
into other hands."
In conclusion, I think that, like the Square of Dr. Oliver's imagination, we must
ail feel a respect for Bro. John Entick as a hardworking man of letters throughout his
whole life, and we must ail be sorry that he tarnished his otherwise honourable career
by his mîsconduct (whatever it was) as Treasurer of the Sun Lodge.
IL— JOHN NOORTHOUCK.
The next Editor of the Book of Constitutions, whose name has been handed down,
is John Noorthouck, who edited the 1784 édition, which is in many respects the best of
the eighteenth century éditions. Entick's name is omitted from the title-page of this
issue, which is described as " A New Edition revised, enlarged and brought down to the
year 1784, under the direction of the Hall Committee, by John Noorthouck,'* and
contains a préface, signed " J. N.," explaining the improvements and altérations that
hâve been introduced.
As with Entick, I will first give some account of the non-Masonic career of the
subject of my sketch, which account is raainly drawn from the Dictionary of National
Biography.
John Noorthouck was born in London about the year 1746, being the son of a
bookseller of some note, Herman Noorthouck, who had a shop named the Cicero's Head,
Great Piazza, Covent Garden, which, however, he seems to hâve given up some years
before his son's birth. During his early years, John Noorthouck was patronized by
William Strahan, the printer, of whose character he afterwards wrote a poetical sketch,
which has been preserved by Nichols (Literary Anecdotes, iii. 395). Onr Brother, like
his predecessor Entick, may be described as a hard-working literary hack, gaining his
livelihood as an index maker, and corrector of the press ; he was a liveryman of the
* Capt. J. G. Smith, Prov.G.Master for Kent, pnblished " The Use and Abase of Freemasonry " in
1783, and 1785 he was expelled from the Society for having forged a certificate of Grand Lodge, recom-
mending two dîstressed Brethren ; he had previonslj got into troable for holding a Lodge in the King^s
Bench Prison. (Gould ii. 479, 480.)
' William Preston, author of the ** Illnstratîons of Masonry," became embroiled in a dispute wîth
Grand Lodge as to the rights of the Lodge of Antiquity, and was expelled from the Society in 1779, bat
restored to its privilèges in 1789. (Gould ii. 424-428.)
' By the kindness of Bro. Sadier, Sub-Librarian of Grand Lodge, I am able to qnote from
Grand Lodge Beports the story of Thomas Whitney. He was a P.M. of the Boyal York Lodge
at Bath, which was erased by order of the Grand Lodge, in conséquence of internai discord, on
Becember Ist, 1824 ; he was accused of *^ various irregularities and breaches of the gênerai laws
of the Craf t, and particularly for illegally initiating into Masonry in the said Lodge two indiTÎduals
without dispensation and withont the regulated considération," and on December 22nd, 1824, he
was Buspended from ail Masonic functions and' privilèges for twelve months; other charges were
brought against him. but they were not prooeeded with, and on Jane Ist 1825, it was resolved
unanimously " That Bro. Thomas Whitney was censured by this Grand Lodge for a breach of Masonic
discipline, and that there is no imputation whatsoever npon his conduct in référence to his interférence
in the fijiancial concerns of the late Boyal York Lodge." Subsequently on September 5th, 1827,
Whitney attended Grand Lodge for the purpose of being reinsiated ; " be was introduced by the Deacons,
and the M.W. Grand Master addressed him at considérable length, remarking upon the serions and evil
tendency of a violation of those laws which had been made by the common consent and for the gênerai
good of the Craft, especially as the Master of a Lodge initiating Masons without préviens notice." His
Masonic clothing was then restored to Bro. Whitney, '* who was now permitted to résume his seat in
the Grand Lodge as a Past Master."
^ l hâve shown above that he probably had nothîng to do with the 1767 édition.

An obituary notice of him appeared in tbe Gentleman' s Magazine for Angust, 1816; and

£1 Ils. 6d. I can find in it no référence to Entick's London, thougb several previous
writers are mentioned. Soon after be published "An Historical and Classical

and Queries " (Ist Séries, xii. 204), tbere is mention of an Autogi'apb MS. life of John
Noorthouck, " author of the History of the man after God's own heart,'^ which MS. was
ofFered for sale, in 1852, in a bookseller's catalogue issued by John Russell Smith in
London, and was tberein described as ah unprinted autobiography containing many
curions literary anecdotes of tbe eigbteenth century. But Peter Annet (1693-1769) is
more generally considered to bave been the author of " A History of the Man after
Grod's own Heart," and the work is attributed to bim in the British Muséum Catalogue ;
and I bave been unable to trace tbe subséquent fate of the MS.
Turning now to Noortbouck's Masonic career, tbe earliest fact about it that I
bave been able to discover is that hejoined the Lodge of Antiquity in 1771, but Bro.
Sadler informs me that be bas been unable to trace our Brotber's former Lodge : be
was Treasurer^ of tbe Lodge wben some of its members, on December 27 tb, 1777, after
bearing a sermon from their Chaplain, tbe Rector of Bow, walked back from St.
Dunstan's Churcb, in Fleet Street, to the Mitre Tavern, in their Masonic clothing.
Noorthouck objected to their baving done so, wbile Preston defended the proceeding ;
tbe dispute grew warm, and was referred to the " Committee of Cbarity," which upheld
Noortbouck's view of the irregularity of the performance, and called upon Preston to
withdraw his contention that the Lodge of Antiquity possessed spécial privilèges of its
own in virtue of its original constitution, and, on his refusai to do so, expelled him from
the Society (January 30th, 1778). However, on February 4th, Preston presented a
mémorial to Grand Lodge at its Quarterly Communication, ezpressing regret and
promising never again to claim any spécial privilège for Lodge No. }, and so bis
expulsion was rescinded. Then tbe majority of the Lodge of Antiquity, headed by
Preston, expelled Noorthouck and two otbers from tbe Lodge : again tbe Committee of

three Brethren to their membership of No. 1 ; to this order the majority of the Lodge
refused obédience, seized the books and furniture of fche Lodge, and, in spite of the
opposition of the minority, formed themselves into ** The Grand Lodge of Englandsouth
of the river Trent," which continued in existence nntil 1789, when Preston and his
partj made snbmission, and were restored to their privilèges in the Society, from which
they had been expelled on Pebruary 3rd, 1 779.^ It is noteworthy that no allusion to
this dispute occnrs in Noorthouck's Constitutions, so far as I can discover.
In 1782, the Grand Secretary reported to Grand Lodge that the Books of
Constitutions were ail sold, and it was resolved that the reprinting of the book be left
to the management of the Hall Committee, which had been first appointed in 1773, and
constantly re- appointed up to this time ; presumably Bro. John Noorthouck was a
member of it, and being a man of some literary ability, the task of editing the new Book
of Constitutions, which appeared in 1784, was entrusted to him. He performed his
task with considérable skill, reducing the " tumid expressions ** of his predecessors
** nearer to the unafPected stile of simple narration," to quote his préface, and adding a
full index " without which no publication beyond the size of a pamphlet can be deemed
compleat."
This appears to hâve been a standing remark of our Brother's, for in the Préface
to his *' History of London " he says " no literary performance beyond the size of a
pamphlet can be deemed compleat, in the usual sensé of the word, without a good index ;
yet the labour of making and digesting it is a duty that f ew authors will submit to
themselves.'*
I regret that I can f urnish no further particulars about Noorthouck's Masonic
career ; I cannot find his name among the Grand Officers for any year ; and Dr. Oliver
sums him up in a brief sentence as " a clever and intelligent man, and an expert Mason "
(^Révélations of a Square, p. 249), though he considers his conduct during the dispute
between Preston and the Grand Lodge as open to censure. It may be observed hère
that Noorthouck and Preston were both employed by Strahan — the former to correct,
the latter to print for him ; and it is possible that some dispute apart from Masonry
may hâve been at the bdttom of their trumpery quarrel over the Church parade.
I hâve seen it suggested (Freemason, 25 th Septemher, 1869) that the real cause
of their quarrel was Preston's jealousy of Noortbouck on account of the employment of
the latter to edit the new édition of the Constitutions, but as the quarrel broke ont in
1777, and tho new édition was not required until 1782, there cannot be much probability
in this suggestion ; though very likely, since he compiledthe Appendix of 1776, Preston
would bave also prepaaed the 1784 édition if he had not fallen ont with the authorities.
Our worthy Brotber was something of a poet as well as a compiler of books, for,
besides his poetical sketch of Strahan's character previously mentioned, Jones* " Masonic
Miscellanies " (1797) contains three poetical effusions by Bro. Noorthouck, from the first
of which (p. 45) I should like to quot^ : —
" When Bucks^ and Albions are forgot,
Free-masons will remain ;
Mushrooms, each day, spring up and rot,
While oaks stretch o'er the plain."
* I am indebted to Bro. Gould'e " History of Freemasonry,** ii., 424-428, for my accouût of thèse
ocoarrences.

The second (p. 90) was sung in the Provincial Grand Lodge at Margate, in Kent, on
June 12th, 1786, and is in honour of Colonel Jacob Sawbridge, Prov.G.Master of Kent,
1785-94 ; the last two Unes may serve as a spécimen of it : —
" Fill, fill yonr glasses ; let Sawbridge be the toast,
Long may we his protection boast ! "
The third (p. 137) is an ode " performed at every Meeting of the Grand Chapter of
Harodim," an order started in London by Preston in 1787, apparently a glorified Lodge
of Instruction masquerading as an old Order revived ; so the two brethren seem to hâve
made up their dispute, and probably Noorthouck had joined Preston's new Order. This
ode is given in Prèston's Illustrations, and need not be quoted,
Snch are ail the particulars I hâve been able to collect of thèse two Editors of
the Book of Constitutions, but I hope they may be deemed worthy of a place in the
Ars Qicatuor Coronatorum.
Bro, W. J. Chetwode Crawley writes: —
Bro. Hawkins's article is an excellent contribution, and the détails supplied by
Bro. Sadler are really valuable.
Curiously enough the first school Latin Dictionary I ever used was Entick's
Tyronis Thésaurus, and a very good working vocabulary I found it, though ludicrously
behind the modem standard of philology. Still, I hâve ever since had a sneaking regard
for the author, who certainly knew what the schoolboy of hîs day wanted. I fancy the
use of his Dictionary survived in Irish Classical Schools a full quarter of a century
after it had been superseded in his own country.
Bro. W. B. Hextall said : —
Bro. Hawkins' interesting paper is capable of but small addition. Entick was a
warm partizan of the notorious John Wilkes, and gave an account of the latter's
proceedings with the City of London in his Hisiori) and Survey of London, which was an
enlargement of an earlier work by Maitland. Allusion is made to '* the révérend Brother
Entick," at page 14 of The Complète Freemason, or Multa Paucis for Lovers of Secrets
(1763). A notice of the death of "Rev; Mr. John Entick, aged 60, at Stepney,"
appeared in the Qentleinans Magazine for 1773, aud the volume for 1774, page 229, in
" Catalogue of New Publications," gives " The Présent State of the Pritish Empire
. . . . By the late Rev : John Entinck, M. A.," so that Lysons was not alone in so
spelling the snrname. A\\\honQ'& Dictionary of English Literature, I., 560, says "John
Entick or Entinck." I believe a like latitude formerly applied to the spelling of the
better known family name "Bentinck," which is so similar as to suggest a common
origio. The Freemason^s Magazine, 1859 (page 1026) erroneously gives the year of
Entick's death as 1780.
Bro. W. J. Hughan has pointed out that although the Sanction to Entick*s
Constitutions, 1756, contains a warning *'to ail Brethren against being employed or
concemed in writing and spreading, printing and publishing, any other books relating
to Masons or Masonry, and against using any other Book in any Lodge as a Lodge-
Book, as they shall be answerable to Grand Lodge," yet the printer and publisher, Bro.
J. Scott, also printed and sold " The Pocket Companion, and History of Free Masons :

Constitutions, Customs, Charges, Orders and Régulations, for the Instruction and

boldlj advertised the same at back of pao^e 339 of Entick's volume. (Whymper's
Reprint of Articles on the Constitutions^ 1889). Both Mackenzie's (1877) and Woodford's
(1878) Cyclopœdias attribute the 1767 Constitutions to Entick, as does A,Q,C.y xiii., 181 ;
but Bro. Hughan agrées with Bro. Hawkins that Entick does not appear to hâve had
aught to do with that revision (ihid.)
The obituary notice of John Noorthouck, in the Gentleman's Magazine, 1816, says
he was for nearly fifty years a liveryman of the Company of Stationers, and such long
service seems to justify inqniry about him in that quarter.
In the Freemason^s Magazine^ 1859 (page 116), a correspondent stated that
Noorthouck ** was a native of Oundie," and suggested inquîry by members of the Lodge
of Merit, then No. 687, which was warranted at Stamford Baron in 1840, held at Oundle
from 1856 to 1865, and then moved back to Stamford Baron. Lane*s Masonic Records
gives no other Masonic history to Oundle, and no further référence to Noorthouck
appeared in the Magazine, though the letter mcntioned was again printed in the volume
for 1861.
Woodford's Cyclopœdia, page 517, mentions an unpublished autobiography of
Noorthouck, probably the same as that catalogued by John Russell Smith, in 1852.
None such is in the British Muséum.
Noorthouck's Constitutions, 1784, contained a leaf, paged 67, 68 (page 67 headed
" In Italy,") which was cancelled in most of the copies, and for it were substituted
pages 67, 68, [67] [68] usually fonnd ; the new page 67 headed " Gothic Architecture."
The cancelled leaf is consequently rare.
The proceedings against Thomas Whitney, which occasioned loss of its warrant
to the Royal York Lodge, Bath, in 1824, are recorded at length in the Minute Book of
the Royal Sussex Lodge, now No. 53. (Craft Masonry in Bath,hj Bro. R. E. M. Peach,
1894)
Commenta were also offered by Bros. T. Conu, Canon J. W. Horslet and the
W.M. and a hearty vote of thanks was passed to Bro. Hawkins for his paper.

NOTES ON THE HERÀLDRY AT THE CASTLE OF
BUDRUH.
BY BRO. ANDREW OLIVER.
T is possible that a reason for tlie appearance of the various shields of
arms at the Castle of Badrom, described by our W.Bro. Markham
in A.Q.C.y vol. xvii., p. 74, maj be found in a document at the Britisb
Maseum, kuown as Cottonian Charter iv. 31.
This is a letter granted to William Fitzhugh and Margery his
wife, for contributing to the re-building of the Castle of Budrum,
dated U14.
There can be no doubt but that this document was given to a member of the
Fitzhugh Family, whose name appears upon the document in question, together with
that of his wife, for the reason that they contributed towards the re-building of
the Castle.
It was a common custom to place upon the walls and other parts of buildings,
the armoriai bearings of persons who contributed towards their érection or rebuilding,
and from this we may infer that the Kiug of England and many of the nobles gave
assistance in this mauner and for this reason their arms are displayed on the Castle
walla.
The letter granted to William Fitz Hngh is in Latin and bas attached to it the
seal of the Hospital of St. John, Clerkenwell.
It is as folio ws : —

NOTES ON THE SOCIETY OF GREGORIANS.
BY BRO, W. H, RYLANDS, P,A,G.D,C.
HE above title fuUy expresses the contents of tbis paper. It is nothing
more than a séries of notes ojathered from varions sources, largely by
the assistance of several friends, among whom I must mention
Bro. Hamon le Strange, Bro. William Watson and Bro. W. H. Jones,
of Norwîch.
My hope, in bringing this paper before the Lodge, is that others
will add to the information, by sending to the Secretary, for publication,
any n©tes they may now possess, or obtain ; and thus coUect together ail that is kuown
about the Gregorians.
There are several références to the Society in the old volumes of 'Notes and
Quertesy and of thèse I hâve taken fuU advantage.
Notiiing appears to be known of the carly history of the Society. They were
called the Merry Gregs, according to the heading of tbeir Constitution al Song, *' Let
Poets and Historians, Record the brave Gregorians,** etc. If it were certain that the
saying, as merry as a Grigg, took its origin from the Gregorians, or that Trimmer the
Farmer referred to in Tom D*Urfey's Wit mid Mirth or Pills to purge melancholy
(1719, p. 9), was a member of the Society, a very respectable antiqnity might be
claimed for them. Unfortunately, however, there are several other explanations of the
Word Grigg, which may be more readily accepted.
The foUowing is the text of this semi-political song : —

Then tell us wlio pleases best.

And since Fortune favours the biisk and the bold,

So that you the Church Bully may rave and rant,
And you raay cant,
Till both are Impeacht in Parliament ;
'Tis Union and Peace that the Nation does want,
So l'm for the Moderate Man.
It bas been stated that the Society of Gregorians existed in London in the year
1730 : aud it might be added that they survived longer than most of the imitators of
Freeniasonry. It will be well to arrange a few of the notes in chronological order.
In the Daily Journal, May 8th, 1736, occurs the foUowing: — ** On Monday last
was constitutod at the FJower de Luce, in St. Alban's, a new chapter of the ancient
and honourable order of Gregorians, at which were présent the Grand, Vice-Grands,
with their proper Officers, together with a large number of the Bi'ethren. At their
entrance into the town they were received with the greatest acclamations of joy that
could be expressed by the populacô. The bells rang, and continued ringing till the
Grand left the town."
The icontributor of this to Notes and Queries (3rd séries, ii., 1862, p. 447) asks : —
What was this "Order"? and how was it, that the solemnity described was looked
upon as an occasion of public rejoicing by the people of St. Alban's ?
Another contributor to the same journal (2nd séries vii., 1859, p. 157) ealls
attention to " The Gregorian Constitution Song," in a collection of single-sheet Music,
bearing the erased name of a former owner, with the date 1745, quotes the first verse
beginning, " Let Poets and Historians," and states that it is set to two voices, and
there is a transposition for the fiate at the foot. The Kditor adds the following note :
'* The single sheet referred to by our correspondent is a copy of a song contained
in the following work: — The Musical Ccntury, in one litmdred English Ballads, the Words

about tlie year 1720." The following is the full title of the book, from the earliest
édition ia the British Muséum. No doubt it is simply a re-issue of the first édition : —

The GiiEciORiANS* Constitution Song.
(Music). (For two voices).
Let Poets and Historians,
Record the brave Gregorians,
In long and lasting lays ;
While hearts and voices joining
In gladsome songs combining,
Sing forth their deathless praise.
2
If innocent variety.
Content and sweet society,
Can make us mortals blest ;
In social love united,
With harmony delighted,
We emulate the best.
3.
Onr friendship and affiuity,
Surpasses consangninity.
As Gold surpasses Ore ;
Success to ev*ry Brother,
Let's stand by one another
Till time shall be no more.
The Cheap Side Chapter of Gregorians was constituted in the year 1736. (See
undor " Medals.")
In the Musical Entertainer^ published by George Bickham, the engraver of the
plates, about the year 1742, the Constitutional Song is headed *' The Merr}' Gregs," and
is headed by a nnmber of singing people after Hogarth.
The Daily Advertiser of the 18th of February, 1742, contains the follo'wing: —
" The Brethren of the Pope's Head Chapter of the An^tient and Honourable Order
of Gregorians are desir'd to meet at the Fountain Tavern on Lndgate Hill, this Evening
at Six o'Clock, to proceed from thence to visit the Globe Chapter in Fleet Street."
They are mentioned in the often quoted lines in Pope's Dunciad (Book IV., lines
572, etc.), which was first printed in 1728. The fourth book first appearcd in the
édition of 1742.
Next, bidding ail di-aw near on bended knees,
The Queen confers her Titles and Degrees.

Some, deep Freemasons, join the silent race,
Wortliy to fill Pjthagoras's place ;
Some Botanists, or Florists at the least,
Or issue Meiubers of an annual feast,
Nor pass*d the xneanest nnregarded, one
Rose a Gregorian, one a Gormogon.
The last, Dot Içast, in hononr or applause,
Isis and Cam made Doctors of her Laws.
A note in some éditions ex plains Gregorian and Gormogon as a sort of lay
brothers, slips from the root of the Free Masons.
Another note by the Editer of Pope's Works, 1882 (verse 676), may be quoted,
if only for the purpose of stating that it is entirely misleading.
** Throughout the eighteenth century there was a mania both in England and on
the Continent for joining secret societies, some of which were formed merely for
convivial, but others for political purposes. The Gregorians formed a Society which
seems to hâve had its headqnarters at Norwich. They appear to hâve taken part in
politics, proceeding to the hustings in regular order, and full costume. Tbey were also
distinguished for their deep potations of port.. (See Notes and Queries, 2nd séries,
vol. vi., p. 273). It is not improbable that they may hâve voted on the Whig side, as
the Royal Family were Masons, so that Pope may hâve had a political motive for his
satire. I think that there may be also a second meaniug for the word ** Gregorian,''
which is the cant name for a hangman, the term being derived from Gregory Brandon,
whom Grose (Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue) calls '* a noted finisher of the law,"
and who was granted a ooat of arms throngh a mistake of Sir William Seagar, a
former Garter King-at-Arms. In this case Pope would hâve intended to ridicule the
Heralds' Collège. The Gormogons were another secret society, which ezisted in
England from 1725 to 1738, being dissolved in the same year that the fîrst Papal Bail
was isBued against the Freemasons. They derived their mysteries from China. There
is a very rare print of Hogarth's called " The Mystery of Freemasonry, bixjught to
light by the Gormogons," representing in a ridiculous light the initiation of a novice
into the rites of the order. Henry Carey also ridiculed them in some verses called, ' A
Moderator between the Freemasons and the Gomorgons.' "
In the engraved List of Chapters acting under the Grand Chapter in London,
in the Gardner Collection, and brought to light by Bro. J. Percy Simpson (Traus.^ vol.
xix., 1906, p. 19), Pope*s Head and Globe Chapters are both ^ntered. I think it must
be dated before the year 1750, and it is, perhaps, worth noting that it contains a Chapter
at St. Alban's, probably the one mentioned above ; one at Peckham, Surrey, and another
at Crewkerne, in Somersetshire.
A sermon by Farmerie Maltus^, preached before the Gregorians, was published
in quarto in London in 1752.
Mackey, in his Encyclopaedia of Freemasonry, gives the following : —
" Gregorians— An association established early in the 18th century in ridicule
of and in opposition to the Freemasons. There was some feud between the two Orders,
but the Gregorians at last succumbed and long ago became extinct. They lasted,
however, at least until the end of the century, for there is extant a sermon preached
before them in 1797. They must, too, by that time hâve changed their character, for
^ The Rev. Former Maltus, son of William Maltas, of ScottoD, co. Lincoln, was of Lincoln
Collège, Oxford. He matriculated Ist Februarj, 1723-24, aged 18. Was lectnrer of fiermondsey,
Sarrey, and died the 26th March, 1782.

and salutary effects ! "
SmoUet, in bis Travels throiigh France and Italy, printed in 1766, furnisbes tbe
next référence. Vol. ii., pp. 53-4, Letter xxvii., dated frora INice, January 28th, 1765 : —
" Amidst ail tbe scenery of tbe Roman Catbolic religion, I bave never yet seen
any of tbe spectators affected at beart, or discover tbe leaat sign of fanaticism. Tbe
very disciplinants, wbo sconrge tbemselves in tbe Holy Week, are generally
peasants or parties bired for tbe purpose. Those of tbe confrairies, wbo bave an
ambition to distingaisb tbemselves on sacb occasions, take care to secure tbeir backs
from tbe smart by means of secret armonr, eitber women's boddice or quilted jackets.
Tbe confrairies are fraternities of devotees, wbo inlist tbemselves under tb© banners of
particalar saints. On days of procession tbey appear in a body dressed as pénitents
and masked, and distingaisbed by crosses on tbeir habits. Tbere is scarce an
individaal, wbetber noble or plebeian, wbo does not belong to ono of thèse associations,
wbicb may be compared to tbe Free-Masons, Gregorians, and Antigallicans of England."
Tbe late Mr. William Pinkerton, writing to Note^ and Querïes (4tb séries, v.,
1870, p. 127), quotes a dinner invitation card tben in bis possession.
" Tbe Committee appointed by a cbapter of tbe ancient and bonourable society of
Gregorians request tbe bonour of yoar company to celebrate the festival of the Glorious
Révolution in 1688, at tbe Swan Inn, on Wednesday tbe 5tb day of November, 1787.
Dinner at three o'clock. Tickets sevexi and sixpence eacb. Wine included."
Tbis may possibly explain tbe peculiar festivities at St. Alban's mentioned above
in tbe year 1736, and suggest that tbe Gregorians were a semi-political Protestant
Society.
Another référence to the Society is fonnd in " Tbe Borougb : A Poem in Twenty-
four Letters, by tbe Rev. G. Crabbe, LL.B. . . . London : . . . 1810."

Or were at first sonie harmless Club who made
Tlieir idle meetings solemn by Parade ;
Is but conjecture — for the task unfit,
Awe-struck and mute, the puzzling thème I quît ;
Yet, if 8uch Blessin^ from their Order flow,
We should be glad their moral code to know ;
Trowels of Silver are but simple things,
And Aprons worthless as their apron-strings ;
But if, indeed, you hâve the skill to teach
A social spirit, now beyond our reach ;
If Man*s warm Passions you can guide and bind.
And plant the Virtues in the way ward mind ;
If you can wake to Christian love the Heart —
In mercy, something of your Powers impart.
But as it seems we Masons mnst become
To know the Secret, and must then be dumb ;
And as we venture for uncertain Gains,
Perhaps the Profit is not worth the Pains.
When Bruce, that dauntless traveller, thought lie stood
On Niîe's first Rise ! the Fountain of the Flood,
And drank exulting in the sacred spring,
The Critics told him it was no such thing ;
That springs unnumber'd round the country ran.
But none could show him when the first began.
So might we feel should we our time bestow
To gain thèse secrets and thèse signs to know ;
Might question still if ail the Truth we found,
And firmly stood upon the certain Ground ;
We might our Title to the mystery dread.
And fear we drank not at the River-head.
Qriggs and Oregorians hère their Meetings hold.
Convivial Sects, and Bucks alert and bold ;
A kind of Masons, but without their sign ;
The bonds of Union — Pleasure, Song, and Wine.
Man, a gregarious créature, loves to fly
Where he the Trackings of the Herd can spy ;
Still to be one with many he desires,
Although it leads him through the Thorns and Briers.
A few ! but few there are, who in the mind
Perpétuai source of consolation find ;
The weaker many to the world will come.
For comforts seldom to be found from home. <fec.
In Notes and Qneries (2nd séries, vi., 206), 1858, it is pointed out that a Public
House in James Street, Bermondsey, is called the " Gregorian Arms," and Bro. Basil
Matveieff has kindly inforraed me that it still exists at the corqer of Jamaica and
St, James* Roads.

Notes on the Society of Greqortans. 97
Bro. W. B. Hextall reminds me tliat in The Freemasons Magazine^ 1859, the
followiDg occurs on p. 107 : —
" A new warrant, No. 1,067, granted for a Lodge to be held in an ancient tavern
in Bermondsey, whîch was originally occnpied by the ancient and extinct fraternity of
the Gregorians, and is atill naraed the * Gregorian Arms.' "^
• Some time before 1761 a Chapter was founded in the City of Norwich.
In Notes and Qnertes (2nd séries, vj., 1858, p. 273) is the following: — "The
Gregorians h ad numerous lodges or Chapters. One exercised great influence at Norwich,
it bespoke plays, and the members attended with ail their décorations ; at contested
élections for the city they proceeded to the hustings in regular order, and in fuU
costume. The large room at the principal inn is decorated with their arms. Towards
the close of their existence, for they are supposed to be def unct, they were mémorable
for their deep potations of Port wine. Sir Jacob Astley of the day had his portrait
painted, wearing the insignia. The engraving is dedicated to him as * Grand ' of the
Gregorians."
The portrait hère referred to by the la te Mr. Edward Hawkins is that of Sir
Edward Astley, which bears the following inscription : — " Sir Edward Astley, Bart.,
Représentative in Parliament for the County of Norfolk, and Granâ of the Most Ancient
and Honourable Order of Gregorians in Norwich, 1771. Taken from the original
portrait in possession of the Society. B. West, Pinxt, R. Erlom, Sculp*.**
Bro. le Strange tells me that at the break-up of the Society the original paint-
ing by Sir Benjamin West was presented to the great-grandfather of the présent Lord
Hastings, and is now preserved at his Norfolk seat, Melton Constable.
I must hère express my grateful thanks to Bro. le Strange for ail the trouble he
has taken to search through books and newspapers , as also to Bro. W. H. Jones, the
editor of the Norfolk Ckronicle, for a number of transcripts ; to them I owe the whole of
the following notes, with référence to the Norwich Chapter.
Bro. Jones points ont a curions distinction in the newspaper accounts. " Where-
as," he says, " the proceedings of the Gregorians were reported with some amplitude,
the proceedings of the Freemasons were eut very short, when noticed at ail, and when
the opening of a new Lodge took place in 1797, the Editor thanks a correspondent for
a lengthy report of the proceedings, but states that it is not usual to give publicity to
more than the most meagre outline of matters relating to Freemasonry." (!)
In the Norwich Gazette (afterwards the Norfolk Ghronicle)^ July 18th, 1761
(No. 1) the following advertisement appears : —
" The Brethren of the most Antient and Honourable Order of Gregorians are
desired to meet on Thursday the 30'^ of July at Sandling's Ferry, by ten o'clock in the

In the General History of the County of Norfolk published by John Stacy
at Norwich in 1829, is the following: — ^^ Posimick — Four miles, Ail Saints, p. 254.
This town is situate ou the banks of the Yare. Hère is a pleasant and shady grove,
where in the month of July the society of the Gregorians held their aunual venison
dinner ; they usually assembled at Sandlin's ferry, and went down the river in barges
and wherries, with music, and colours flying. This was contînued till 1764, when oue
of the farmers at Postwick, thinking himself or his lands injured, wantonly put an
end to the custom : after which time the venison feast was held at the Chapter-room
j at the White Swan, St. Peter's, but the Society was finally dissolved in 1806."

healths of his Majestj, the Dake of York and the Army, Lord Bridport

enthnsiasm. The Prince not only entered into the spirit of the Chapter,
which was most numerously attended, but contributed greatly to render
it " the feast of reason and the ilow of soûl." He expressed great satis-
faction in becoming a brother, regretted ezceedingly that his engagements
woald 80 soon oblige hini to leave a city he should ever révère, for its
loyalty to its King, its attachment to the Constitution, and its
distinguished hospitality ; the marked attentions he h ad experienced in
this city, neither time or circumstance could ever efface. He then gave
the Archduke Charles of Austria, of whom, from personal acquaintance,
he spoke in terms of the highest praise. * But while we are thus toasting
foreign Gênerais, let us not be nnmindful,' said the Prince, 'of our own
gallant Admirais.* He then gave Sir John Jervis, who, he was happy to
inform his brethren, was at that time blocking np the Spanish fleet in
Cadiz ; this toast, the health of Admirai Nelson, the Norfolk hero, and
several other local ones, were drunk with infinité glee. Almost every
toast was accompanied with an appropriate song, which added much to
the conviviality of the day."

brave Admirai, and several other gentlemen were admitted into the

the proudest in the annals of the Society, was marked with its leading
features, loyalty, sentiment, and conviviality, which the présence and
vivacity of their illustrions Grand carried to an acmé, which those who
were présent will never cease to remember. His R.H. more than once

Bro. le Strange tells me that Prince Frederick Duleep Singh, who is now
writing a book on the portraits existing in Norfolk Country Houses, has found a
portrait of William Frederick, second Duke of Gloucester (by Mary, Lady Waldegrave)
born in 1776, in which he is represented wearing somo regalia very like those in

this MS. I hâve taken the following notes : —
The title at this date was The Most Ancient and Honorable Order of Gregorians ;
and the System was called Gregorism.
The Fandamental and Constitutional Laws of the Order express the objects to be
the establishment and permanent continuauce of Unitj in Society, and Christian
Charity, and.a Gregrorian must be a man of honoar, sound morals and trne loyalty.
The Officers were The Grand of the Order, who was the Grand of the oldest
Chapter known and existing : but he had no greater authority in his own Chapter,

The Chapter Committee was to consist of not less than five officers and was
composed of the Prelate, the Grand Secretary, the Pro Grands, Deputy Grands, and
the other officers of each Chapter for the time being. The senior Pro- Grand alwajs
presided.
The daty of the Committee was to form Bye-Laws with regard to proposing,
ballotting for and initiating new Members, the rules of the ballot, the snm to be paid
to the Chapter Fond on each Initiation, the «proportions in which the Fund was to be
disposed of for the purposes of Initiation, Fines and Penalties, Pass Acconnts, arrange
for the hours of meeting, and other matters for the " local benefit " of the Chapter, and
most condncive to the ends of the Institution.
On the moming of the Anniversary the Committee was to nominate and ballot
for (but not appoint) The Grand, Wardens, and Committee Men, to serve the Chapter
for the ensuing year.
OFFICERS.
The Grand was to préside at ail Chapters : he was the Treasnrer of the
Chapter, and acconntable for the Fands.
Xo Brother was eligible to be appointed Grand who had not served the office of
Committee Man, and the offices of Senior and Junior Warden.
The Grand was ballotted for and elected in the Committee and if approved by
the Chapter was installed into his office (after the business of the Chapter on the
Anniversary) by his Predecessor investing him with the Medal and resigning the Chair
to him.
He appointed his own Deputy Grand ând Secretary.
The Deputy Grand assisted the Grand, and supplied his place in his absence.
The Post of the Deputy Grand was at the lower end of the Table both in Committee and
Chapters.
The Prelate was nominated and ballotted for in a Committee and appointed by
the Chapter for life, but he might resîgn at pleasure. His duty was to exhort the
Brethren on every anniversary to voluntary libéral contributions to the Fund of the
Chapter. His Post was on the Left Hand of the Chair both in Committees and
Chapters.
The Grand Secretary was nominated and ballotted for in a Committee, and
appointed by the Chapter : he hcld office for life, with the power of resigning at
pleasure. His duty was to superintend the Secretary in the exécution of his office, and
to assist and advise the Grand and his officers. His Post was on the Right Hand of the
chair in ail Committees and Chapters, and at the lower end of the Table in the absence
of the Grand in Committees, or his Deputy in Chapters.
The Secretary kept ail the accounts of the chapter, entered the Resolutions and
Orders of the Committee and read them to the succeeding chapter : kept* a list of the
members, sent ont the notices of ail meetings : and had custody of the regalia and books.
His Post was on the Right Hand of the Grand Secretary.
The Pro Grands. The Senior Pro Grand présent presided in chapters in the
absence of the Grand and his Deputy.
The Senior and Junior Wardens. None were eligible to the office of Warden
who had not been of the seven Committee Men. Their exclusive duty was to secure
the Committee and Chapter Rooms against intrusion, for which purposes the Sergeant
of Arms was their Deputy. They invested the Secretary, Wardens and Committee
Men with their proper Medals on the Anniversary.

The Post of the Senior Wardeu was on the ^^^^^ of the chair at the centre of
the table.
The Post of the Junior Warden was opposite.
The Seven Oommittee Men. There were two Senior and five Junior Committee
Men. They superintended the ballot, the duty falling on the juniors présent.
The Sergeant-at-Arms was initiated without the payment of fées. His duty
was to guard the passes of the Chapter Room that no strangers approached save such as
were prepared formally to enter as candidates for Gregorism, and to be otherwise
aasisting as the convenience of Committees or Chapters might require.
THE FUNDS.
There were fées for Initiation. At the Anniversary on which the Grand
passed ont of office he was to ** collect from the Bretbren individually their voluntary
g^fts towards the support and increase of the Fund."
Every Brother on his marriage paid one guinea.
There were also fines and penalties.
The Fund of the Chapter could not be appropriated to other purposes than
such as were charitable; save for the purchase of medals, books and necessaries
for the use of the Chapter.
The Fund was not to be reduced below the sum of Twenty Ponnds, without
the spécial order of the Committee consisting at least of nine Members, and also of a
Chapter of at least fifteen Members. No part of the Fund could be disposed of
without the consent of a Committee and Chapter.
There were strict régulations about the grants of money to charitable uses.
Thèse Constitutional Laws, as they are called, are followed in the . MS. by the
" Bye-Laws calculated for the Régulation of the Wakefîeld Chapter of Ancient and
Honourable Gregorians."
From thèse more light is thrown on the usual customs of the order, if it may be
concluded that the actions of the Wakefîeld Chapter were fairly in accordance with
those of other Chapters.
A candidate was nominated and seconded at one Chapter and ballotted for at
the Chapter immediately following, and in case of a favourable ballot he was bronght
forward for initiation as soon as convenient, but any candidate not residing in the town,
might be nominated, seconded, ballotted for and initiated at the same Chapter.
It was necessary that ten Members shoald be présent at a ballot, and the following
scale was arranged : —
Two négatives when the Chapter consisted of ten Members,
Three „ „ „ „ morethan ten and less than twenty,
Four „ „ „ „ twenty and less than thirty,
and so upwards in the same proportion, excluded the candidate.
Each Brother was to pay to the Fund one guinea at his Initiation, and two
shillings and sixpence to the Sergeant-at-Arms.
If a successful candidate neglected to come forward for Initiation his proposer
was fined ten shillings and sixpence. This was returned if the candidate offered himself
for Initiation at the next subséquent Chapter.
Part of the Funds might be expended in purchasing Medals for such Brethren as
passed the chair with the thanks of the Anniversary Chapter in which the office
expired. Each Medal was not to be of greater coat than one guinea.

A.lso in parnhasîug such othcr Medals as the Chapter might think proper to
bestow in grateful acknowledgement for extraordinary services, so that the expense
did not exceed two guineas.
The Sergeanl-at-Arms was paid fîve shillings for his attendance at the Anniversary
Meeting, two shillings and sixpence at Qaarterly Meetings, and one shilling and six-
pence at the Ëvening Meetings.
The officers, from the Grand downwarda, were to be fined for non-attendance
withont satisfactory excases in writing, or if they withdrew before the business of the
Committee was over without leave of absence.
The form of Initiation on the introduction of a new Member was to be repeated
by rote by the officers officiating. In default each officer was fined 28. 6d.
The Pro-Grands had their particnlar Medals in their own keeping, from which I
suppose they were in a position equal to that of Past Master.
Officers were fined if they did not wear their proper Medals in Committees and
Chapters.
Stringent laws were made about the attendance of Members.
Ail fines were collected by the Secretary and placed to the crédit of the Fund by
the Grand.
MEETINGS.
The Anniversary was always to be held on the Tharsday next foUowing St. John
Baptists' Day (24^** Jane), unless that Festival fell on Thursday, in which case the
Anniversary was to be held on that day.
Notice of the Anniversary was to be thrice inserted in the Leeds IntelUç^encer
préviens to the day.
Other Chapters were to be held as appointed by the Committee. "The
Committee on the day of Anniversary shall assemble at ten in the morning and open the
Chapter, Divine Service to commence before twelve o*clock. The Chapter shall close
at 7 p. m., when the Bill shall be called and the Brethren shall withdraw."
There were to be four meetings in the year when the Brethren were to assemble
in the morning. ** On qaarterly meetings the Committee shall assemble at one o'clock
(unless particnlar business demand an earlier attendance). The Chapter shall open
as soon as convenient, be closed at geven, and the Brethren (be) requested to withdraw."
In addition to the Quarterly Meetings there were tobe as many Evening Chapters
as were thought necessary. Ten days notice to be gîven by the Secretary of the
Qaarterly Meetings, and seven days of the Evening Meetings and Spécial Committees.
"On Evening Meetitigs the Chapter shall assemble at seven and be closed at eleven,
when the Brethren shall wîthdraw." AH formai business was to be transacted before
dinner at the Anniversary and Quarterly Meetings, and before supper at the Evening
Meetings.
The only liquors allowed in the Chapter Room were Red Port, Sherry, Brandy,
Rum and Geneva ; if any Member called for a more expensive liqaor he was to pay for it
in addition to his quota of the bill.
The Junior Committee Man, or in his absence the junior officer présent took
account of the liquors brought into the Chapter Room.
It was suggestedtbat the ordinary on Anniversary and Quarterly Meetings s h ould
not e^ceçd 2s. 6d. Also that as many bottlçs of wine as therç were members présent

should be iutroduced, and that tliis qaantity should be diminislied in proportiou as
the expeuse of beverage might otherwise be incroased by the int-roductiou of spirits or
other liquora.
At the Evening Meetings the ordinary was not to exceed Is. 6d., and no more
than half the qaantity of liquor (as above) was allowed.
The third stroke of the Grand's (or his representative's) hammer on the table
was at ail tiraes to hâve the authority of calling to attention and order.
No Political question might be debated, nor any subject whatever agitated dnring
Committee and Chapter hours, which might be thought likely to produce unseemly
warmth of argument, or occasion disseutions amongst the Brethren.
It was also suggested that the old constitutional song (" Let Poets and
Historians, Ac") should regularly be called for by the Grand (or his Deputy in his
absence) on each Anniversary and Quarterly Meeting immediately after hononring the
aeventh & last Constitutional Toast (t.e. The Prosperity of Gregorism ail over the
World.)
The remaining songs might folio w at the discrétion of the Chair, and none but
Gregorian songs were to be sung in Chapter.
The first, sixth and seventh (i.e. 1, The King^ 6. Gregorians and their bamSy ^c.)
were at ail times to be superlatively honoured. In ail instances the Wine rising to
the centre of the Initiais W.C. was deemed high honour. It is probable that the
letters W.C. (Wakefield Chapter) were engraved on the glasses.
The Constitutional, and Bye Laws were to be read in f ull chapter at loast on every
Anniversary, by the Grand, his Deputy, or the Grand Secretary.
The suggestions are marked R.M. (Richard Munkhouse) the writer of the book.
INITIA.TION OF CANDIDATES.
So far as can be judged, to become a Gregorian, or to be Initiated into Gregorism,
consisted of one degree only : and of that ceremony as it was written down in or about
the year 1798, by the Rev. Richard Munkhouse, D.D., some idea is presented in the MS.
now in the Lodge Library.
Every person desirous of becoming a Gregorian must at least be gênerai ly esteemed
a man of honour, sound morals and tme Loyal ty. He had to be elected by a fair
ballot, according to the discrétion of each Chapter, both as to the time of proposing the
new Brother, the time of his being ballotted for, the nuniber requisite to elect or
exclude, and the time of his Initiation.
The candidate having been accepted on the ballot, and being présent, the Serjeant-
at-Arms, whose duty it was to guard the passes to the Chapter Room, and was, there-
fore, outside the door, allowed " such as are prepared formally to enter as Candidates
for Gregorism."
" The Candidate shall at the time appointed for his Initiation, be introduced
" by the Brother officiatingin the Office of Junior Warden, who shall attend
" with the sword of his office, & being come to the door of the Chapter
" Room, shall announce to the Officers and Brethren the désire of the
" Stranger to enter the Order, by three loud &> délibéra te raps at the door.
** Upon this the Grand, Officers, <fe Brethren in the Chapter Room shall
" instantly rise, et the Grand shall express the consent of the Society to
" admit the Stranger- to the privilèges of the Order by three loud &
" deliberate raps on the Table. The door sh[a]ll then be opened, & the

*' StraDger admitfced, foUowing the Brother officiating as Jnn^ Warden,
" who sliall attend on the left, whilst the brother officiating as Sen'
" Warden shall stand on the Right Hand; when the Grand shall demand
** of such Stranger — whether it be of his own free will & accord that he
" présents himself a Candidate for Gregorism. This question being
" answered in the affirmative, the Jan^ Warden shall put into the Right
'* Hand of the Stranger the Sword, & request him to repeat the following
" words after the Sen'. Warden.
" I. A. B. &c.
[I may mention that perhaps it is a little suggestive to find on the engraved
Hummons of the Wakefield Chapter the sword only there a représentative sjmbol rest-
ing on the closed Bible.]
*' Then the Brother îîlect [it must be noticed that after the ob. he became
*' a Brother], in token of snbmission shall deliver the sword of the Order
*• to the Grand, who shall direct him to attend to the admonition of the
" Grand Secretary, if présent, or to the Brother officiating as Deputy
" Secretary, who shall address him in the following terms —
" Sir ; You hâve &c.
" After this, the Grand shall require him to be particularly attentive
'* to the Instruction of the Prelate ; or in his absence, of the Brother
" officiating as Deputy Grand, who shall say ;
. " Sir ; To distinguish &c.
'* The Sigu Manual being given by the Grand, he shall give in charge to
" the New Brother, that — in ail cases (for fear of discoverj) he sh^. chuse
" rather to receive than give the Sign. Then the Grand shall finally
" accost him in thèse Words,
" Brother &c. In ail cases &c."
MEDALS.
One of the duties of the Grand on his élection was to invest the two Officers (hia
own Deputy Grand, and Grand Secretary) chosen by him, with their proper Me dais.
To see that ail the Officers wear their respective Medals in Committees and
dnring Chapter honrs.
As stated above, the Secretary, Wardens and Committee Men were invested with
their proper Medals on the Anniversary by the Wardens.
The Regalia of the Order is mentioned in the rule about funerals, where it is
directed that on the death of a Brother, the Brethren and officers in particular of the
Chapter to which he belonged were to assemble in the Chapter Room, and thence
proceed to attend the Corpse to the Grave (provided it be agreeable to the friends of
the deceased) in the Regalia of the Order.
It is perhaps strange that few of thèse Medals appear to hâve survived, but as a
fact we do not know exactly what form they took.
In the ceremony, it is clear that the Sword, was the badge of the Junior Warden,
who bas " to attend with the Sword of his office." Some at least of the simple jewels
representing a sword, now attributed to Free Masonry, may just as well bave been
Medals of Gregoiîau Chapters.

Sorae very interesting partie alars are found in a letter from the late Mr. Edward
Hawkins, then keeper of the Antiquities at the British Muséum, printed in Notes and
Querïes (2nd Séries, vj., 1858, p. 273). He writes of the Gregorians,
" Their arms are azuré, a fess wavy, between in chief, a dove volant ; in base,
two snakes entwined (caduceus fashion). Crest, Time, with his hour-gla^s and
Scythe. Supporters, a wivern, and a dove, with the olive branch. Motto, in Hebrew
characters, " Shalom," i.e. Peace. I hâve three différent medals or badges of the
Society, probably belonging to différent chapters. One, diameter two inches, bas the
arms, supporters, and motto, but not the crest. The Serpent of Eternity forms à
border. Another, about the same size, bas the crest, but not the serpent. The third
bas the arms, supporters, crest, and motto. On the broad rim is PONTE FRAOT,
probably the place where the chapter existed, and on a band below bas been some-
thing, now purposely obliterated, probably the name of the member to whom the badge
belonged. On the reverse is a philosopher seated, pointing with one hand to the sun,
which occupies the whole field, and with the other to a scroll lying on a globe, and
ex'plaining something to three youths who stand before him. Behind him is a pyramid.
On the rim of the mcdal above are some signs of the zodiac, and below the word
FUIMUS. I bave also a large state sword ; the boss of the handle bas on each side
the Serpent of Eternity. On the handle, two figures of Time like the crest. The guard
is composed of two serpents or wingless dragons. The sheath is of velvet, richly
decorated with embossed gilt bands, whereon appears the hour-glass. On one side is
the arms of the society, on the other the folio wing inscription : * William Smith, Firsfc
Vice-Grand of Cheap Side Chapter, 1736.'"
Brother le Sfcrange ttjUs me that on the original painting by Sir Benjamin West,
of Sir Edward Astley, Bart., the colour of the ribbon to which his jewel is suspended is
red : it will be noticed also that it bears, indistinctly, the sitting figure of a philosopher,
as described above, or of a woman.
XJpon the engraved summons in Brother Watson's collection, and the Engraved
list of Chapters in the G ardner collection, are the same symbols as found on the Medals.
The arms, crest and motto appear on the latter, where at the feet of the dove supporter
is the globe, the entwined serpents are in the top corners.
On the Wakefield summons, the word Shâlôm in Hebrew letters is found on the
leaves of the olive branch carried in the beak of the dove ; Father Time, pointing to the
rising sun, is balanced by the pyramid on the other side. The sun is overshadowed by
an arc containing five signs of the Zodiac ; the sword and Bible are represented, and
below is the Terrestiial globe over which is thrown a scroll bearing the words
GREGORIAN CHARTER.
This symbol may simply indicate that the Wakefield Chapter was regularly
constituted, but I am inclined to think from the fact that the same arrangement
is found upon the Medal, it refers to a legendary history, of which no record seems to
bave survived. This idea seems to be supported by the use of two forms of the date.
I must leave the explanation of the sun rising beneath the five signs of the
Zodiac to our astronomical or astrological Brethren.
The date is expressed in two forms, according to the somewhat absurd fancy of
the time, a.d. 18 . . , is made to correspond with A. g., or the year of the Society of
Gregorians (not the Gregorian year) 52 ... ; If the usual system is adopted, of
deducting the a.d. from the A.G., the différence is 3400. Of course, neither of the dates
is complète, and it is only by the discovery of a copy of the Summons with the other
figures filled in, that the supposed date of the beginning of Gregoriam can be recovered,

TOâSTS.
The Grand annouuced the Constitutional Toasts, which he desired should be
honoured at each Chapter.
The tollowing are the Constitutional Toasts which were to be honoured at
table in ail Chapters at the discrétion of the Chairman : —
1. The'King, Familj, and Friends.
2. The Grand of the Order.
3. The Grand Secretary of the Order.
4. The Prelate & Pro- Grands.
5. Absent Brethren.
6. Gregorians, & their barns, Those that
lie in Gregorian's arms, & those that wou'd do.
7. Prosperity to Gregorism ail over the world.
In one of the suggestions, Bro. Gledhill is mentioned. Jonathan Gledhill was
an Inn Keeper.
When many years ago I first began to collect notes for this paper, Bro. William
Watson, of Leeds, very kindly lent me the book of Members of the Wakefîeld Chapter
of Gregorians.
It is much to be regretted that the custom was to keep the Book of Minutes
separate from the List of Memberd. Had it been otherwise they would probably hâve
been found in one of the two MS. now exhibited. Bro. Watson*s MS. volume supplies
an iuteresting list of the Members belonging to the Wakefîeld Chapter.
From it we also learn that the mother Chapter of tho Wakefîeld Chapter was
held at the neighbouring Town of Pont^fract. The prime movers in the fou n dation
of the Wakefîeld Chapter were four Members of the Pontefract Chapter, two of them
being the Rev. Richard Munkhoase, D.D., and Richard Linnecar, both well-known
Freemasons.
Six other Wakefîeld men were initiated at Pontefract on the 8th of June, 1796,
preparatory to the institution of the Wakefîeld Chapter, which took place ou the 24rth
of June, 1796.
The last date of initiation, given in the list is 18Q5, with some others without a
date : and the death of one member is entered as having taken place in the year 1811,
so perhaps we may suppose that this Chapter was in existence after that date.
In Bro. William Watson's collection is also the copy of an engraved summons
already referred to, calling the members of the ancien t and honourable society together
for the qaarterly meetings, at the Strafford's Ai'ms in Wakefîeld. It will be noticed
that the word Society is used instead of Order.

130 Transactions of the QtuUuor Goronatx Lodge.
Bro, W. B. Hextall lorites : —
Under " Gi'egory," as a surname, I find in the Dictionary of National Biograpby,
xxiii., 97 : " Gregory, Francis, D.D., 1625(?)-1707. Divine and schoolmaster, an ardent
Royalist, he was chosen to preach the thanksgiving sermon for the Restoration, at St.
Mary's, Oxford, 27th May, 1660. Pablished several works, appointed Chaplain to
the King, and in 1671 presented to the living of Hambleton, Bucks., which he kept
till his death in 1707. He published . . . and printed several sermons, inclnding
• . . The Qregorian Account, or Spiritual Watch, 1673, preached at St. Michaers,
Cornhill."
A copy of the sermon is in the library of the British Mnseum, whence I take
the folio wing particnlars.: —
The Gregorian Account or the Spiritual Watch. — A sermon preached
to the Society of the Gregories dwelling in abont the city of London, and assembled in the
Church of St. Michael, Cornhill, June 19th, 1673. By Francis Gregory, D.D., Rector
of Hambleton, in the Coanty of Backs., one of his Sacred Majesty's Chaplains in
Ordinary. London : Printed by E. Flesher, for Richard Royston, Bookseller to his most
Sacred Majesty, 1673."
The sermon is prefaced by an Epistle Dedicatory —
" to my esteemed friends, Capt. Jeremie Gregory, Citizen and Goldsmith
of London, and Mr. Philip Gregory, Citizen and Mercer, Stewards of the
Gregories Feast, the 19th of June, 1673, and to the rest of that Loving
Society.
" I am one of your number, and hâve the hononr to wear your Arms,
and bear your name, for the Hearers being Gregories, . . . and
there being a young Gi'egory to be Baptized, . . . some Gregory or
other should wash the Infant's face and (though no Pope nor Papist) sign
its forehead too. . . .
" . . . That it may produce this blessed effect upon you and every
Gregory shall be the constant prayer of
" Your friend and Servant,
"Francis Gregory."
Then foUow some verses " To the Society of the Gregories, upon the Name and
Meeting at St. Michael's, Cornhill, the 19th of June, 1673."
" . . a complexion
Of men whose Humour with their name is one.
Th' Saints' influence and this good Companies'
Hâve made St. Michael^s a St. Gregories.
Aut QregoriuSj aut nullus.
Jer. Gregory."
The text of the sermon was Mark xiii., 87, " And what I say unto you, I say unto
ail: Watch."
Page 23. There is . . . one argument . . . that I must press apon
myself and you who are my Namcsakes
Page 25. I could mention several Namesakes of ours that were no sleepers.

. . . the most watcbfall créature, and this Lion not Dormant, not Coacliant, but
Passant, and upon his Legs too
Let us so order . . . tbat we may one daj meet again . . . bis faitbfnll
Gregories, for ever and ever. [End.]
Hère we bave a cleric, distinguisbed by bis loyalty to Cbarles II., and promoted
to bonour at tbe Restoration, in 1673 preacbing and publisbing a spécial sermon on a
spécial occasion to ^^the Society of the Qregories dweîUng in ahout the City of Lo^idon"
witb epistle dedicatory to tbe ** Stewards of the Qregories Feast . . . and to the rest
of that Loving Society.'* G-ranted tbat tbis Society was in 1673 confined to members of
a family, or, at most, to persons bearing tbe name of Gregory, is not tbe development
or évolution from this to tbe larger Society of " Gregorians," more likely tban tbe
unsatisfying attribution of tbe latter's name to Pope Gregory tbe First ? From 1673
to 1730 is practicaily 60 years. Tbe " Epistle " refers to " a young Gregory to bo
Baptized," so tbat tbere were young members to carry on tbe " Gregories " Society,
probably for long after Francis Gregory 's deatb in 1707. Tbe mère fact of
tbere being a " Gregories " Society actually in existence would make its extension
and enlarged scope, as well as tbe change of name (wbicb is but sligbt, from
*^ Gregories'* to *^ Gregorians*')^ easy, and 60 years would afEord ample time for tbe
transition from tbe family to the more gênerai institution. Assuming tbe " Gregories"
existed up to (or to a time not long before) tbe first mention we find of " Gregorians,"
we bave a coincidence significant enougb to dcserve attention.
I am indebted to Bro. Songburst for reminding me tbat tbe Gregorian
Constitutional Soug says,
** Our Friendsbip and Affiuity
Surpasses consanguinity
As gold surpasses ore."
Sometbing may be due to the exigencies of rbyme, but from tbe word
"consanguinity" may also be inferred a référence to family relationship sucb as
existed amongst tbe Gregories.
As to Pope Gregory tbe First ; so far, I know of no suggestion wby tbe name
sbould be derived from bim except tbat be is traditionally credited witb baving sent
St. Augustine to England. But the " Gregorians" were not a religions bod y ; and, if
tbeir name really came from a Pope Gregory, it was more likely taken from Gregory
tbe Tbirteentb, wbo reigned 1572-1585, and in 1582 introduced tbe " new style " of
reckonîng tbe caleudar, to supersede tbe Julian calendar wbicb bad prevailed from
B.c. 46. This " Gregorian Calendar," adopted in Germany in 1700, was well known in
Ëngland long before its formai adoption hère, after many years of discussion and différence
of opinion, in 1751, and (amongst otber appellations given to it) was mentioned by
Thomas Fuller, in bis " Holy and Profane State " (1642), as " the Gregorian Account,"
— that being tbe identical phrase witb wbicb Dr. Francis Gregory beaded bis Cornbill
Sermon of 1678. Tbere was great excitement in England over tbe compulsory adoption
of the " new style," and ** Give us our eleven days " figure in tbe first of Hogartb's
" Election Prints " as " one of tbe élection cries of that time, wbicb gives us no very bigb
conception of tbe intelligence of tbe créature tbat calls itself tbe Britisb public."
(Hogarth and his Pîctures, by the Rev. Hagb Stowell Brown, 1860). Dr. Francis
Gregory was a contemporary of Fuller, and appears to bave sbared tbe latter's love for
a quip, and even for a pun, wben we read tbe title of bis sermon, "Tbe Gregorian
Digitized by
Google
132 fràngactions of the Quatuor Coronati Loâgë,
Acconnt, or the Spiritual Watch," rememberÎDg that, amongst proper names, to
" Gregory " is given the meaning, " watchman."
It seems to me probable that some kind of succession, or connexion, did ezist
between the Society of the " Gregories '* of 1673 and earlier, and that of the later
*' Gregorians ** ; and also possible that the " new style," as a prominent topic of the day,
had au influence in snggesting the latter name : any personal référence involved in the
Word being to the thirteenth, and notto the first, Pope Gregory of Rome.
In the British Muséum is a pamphlet of 32 pages, entitled ''The Hint, or A Free
Thought or Two " [etc., etc., long title]. , , . By a Gregorian. It bears no date,
but the British Muséum Catalogue suggests 1750. There is nothing distinctive in it,
and it consists of a diatribe against the habit of nsing oaths and curses in
conversation ; the only noticeable feature is the " Gregorian " as author.
The sermon mentioned in the Freemason's Magazine for 1858 as having been
preached to the Gregorians by Farmerie Maltus in 1762 is not in the British Muséum,
but I hâve seen the foUowing : — "A Sermon preached at Sfc. PauFs, Deptford,
Kent, on June 24th, 1752, before a select number of Gentlemen who stile themselves, ' The
Order of Ubiquarians.' By Farmeiy Maltus, LL.B., Lecturer of St. Mary Magdalen,
Bermondsey. London : J. Kippax, 1752." The only distinctive feature iu it is the title.
Bro, E. H. Dring wriUs : —
Bro. Rylands is to be congratnlated on having drawn attention to a snbject
"which not only has a great Masonic interest, but one that for more than a century has
baffled literary students. In the British Critic of 1805 (vol. 26, pp. 649-651) a reviewer
begs for more knowledge of Gregorism and in volume 77 of the Gentleman s Magazine
(pp. 231-2) he is referred authoritatively to Francis Gregory.
I am sorry that, although it was known to him, Bro. Rylands did not refer to
Frarxis Gregory's sermon of 1673, for a record of it and the reasons for repudiating it
as being connected with the Gregorians, may be helpf ul to later students.
The Title is as follows :—
THE I GBEGORIAN ACCOUNT, / OR TUE / SPIRITUAL WATCU. / A /
SERMON / Preached to the Society of the GREGORIES dwelliug in and about the /
City of London, and assembled in the Church / of St Michael Comhill, June 19. 1673.
By Francis Gregory D.D.
Rector of Hambleton in the County of Bucks, one pf his Sacred Majestie*s Chaplains
in Ordinary.
1673
It is dedicated : —
*'To my esteemed Friends, Capt. Jeremie Gregory, Citizen and Gold-Sraith
of London and Mr. Philip Gregoiy, Citizen and Mercer, Stewards of the Gregories
Feast the Nineteenth of June 1673, and to the rest of that Loving Society."
and it is prefaced by a poem, "To the Society of the Gregories." The text is taken
from Mark xiii., 37, " Watch."
It is of the usual type of Restoration sermons. At the end of the discourse after
mentioning the four great Gregorys, one is led to infor that the Society was named not

He, bowever, mentions that a lion is one of the charges in the society*8 coat of
arms. Althoagh I was at firsfc inclinée! to think that Qregorism was a direct descendant
of the Society of Gregories, this fact finally precludes such a possîbility. We know
from Mr. Hawkîns' note the arms of the later society in ^?hich there is no lion, and had
there been any direct connection betvsreen the two socîeties it is not possible for such an
important charge to hâve been dropped.

It is undated, bat I bave good reason to date it between 1740-42.
It is a remous trance of a religions tone, against profane langnage as nsed in the
London Streets, apparently written by a person ivho was not a born Londoner. On
page 2 be writes: — "I hâve for many Years liv'd within the Confines of this Great
City, . . . And there is not any Thing more évident than that the Vice oiprophane
Cursing and Swearing is hecome habituai and cmtomary among you,*^
Although the tract gives us no historical information it is interesting as shewing
that a Gregorian exerted what infinence he possessed in advancing Christian morality.
The next item I bave met with is a sermon by the Rev. John Lowe, M. A., Vicar
of Botherton : — " The Daties of Man as a member of Civil Society. A sermon preached
before the Ancient and Honourable Society of Gregorians at their Anniversary Meeting
at Pontefract on Wednesday July 11. 1792" (printed at Haddersfield). This again
gives no historical data.
I now come to the Rev. Richard Munkhouse who in addition to being a
Gregorian was a well-known Freemason. In bis Occasional Discourses, 3 vols., 8vo.,
1805,^ are a sermon preached before a Masonic Lodge and two sermons preached before
the Society of Gregorians. He was a prominent Mason, and, as will be seen from the
extracts below, lie lived a génération or two before his time, for he doubted much of the
'Megendary history.*' He appears to hâve made some attempt to ascertain the early
history of Gregorism.
In the préface to vol. 1 oocars the foUowing passage : — " Of Freemasonry many
and éloquent hâve been the panegyrists : — Of Gregorism, not a few. Thèse are Sister
Societies no less upright and amiable in their principles than vénérable for their
antiquity. With certain characteristic peculiarities in their Constitutions and Laws
and such as readily distinguish them from other Societies they are admirably adapted
to the purposes of their respective Institutions and well calculated to promote the

comfort and supply the wants of men in the spirit of a disinterested and diffasive
benevolence. The satisfaction and advantages which hâve followed the récent
admission of Gregorism into this place are too well nnderstood, too sensibly felt to
require a laboured or arfcificial eulogism and for any exerfcions which hâve been made
towards forming and supporting it thèse will be fully recompensed by an observation of
the gooi ejïects and (if it shoald forfcanately happen) by the formation of new Chapters
in the neighbouring places.'*
The first sermon is as foUows : —
" A / Discoarse / delivered in the / Church of St. John Baptist, Wakefield, / Jane 26.
1797 / Before the Officers and Brethren of the Wake- / field Chapter of Gregorians, on
commemo / rating their First anniversary."

. . . . " From thèse reflec tiens I pass to the subject of the ancient and
honoarable society the anniversary of which we are this dayassembled to commemorate.
How shall we accoant for the darkness that is spread over the earlier periods of its
history ? or to what shall we attribute the slender influence of its charms among a
people so extolled for their philanthropy — so prone to acts of kindness and beneficence.
Is it not surprising that an Institution which professes to strengthen the bonds of
brotherly affection, to supply the wants and make light the burden of adversity should
be so little known, its blessings so very partially distributed ....
" We hâve indeed seen a sister society industrionsly traced (in its operative qaality
at least) from âge to âge and existing in every climate from the period of création to
the présent hour. Its records are closely interwoven with the Annals of holy writ ;
and its traditions must be allowed to assume an air of soberness and authenticity. If
amid the silence that prevails on the subject of Gregorism, we hâve to regret the
darkness in which much of its history is absolutely involved, we may however securely
felicitate ourselves on this, that it is not rendered ludicrous by the minute and
laboured détails of an intricate narrative, nor fondly perplexed by the busy meddlings
of vague and fanciful conjectures — such for instance as commonly accompany the
fabulons historiés of the primeval establishments of the Earth. Ail that we are enabled
to collect at this day concerning the probable era of our vénérable order, is to be sought
for in its mystic symbols ; in that curions display of hieroglyphic leaming, which amid
the révolutions of time and the wreck of âges has descended to us. Thèse emblems,
indeed, it is to be apprehended, hâve undergone material modifications. They may not
I grant hâve been faithf ully derived from the very period of the Institution whilst it is
obvions to remark that some of them are coeval with time itself, and ail may boast of
antediluvian antiquity ....

date of the sermon, os we know, from the Norfolk Chronicle, Prince William did not accept the office
of Grand of the Order until August, 1797.

Notes on the Society of Qregorians, 135
" Scarce are yon become members of this ancient and honourable Society, than we
receive the most satisfactory communications of its increasing influence and numbers
among distant brethren. Scarce bas the sun performed his annual révolution, before we
reckon on the rolls of our Order and proudly acknowledge iw our Head, a virtuous and
an amiable Prince^ of the ancient and Royal House of Brunswick. Such are the
auspicious circumstances connected with the commencement of this Chapter
" You bave if I may so speak hereby set yourselvea apart in the cause of philan-
thropy .... The duties which you owe to one another as Gregorians are
nniformly those of affability attachment and confidence.'' He also draws attention to
the motto of the Order, " Peace."
Munkhouse delivered a second sermon before the same chapter, at the same
church, on June 27th, 1799, taking for his text i. Peter, iii., 8, ** Love as Brethren," etc.
In it he refers to the Act 39 Geo. III., cap. 79, and hopes that it will not affect the Society
of Gregorians, and claims for the Society perfect loyalty to the King and the position of
our more modem " Charity Organisation Society."
There is, however, a three-page Appendix detailing the Proceedings of the last
meeting of the Wakefield Chapter, from which I make the foUowing extracts : —
• March 22. 1798
At a Gommittee held in the Chapter Room this Day at one o*clock P.M.
Officers présent etc. etc.
The Grand in the chair, after suggesting the Propriety of the Brethren of this Chapter
contributing toward the support of Government in the présent critical situation of
affairs, moved

to the service of our Oountry ; without any design of narrowing thereby a future and
more gênerai Contribution.
5. That thèse our Proceedings be forthwith notified to our Elder and much
respected Brethren of the Norwich and Pontefract Chapters in a full assurance that
they will be pleased to express their approbation of them.
Althongh the grounds for forming any definite conclusion as to thepolitical aims
of the Society are slender, I think Bro. Rylands is correct in saying they were in support
of the Hanoverian Succession. Consequently the members were upholders of the
English Church. In fact I am inclined to go further and suggest that it was originally
a Protestant Church Society with political aims, and that having served its purpose it
died a natural death when Cardinal York, the last of the Stuarts, died in 1807, for it is
a curions coincidence that about this date the Gregorians seem to disappear.
If thèse conclusions be correct, I cannot help thinking an inference may be drawn
regarding the earlier Society of Gregories, as shewn by Francis Gregory's sermon.*
The date of it is 1673, which at once reminds us of the Test Act, and the state of public
opinion at that time. Green writes " What overpowered ail other feelings was a vague
sensé, which we know now to hâve been justified by the facts, that liberty and religion
were being unscrupulously betrayed. There was a suspicion that the whole armed

force of the nation was in Catholic hands." And it is not nnlikely that a Society was
formed to safegnard Protestantism, and the most appropriate text for a* sermon
addressed to such a Society in such troubloas times would be "Watch.'* This Sociefy
of Gregories might well hâve become dissolved with the advent of William and Mary,
and when a Church anti-Jacobite Society was formed in the early years of George II.,
having somewhat similar religions objects, it is quite likely they selected, from the same
motives as the carlier Society, the name of him who, rightly or wrongly, has for
centaries been looked npon as the fonnder of the English Church, viz : Pope Gregory.
Bro. S. T. Klein writes : —
Bro. Rylands has done good service in bringing before ns ail the known facts
connected with the Society of Gregorians. In the eighteenth and early nineteenth
centnries there were many Societies existing which apparently claimed affinity to
Freemasonry or, at ail events, pretended to be worked on similar lines, and many
stndents of our Graft must hâve felt the want of some such tabulated information
concerning thèse Societies as Bro. Rylands has given ns in connection with tho
Gregorians.
The Astronomical aspect given to the Wakefield Sommons by the introduction
of five signs of the Zodiac and the figure of Father Time pointing to the Sun as it risea
nnder each of thèse signs is, I think, very suggestive that the Society of the Gregorians
may hâve owed its very initiation to that sharp controversy which raged throngh
Europe during the first half of the eighteenth centnry and culminated in the Julian
Calendar being supplanted by the Gregorian in a.d. 1762, an Act of Parliament being
passed in this country in that year to drop 13 days from the Calendar, and also one day
at the beginning of each century in future. Ali European nations adopted the change
except Russia, where the Julian Calendar is still used, and where the date is conseqnently
différent from ours.
The five signs of the Zodiac depicted on the Shmmons may refer to the dates of
meetings, though they can hardly represent the quarterly meetings. The first sign
from the left is Cancer (The Crab), which is entered by the Sun on about June 21st,
and it appears that the anniversary meeting was actually held about that time, namely,
on June 24th if that day was a Thursday, otherwise a week later. The other four signs
are as foUows: —
Libra, which is entered by the Sun about September 22nd.
Léo, „ „ „ „ July 23rd.
Taurus, „ „ „ „ April 20th.
Virgo, „ „ „ „ August24th.
Apart from the question whether thèse signs regulated the dates of the other four meetings
is the curions fact that they are not placed in their proper order, bnt become so if tho
whole five signs are placed at the points of a 5-pointed star and the line forming that
star is folio wed, a not uncommon proceedure among the Alchemists in the Middle Ages
and Hermetics of to-day.

Remarks followed from the W.M., Bros. E. L. Hawkins, G. J. Crkswell,
Archdeacon F. E. Clarke, Dr. S. Walshb Onven, Sir John Binoham, Rev. W. E.
Scott-Hall and the Seceetary ; and a hearty vote of thanks was unanimously passed to
Bro. Rylands.
I am very greatly obliged to Bros. Hextall and Dring for having so kindly, and
with 80 much research, supplemented my paper. I gave up the Society of Gregories
becanse it was ont of my power to make the later Order or Society of Gregorians
descend from them : and no proof was forthcoming which continned the Gregories, np
to the time of tke Gregorians. They may hâve been more or less identical, but at the
présent time I cannot think that it was so. Nor do I suppose that the Gregorian
Calendar was conneoted with the name of the Society of Gregorians. At the same time
I trust that this is only the beginning of our researohes, and that other points will be
broaght to light in future pages of the Transactions,
To Bro. Klein I would offer my thanks for having devoted time to the considéra-
tion of the Zodiacal signs on the Arch. One would think that the arrangement of the
signs had some spécial meaning, though, like Bro. Klein, I qui te failed to find it.
I am sorry no one bas tackled the Gregorian Chronology, or the A.G. of the
Summons ; I may repeat my suggestion that it may hâve been connected with Enoch,
about whom a legend connected with two pillars is found in The Book of Constitutions
issued in 1738.

A MASONIC PANTOMIME AND SOME OTHER PLAYS.
BY BRO. W. B. HEXTALL, F.M.
N The Moming Ghronicle^ The Morning Herald^ The Gazetteer, and
probably in otber London newspaperô of Friday, Deceraber 29th,
1780, an advertisement appeared as follows: — " At the Théâtre
Boyal in Covent Garden, This Day will be présente^ The Suspicions
Husband To which will be added (first time) a new
Pantomime caird Harleqnin Free-Mason. To conclnde* with a
Procession of the Principal Grand Masters, from the Création to the
présent Century, dressed in the Habits of tbeir respective Ages and Countries. With
new Mnsic, Scènes, Dresses, Pageants, and Décorations. Books of the Songs, with an
explanation of the Pageant, to be had at the Théâtre."
The next day, December 30th, the newspapers named gave, in commendatory and
practically identical terms, ealogistic notices of the Pantomime, from which we gather
that the words and mnsic were written and composed by Charles Dibdin, the song
writer, and that the vocalists included Mr. Reinhold and Mr. Wewitzer, ail well-known
names of the time.^ The following is the acconnt of the plot or story, somewhat abbre-
viated, but otherwise given Verbatim from thèse contemporary journals : —
** The opening scène is conformable to an Opinion held by ail Freemasons,
namely, * that the Original of Architecture is taken from that great Building, MAN.'
Conformable whereunto three Masons are discovered at work on a Figure, representing
a man, composed of the différent Ordera of Architecture, as, The Head, of the Composite
— The Arms, of the Corinthian — The Body, of the lonic — The Thighs, of the Doric — and
The Legs, of the Tuscan. On the signal for leaving Work they départ, when the shade
of Hiram Abbiff (Grand Warden to King Solomou, and his Assistant in building the
Temple) rises. From the aforesaid Stone Figure he produces an Harlequin ; gives him
a Mason*s Apron, instructs him in the use of Tools, and endows a Trôwel with Magic
Power which is to assist him in ail his difficulties ; then he leaves him. Harlequin*s
first sight of Columbine (who is the Daughter of a Jew) is with her Father while he is
surveying a hoase which he is about to hâve built : and the first proof Harlequin gives
of the virtue of the Trowel is by shewing the Building compleated at a touch ....
The second Exerfcion of Harlequin's Trowel is among a group of Peasants at the Alps,
by raising a Temple of Bacchus ; and the next by a Représentation of the Wooden
Building in Covenfc Garden where the Aloe was shown. Many more Adventures are
introduced, and Changes of Scenery ; partie ularly a Frost Scène in HoUand, with
Skaiters, to a tumultuous Sea, a Court of Justice to the Market at Billingsgate ; and the
whole interspersed with occasional Airs, Catches, and Chorusses, till Hiram Abbiff
again appears, and obtains the old Jew*s assent to the Marriage of Harlequin and his
Daughter. This Point setfcled, he signifies the necessity of his Attendance at a Grand
Lodge ; it being the Anniversary Feast to install a new Grand Master of the Autient
and Noble Order of Free and Accepted Masons. This naturally introduces
* The song, " Hail Masonry, thou craffc divine," is, however, much older than Dibdin's time, and
is attribnted in the Constitutions of 1723 to Bro. Charles Delafaye, " To be Sung and Play'd at the

a Procession, wherein, bv a regular Succession of ail the principal Grand Masters, from
Enoch to the présent time, the Antiquity, Advancement, and Dignity of Masonrj are
illustrated in a pleasing and instructive Manner."
A rather discordant note, however, was struck by The Moming Post of the same
day, which, after some remarks derogatory to pantomimes generally, went on to say,
" we shall content ourselves with laying before our readers a faithf ul narrative of the
incidents and scènes exhibited in the new pantomime, without pretending to pass any
censure on a kind of performance the absurdity of which no one in his sensés ever
disputed " ; and gave an account of some minor incidents in the pièce, one being, " A
Dutch Gentleman, whom the Jew has designed for his Son-in-law, sends him a pig
which makes him fly into a violent passion.'* Possibly a key to the disapprobation
expressed by The Moming Post may be found in the circumstance that the Stage
Manager at Covent Garden Théâtre— from 1774 to his death in 1820— was Thomas
Harris, who, " was accused of sacrificing to spectacle the best interests of the drama ; "^
though of the laudatory notices in ail the other newspapers it may be truly said that
their unanimity of sentiment was only equalled by the identity of the language which
gave expression to it.
We are indebted to Bro. Edward Armitage, who has unearthed and sent us the
following copy of a pamphlet' in the Library of the Suprême Council 33°. This may
perhaps be called the Third Edition, as two différent prints dated 1780 are known to
exist, one in the collection of Bro. J. T. Thorp, of Leicester, and the other in that of Bro.
T. Francis, of Alresford. In Bro. Thorp's copy the Order of Procession is foUowed by
the songs, etc., while that of Bro. Francis is arranged in precisely the same manner as
the Suprême Council Copy of 1781, which is now given in full.

celebrated Sorcôrer. The beauty of the first scène, in which a setfcing sun is
admirably contrived, the Datch winter pièce, with nnmberless skaters moving in the
niost natural attitudes, and above ail, theimperfect building, finished in a moment at
the oommand of Harlequin, can be excecded only by the pomp of the historié procession
which closes the whole, and offers the richest and most intelligent spectacle that ever
yet appeared on an English stage.*'
Itwillbeseen that the setting sun accords with "Airs I. and III.," and the
skating scène with the ** Duetto," in the Book of Songs. The introduction of the
skating élément inclines one to suspect that the Covent Garden Management of that
day in a measure proceeded on the Unes so candidly laid down by Mr. Vincent
Crummles, in " Nicholas Nickleby,"^ and adapted their productions to existing
" properties " ; especially as in notices otherwise eulogietic it is incidentally mentioned
that portions of the scenery used in the skating scène had appeared in some previous
production. The pantomime, however, seems to hâve been fairly successful, and The
Moming Chronicle of January 20th, 1781, had an advertisement : " On account of the
great demand for places at each night's performance of the new Pantomime call'd
Harlequin Freemason, ladies and gentlemen may dépend on its being represented every
night till further notice." This continued to be the case until February 6th, 1781, after
which date it wasplayed at irregular intervais until December lOth, 1781, when it made
its last appearance, being played for the sixty-third time. It was throughout played as
an after-piece.
In March, 1781, there was advertised as in a few days to be published, " Number
2 of the Monthly Lyrist, Containing favourite Songs, including those of Harlequin
Freemason." As a fact, some, but not ail, of the songs, etc., in the " Book of the Songs,"
were included, whilst an additional one is added, as being sung by Mr. Doyle. In " A
Collection of English Ballads," vol. iii., 1790, the same song is described as " The
Coachman's Song, in Harlequin Freemason, Sung by Mr. Doyle ; Composed by Mr.
Dibdin." The words of it are.
Hère I was my good Masters, my name's Teddy Clinch,
My Cattle are sound and I drive to an Inch,
From Hydô Park to White Chappel I well know the Town,
And many's the time Fve took np and sot down.
In short in the Bills^ l'il be bound for't there's not -
A young youth who like Teddy can tip the long trot.
Oh the notions of life that I see from my box
While fares of ail kinds come about me in flocks ;
The Sot, who I drive home to sleep out the day ;
The kind one who plies for a fare at the Play ;
Or your gents of the law, there, who, four in a lot,
To Westminster Hall I oft tip the long trot.
My Coach receives ail like the Gallows and Sea,
So I touch but my Fare, yoa know all's one to me,
The men of the Gown, and the men of the Sword,
A Ma'am or a Gambler, a Rogue or a Lord,
To wherever your'e going I well know the spot,
And do you tip a tizzy, l'il tip the long trot.

This song was, no donbt, a new featare introduced to kcep alive pnblîc înterest
in tlie pièce, whicb, after it liad rnn some fîve weeks seems to bave a little declined in
popalarity, tbougb it was played at intervais nearly throu^^b 1781, and acbieved at
least a respectable success.
Beverting to tbe " Procession of the principal Grand Masters," wbicb was sncb
a prominent part of tbe spectacle, tbe descriptions sbow tbat tbese were mainly
eitber taken bodily, or were parapbrased, from tbe Book of Constitutions, of wbicb tbe
tben current édition was tbat of 1767, tbougb some portions of tbem seem to
point to " Tbe Complète Freemason, or Multa Paucis for Lovers of Secrets," (1763)
as tbeir source. In tbe description under " XIII^ Banner," tbe âge and date of deatb
of Eapbael of Urbino, tbe Artist, are erroneously given as tbose of Pope Julius II. of
Borne. Witb tbis exception tbe descriptions are pretty correctly taken from one
or otber of tbe sources quoted. Tbe symbolioal omaments borne witb tbe varions
pillars comprise tbe pillars of Enocb, tbe Pyramid, and Solomon's pillars ; wbilst tbe
XVP^ Banner was attended by " two to carry tbe Obelisk." Wbat especial référence
was intended by " tbe Obelisk ** is not easy to surmise. Tbere were tben in London at
least tbree obelisks ; one in Fleet Street, mentîoned in contemporary advertisements in
tbe Moming Chronicle^ relating to, " No. 1, at tbe corner of Fleet Street, opposite tbe
Obelisk," and " tbe Warebouse, No. 98, Fleet Street, six doors from tbe Obelisk " ;
a second in Red Lion Square, witb a tradition attacbing tbat it marked tbe burial
place of Oliver Cromwell ; and a ibird in St. George's Cirons, Soutbwark, erected in
1771 in bonour of Lord Mayor Crosby, for baving, witb bis coUeagae, Alderman Jobn
Wilkes, obtained tbe release of a printer wbo was imprisoned for publisbing tbe
Parliamentary debates. Wbefcber eifcber of tbese suggested tbe obelisk in tbe
pantomime must be regarded as doubtful ; if tbere was any local meaning, tbe
association would ratber seem to be witb Kensingfeon Palace, Cbelsea Hospital,
Hampfcon Court Palace^ or Greenwicb Hospital, wbicb are ail named witb tbe particnlar
Banners under wbicb tbe obelisk was ranged in tbe Pantomime. Witb tbe X LX'^ Banner,
devoted to tbe " Royal Arcb," are " two bearing tbe Pageant." Tbe advertisement
quoted at tbe commeucement of tbis paper names *^ Scènes, Dresses, Pageants, and
Décorations," foUowed by *'an explanation of tbe Pageant," tbe last being used to
signify tbe elaborate displays wbicb bave become fréquent in tbe last few years, and an
imposing examp^e of wbicb many of us saw in 1907 at Bury St. Edmunds. For
tbe meaning of '* pageant " in its lesser seuse, tbe following passage from '* Literary
and Qrapbical Illu*:)fcrations of Sbakspeare and tbe Britisb Drama," 1831, may assist : —
" Tbe stages of tbe ancient religions mysteries and miracle plays, called ' Pageant-
bouses,' consisted of large and bigb frame*carriages, mounted on wbeels, and formed
like dwellings contaîning two stories. ... A décoration, or Pageant, representing
tbe gênerai scène of tbe pièce, was erected on tbe stage. . . . Tbe Tbeatres were
drawn from one street to anotber in appointed order as eaob pièce concluded, . . .
and nine separate Pageants were exbîbited in one day." Probably tbe ^' pageant," as
bere used, was a painted représentation of some kind, borne alof t ; being, in fact, itself
a banner, but, of course, mucb smaller in size tban tbe X[X^^ Banner to wbicb it was
incidental.
No cast, or list, of tbe performera is given, eitber in tbe advertisements, play-
bills (wbicb are virtually complète for tbat period of Covent Garden at tbe Britisb
Muséum), or newspaper notices; but a play-bill of "A New Pantomime: Tbe Cboice

as to jastify the inference that at least sorae of the performers took part în the last-
named. Their names are: — Mr. Bâtes, Bdwin, Darley, Doyle, Stevens, Mrs. Martyn
and Mrs. Morton, and this is sapported by the nearly identical cast given in Genest's
" English Stage," 1832, for " The Mirror or Harleqain, Every-where," played at Covent
Grarden, 1779-80. Doyle, we know, daring the rnn of the pièce, sang "The
Coachman*s Song;" and the newspaper notices farther tell us that Reinhold sang, and
Wewitzer played, in the pièce.
The pantomime having been played for the last time on December lOth, 1781,
the Covent Garden playbills show that, in conj anctîon with several other pantomimes,
it sapplied matcrial for " Harleqain's Chaplet," described as " a collection of favourite
scènes from the foUowing celebrated pantomimes," which was played 34 times between
December, 1789, and Febraary, 1790 ; and the " Skaiter*s Doet," beginning ** This
bleak and frosty morning," was sung by Mr. Gray and Mr. Linton in "Harlequin's
Muséum, or Mother Shipton Triumphant," played 46 times between December, 1792,
and April, 1793. No masonic characterg appear to be introduced in either of thèse
pièces.
That " Harlequin Free-Mason " was well received and thought of appears from
" The History of the Théâtres of London," 1796, vol. i., 100, which, after referring to
it as " contrived by Mr. Missink," says : — " This being the best and grandest panto-
mime exhibited for many years, brought cro.wded honses ;" whilst the BiograpMca
Dramatica, 1812 (edited by Stephen Jones), speaks of it as " this splendid and very
successful pantomime." No mention is made of it either în Q-enest's " English Stage,"
1832, or in ** The Annals of Covent Garden Théâtre, from 1732 to 1897," by H.
Saxe-Windham, 1906.
Ail the songs noticed as sung in the pantomime are contained in " The Songs of
Charles Dibdin," 1842 ; but the " Coachman*s Song " appears there under the name of
"The Long Trot," and in a différent part of the collection. This work states that
Dibdin received only £70 for his work in " Harlequin Free-Mason," and ** 1 therefore,"
says he, " determined never again to hâve any concern in a pantomime." Missink, who
superintended the production, is described as having formerly been " Garrick's
pantomimical factotum."
It may be considered a rétrograde step, — perhaps, in a double sensé, — to go back
from 1780 to the year 1731, when on January Ist, tbere was presented at the
Haymarket Théâtre, for the third time, " The Gênerons Freemason," of which Geoest's
" English Stage " gives the following description : " An Opéra in three acts, written
by Chetwood. Sébastian, a Freemason, and Maria run away together — on their
voyage to Spain they are taken prisoners by Mirza, and carried into Tunis — the King
of that place falls in love with Maria, and the Qaeen with Sébastian — Mirza tums ont
to be born of British parents, and to be a Freemason — he eflfects the escape of the
levers and himself — thèse scènes are serions and written in blank verse or rhyme — the
other part of the Opéra is quite comic — Old Moody is resolved that his danghter,
Cœlia, shall marry Squire Noodle — she is in love with Claremont— his servant, Davy,
plays tricks with Noodle, under colour of initiating him in Freemasonry — at the
conclusion Claremont is married to Cœlia, and Noodle to a kept mistress — thèse scènes
hâve a considérable degree of low humour." The text of the production thus described
was notodin A.Q.G.y vii., 87 and 190, and we shall hâve no difficulty in agreeing with
the opinion expressed by the late Bro. G. W. Speth that " the play itself is of no
value." But there are one or two points of interest arising upon it. The fnll title of

the published play (of wbich there are two copies at the British Muséum) is "The
Gênerons Freemason, or the Constant Lady. With the Humours of Squire Noodle and
bis man Doodle— a tragi-csomi-farcical ballad Opéra. In three acts , i . Bj the
author oî the Lover's Opéra. . . . London, printed for J. Roberts in Warwick
Lane, and sold hj the Booksellers of London and Westminster. 1731. Price one
Shilling." This was the same J. Roberts who, in 1722, had published from the same
address, " The Old Constitutions Belongîng to the Ancient and Honourable Society of
Free and Accepted Masons." To "The Gênerons Freemason" a dedication was
appended as follows : —
" To the Bight Worshipf ul the Grand Master, Deputy Grand Master,
Grand Wardens, and the rest of the Brethen of the Ancient and Honour-
able Society of Free and Accepted Masons, This Opéra is Hnmbly Inscrib'd
by your most Obedient and Devoted Servant, The Author,
A Freemason."
The noticeablo resemblance of this dedication to the opening words of the well-
known dedication of " Long Livers . . . . By Eugenius Philalethes," 1722, will
be remarked.
It would seem that " The Gênerons Freemason " had been presented to a larger,
if not more critical, audience at Bartholomew Fair, before being played at a permanent
Théâtre, and probably its stay at the Haymarket was but short, for Bïographtca
Bramatica (1812) quotes, " the complier of Whincop's catalogue says it was only per-
formed at Bartholomew Fair." The f oUowing is extracted from " Meraoirs of Bartholomew
Fair," by Henry Morley, London, 1880.—" In the Baily Post for August 21, 1730, and
following days, it is announced that at Oates and Fielding's great Theatrical
Booth, at the George Inn Yard, Smithfield, during the time of Bartholomew Fair,
will be presented an entire new Opéra, caird the Gênerons Freemason or the
Constant Lady, with the comic Humours of Squire Noodle and bis man Doodle, by
persous from both the Théâtres. The parts of the Ktng of Tunis by Mr. Barcock ;
Mirza, Mr. Paget ; Sébastian, Mr. Oates ; Clerimont, Mr. Fielding ; . . . Queen^
Mrs. Kilby ; Maria, Miss Oates .... Ail the Characters newly dress'd with
several enter tain ments of Dancing Beginning every day at two
o'clock." A feature of this somewhat indiffèrent spécimen of the drama was that it
contained no less than 25 songs, the only one of them having référence to the Craft
being the concluding one, commencing with the lines,
" By Masons Art th' aspiring Dôme
In varions Columns shall arise :"
and being sung, with a fitness which is not easy to appreciatc, by Neptune, and a
chorus. Perhaps it may be a redeeming feature that the air was " set by Mr. Hen.
Carey." Most, if not ail, of the songs appeared in a communication signed by Bro.
Alfred F. Robbins in The Freemason volume for 1906.
The author of the "Gênerons Freemason," William Rufus Chetwood,
seems to bave been fairly well-known; indeed, it is hardly uncharitable to
say that he appears to bave been better known than respected. Works of
référence say that, in addition to the " Lover's Opéra," of 1729, allusion to which
is made on the title-page, he published two plays called the " Stock-jobbers " and
" South-Sea or the Biter Bit," in 1720. Morley's " Bartholomew Fair," already
quoted, says that in 1731 there was presented a new Dramatic Opéra, called the
" Bmperor of China, Grand Vulgi," or "Love in Distress," and " Virtue Rewarded "

written by the anthor of the " Generoas Freemason " with the comical hamonrs of
Squîre Shallow in his Treatise of Marriage, and his man Robin Booby, intermixt with
varietj of songs, Old Ballads and Country Dances." It may well be that " The Emperor
of China, Grand Yulgi " was a production similar in its leading featares to *^ The
Gênerons Freemason," but I hâve not been able to see any copy of it.^ It was
apparently a fashion in plays of the class to introdace by way of comic relief a master
and his servant. " Social Life in the Reîgn of Qneen Anne," by John Ashton, 1897,
mentions as being presented at Bartholomew Fair, '* a new droll called the Siège of
Barcelona .... containing the Pleasant and Comical Exploits of that Benowned
Hero Captain Blnnderbnss and his man Sqnib ; " and this featare may well hâve been
a snrvival or imitation of snch prototypes as Don Qaixote and Sancho Panza ; Hndibras
and his man Ralpho ; or, at a later period, Mr. Geoffry Wildgoose and Jeremiah Tngwell
of " The Spiritual Qnixote."
Ghetwood at first combined the occupations of a bookseller with writing
for the stage ; and it is snrmised that Roberts, who published the " GeY)erous
Freemason," had sncceeded him in the former business.^ There is " A
General History of the Stage .... coUected and digested by W. R.
Ghetwood, Twenty years Prompter to his Majesty's Company of Comedians at tbe
Théâtre Royal in Drury Lane, London," 1749. Why, we do not know, but Ghetwood
seems to hâve been distrusted and disliked. George Steevens, the Shakespearian Gom-
mentator, called him " a blockhead and a measureless and a bnngling liar,"' whilst a
quite récent writer guards a certain statement with the remark that it is " according to
Ghetwood, .... but it requires more than Chetwood's uusupported authority to
render it probable," and again '* this addition is apparently due to Ghetwood, and is
therefore to be accepted with caution."^
Whilst Ghetwood foUowed the calling of a bookseller he issued a play, " Love
in a Forest, a Comedy. As it is Acted .at the Théâtre Royal in Drury Lane, By His
Majestys' Servants. By Mr. Johnson. London. Printed for W. Ghetwood at Cato's

against Exeter-Exchange in the Strand. 1723," which is only noticeable as containing
a dedication " To the Worshipf ul Society of Free-Masons," more conspicuous for flattery
of the Order than for grammar, and subscribed, " With the greatest Respect and Duty,
your most Obedient and devoted Brother and Servant, Charles Johnson."^ I regret to
hâve to say that the play thus heralded is, throughout, an unblushing plagiarism— indeed,
substantially a mère transcript — of Shakespeare's " Asyou like it," with the Pyramus and
Thisbe interlude from his " Midsummer Night*s Dream " thrown in ; no effort being
made to disguise the fraud, and the address of Adam to Orlando, and the *^ Seven Ages "
soliloquy of the melancholy Jaques, being copied in without the altération of a single
Word. The ostensible author seems to hâve had implicit confidence in either the
forbearance or the ignorance of his brethren : whilst the direct connexion of Ghetwood
with this impadent publication tends to show that George Steevens' outspoken criticism
of him was not far wide of the mark.
Prologues and Epilogues of a Masonic character were fréquent in the days when
a particular play was bespoken and patronised by the Craft, but additional attraction
was provided at the Dublin Théâtre on the occasion of the benefit of Bro. Thomas

A Masonic Pantomime ahâ some other PÎays, 15/
Griffifch, a comedian, and Past Secretary to tlie Grand Lodge of Ireland, in November,
1733, when the play was *' The Twin Rivais, with a Free Mason's Song between erery
Act, and a Prologue and Epilogue proper for tho Occasion."^
A considérable interval of time séparâtes the pantomime of 1780 from "The
Freemason ; a Dramatic sketch in one act, in verse. Imitated from the German," which
will be found in " The Freemason's Quarterly Review," for 1836, pages 299 and 432,
and consists of some 700 lines in rhyming couplets. The dramatts personœ are but four;
Caroline, a young lady sought in marriage by the Baron, who is a Freemason ; her Uncle ;
the Count — who being inquisitive about Masonic secrets bas, by a stroke of genius
which compels admiration, boaght the lease of a house in which a Lodge meets, in order
to become possessed of them, He says,
** I pack the pondérons parchment in my chest,
" Thinking the Mason's secret I possessed ;"
and on finding the desired arcana are not included in the purchasé uses somewhat lurid
language; — and Hans, servant of the Count; the latter pair being in legitimate
succession to Squire Noodle and his man Doodle, of Chetwood's " Gênerons Freemason."
Some portions are a little prosaic, for instance,
" Scène II.
Enter the Count.
Count, Good morning, Caroline !
Caroline. 1 hope you're well.
wherefore so sad ?
Count. Oh ! griefs I may not tell."
The Count is disgustedat finding that he cannot satisfy his curiosity, and induces
his nièce to attempt to obtain the information from the Baron, who, however, defeats
the conspiracy and gains the hand of Caroline, the baffled Count being left lamenting.
The production is signed at the end " Latomus," the pen-name of Bro. John Lane,
D.C.L., P.Prov.J.G.D. Oxfordshire, who died in October, 1850^. It is due to his memory
to say that in his dramatic sketch there are to be found some passages quite worthy of
quotation.
Entreated by Caroline to reveal to her the secrets of the Craft, the Baron
replies,
" So dearest Caroline, reject not now
The man who dares not break a solemn vow ;
For could I yield, you would yourself disdain
The man who basely sought your heart to gain ;
And he who bas to Masonry been true
Will also be most faithful, love, to you."
And almost the closing lines of the play are,
'' A Mason is a man whose sole delight
Is to be honourable and upright ;
To be a really honest man's his aim,
Ue sees but vanity in rank or name ;
To ail who are in distress, in every land,
He is a friend, and gives a brother's hand ;
His word's a sacred pledge of truth, and he
Ne'er utters, e*en in jest, a falsity."

The latest play with which I attempt to deal in any détail is " The Freemason,

is gîven, bat the pièce is stated to hâve been first performed> Jane 3rd, 1839 ; the action
taking place in a village in the West of England, and the costumes being those of the
reign of George II. Some anachronism is évident in the setting for Scène I., which
inclades an Hôtel, ** The Masons* Arms," as well as " The Tempérance Coffee and Cook
Shop "; the latter, at any rate, being bat an intelligent anticipation. It is Saint John*s
Day (presamably in Summer, as there is dancing on the green), and the landlords of
the rival bouses of entertainment follow np a wordy war with a bout at fisticuffs, after
which arrives " The Procession of the Lodge, in the following order.

It may, in passing, be worth calling attention to the marked similarity of this
" Procession of the Lodge " to the " Procession of St. James' Lodge, Tarbolton," as
shown in an engraving after D. 0. Hill, R.S.A., contained in "The Land of Bums, a
séries of Landscapes and Portraits," 1840; but representing an incident contemporaneous
with the poet.
The 80-called " Grand Master ** (Mr. Thomgrove) delivers an al fresco address

son, Frederick, is in, love with Ellen, a simple village maiden, who will never rest till
she is told the secrets of the Craft, and who sings a song, " The Ladies' Lodge," in
whicb occar the startiing lines,
*' Then women's delight shall be ail the night,
To riot, talk loud, and be boozing."
The Grand Master, for no reason that is apparent, confides to bis son that be bad
some tirae before, and under circumstances of the extremest provocation, murdered bis
wife in the Lodge room, with the Tyler's sword, so that ifc is not surprising to find him
represented in the following scène — a Masonic Bail — as "absorbed in melancholy,"
whicb is not alleviated wben bis long-lost brother, George, rushes in, denounces him as
a mnrderer, and on tearing down a panel of the wall, discloses a female corpse, thus
occasioning the stage direction, "A gênerai bnrst of borror, on whicb a tableau of
curiosity and terror is formed, and the Act quicklj drops."
In the second Act, the brothér, who alludes to bimself as " the bligbted tree of a
family orchard," and appears to bave lived up to the description, bopefully proposes to
blackmail bis eldcr brother, the Grand Master, to the tune of one balf of bis propertj,
and bints at the révélation of ''a yet more awful secret connected with the Lodge
room." After some of the tallest talk ever beard on tbis side of the Atlantic, between
the bligbted tree and bis nephew, the landlord of the Tempérance establishment sings
an appropriate and cheerful ditty to the tune of " The Mistletoe Bougb," with a refrain
to each verse of *' Oh, the Lodge-murder, oh !" and the villain brother, now describing
bimself as " a black monster," confesses to bis nephew that, in addition to committing
a murder as yet undiscovered, be bad robbed the Lodge of jewels, plate and money, and
présents a written confession for the purpose of clearing the Grand Master. The
nephew leaves the room, and the villain is in the act of taking back the con-
fession, wben the village maiden darts out from an old clock case, seizes a pair of
pistols, whicb the murderer and thief bad convenlently placed upon a table, — but the
situation must speak for itself :
[Musîc. Ellen stands in an attitude between the table and George. He
recoils to the corner.]
" Ellen (ezclaims) : Now, you villain, I bave you ! Stir not, or with thèse weapons
of death, l'il level you humble as the dust I trample on.
George : Foil'd, and by a woman !
Ellen: Yes, by a woman! a feeble woman:. in virtue's cause a cbild can beat
a giant ! The strengtb of heaven nerves my arm — the copfession is
mine! "
George attempts to fly, but is intercepted by the united force of the rival, but
now friendly, landlords, both of wbom he knocks down ; Ellen fires at, wounds him, and
" seizes him by the throat with one hand, the loaded pistol leveled at bis head with the
other, and backs him off H."^
The final scène is the Lodge Room — " with spectators, — soldiers, Masons with ail
the insignia of the Craft — Jury, Judge, etc. — Mr. Thorngrove in black, pale and resigned,
leaning on bis son — The Judge in centre, Clerk, etc. — Plaintive music."^
The Grand Master is in the act of pleading guilty — (it is not clear to what, or
wby, as bis speech is wholly spontaneous, and provides the only " business " of the scène,
30 far) — wben Ellen leads George in with the pistols still to bis head (presumably

she had re-loaded the one slie had fîred), the confession in her hand, and dcDonnces hîm
as the real mnrderer. George objects that the writing is no proof, when Margaret,
yfho had incidentally appeared as a hawker earlier in the pièce, déclares he]*se]f the
supposed mmrdered wife of the Grand Master, Mr. Thorngrove, and with her closing
line,
" There stands^ the only mnrderer and robber of the Lodge !"

wives, jamp for joy hand in hand in each corner— ail the Masonic emblems are arranged

The cnrtain Falls."
I ask to be forgiven if I hâve lingered too long with this glittering gem in the
diadem of English drama.
On 12th September, 1901, there was prodnced at the Shaftesbury Théâtre,
London, a farce, entitled " Arc you a Mason ?." I am told by some who saw it that
it was adapted from the German, and that it sufficed to amuse the audience.
I can say but little as to other anthors or actors of thèse plays having been
members of the Craft. Both Charles Johnson and Chetwood, as we hâve seen, claim to
be so in the dedications of their respective works ; and in Stephen Jones* " Masonic
Miscellanies," 1797, the song, '* By Masons' art the aspiring dôme," appears as *' Snng
by Brother Oates in The Gênerons Freemason, 1731." From Bro. Henry Sadler, who
bas with accustomed kindness referred tothe Lists at Grand Lodge, I leam that in
1730 a James Oates was member of London Lodges 21 and 39 ; bnt beyond this the
Lists fail to assist ns.
Of persons in actnal or conjectural association with " Harlequin Freemason,"
Charles Dibdin's name was long a household word for his naval and patriotic songs ;
John Edwin played at Covent Garden from 1779 till his death in 1790, one of the old
bibulons school, whose adventures may be read in " The Eccentricities of John Edwin,
Comedian," 1791 ; and Ralph Wewitzer had a réputation for his performance of Jews
and old men in character. He compiled " The Theatrical Pocket Book," 1814, and " The
School for Wits," 1815, and it is sad to find that " on 1 January 1825 the old actor,
Ralph Wewitzer, died in great destitution. "^
An acknowledgment is due to Bro. Thomas Francis for his kind loan of the plays
by Charles Johnson and J. P. Hart. To Bro. W. John Songhurst I am indebted for
suggesting to me the subject of this paper, and for his valuable collaboration in
preparing it.

THE HENERY HEADE MS., 1675.
BY BRO. E. L. HAWKINS.
HIS MS. is contained in a collection of miscellaneons papers and notes
on varions subjects, curions and scientific, among which maj be
nientioned, "Notes on Gunnery," " Djalling,'* " Of Organs,'* some
mathematical puzzles, varions recipes, bnilding formnlœ, and specially
at the end détails and sketches illustrating the construction of roofs.
They appear to be mostly, if not entirely, in the same handwriting,
which is very neat and legible (as i\\G fac-similé pages given herewith
will show), and the sketches are drawn with great accuracy and précision. Sandwiched
into the middle of this heterogeneons collection is a copy of the Masonic document of
which I am going to présent a transcript to the readers of A.Q.G. ; it commences
abruptly without any heading or indication of its nature on folio 136, and is continued
on one side of the paper only down to folio 156, where it ends with the signature,
" Henery Heade, 1675."
I can find nothing to indicate who and what Henery Heade was, whether he was
the owner and writer of the collection of papers or not, or with what object he transcribed
this Old Charge, but I imagine the date given (1675) to be the actual date at which the
copy was written, because at the end of the volume is a sketch described as " A framed
Roofe (of Irish oake) very antient at East Coker 1677-8 January y« 23," so presumably
the writer made his notes straight on through his book irrespective of their subjects. The
first page, which may, psrhaps, hâve borne the writer s name, bas unfortunat«ly been
eut ont. There are several différent watermarks on the paper, of which the most
fréquent is what seems to be a bugle or horn, surrounded by a curved Une like an um,
with Q A below. I sent a tracing of it to the keeper of the MSS. at the British Muséum,
who told me that it was certainly in use in 1675, though he was unable to fis its date
precisely.
The papers are contained in one folio volume, handsomely bound in calf with
gilt-edged leaves, which is now in the Library of the Inner Temple in London, having
been bought by that Society, in 1859, at M. Libri's sale of MSS. ; it had previously
belonged to the late Mr. J. 0. Halliwell-Phillips, F.R.S , whose library stamp it bears ;
it was mentioned in Cochrane's Catalogue of 1826, and hae in it the bookplate with arms
and crest of Pennell Hawkins, an ancestor of the présent writer, who was born in 1716,
and became body-surgeon to George II. and serjeant-surgeon to George III. The book
has apparently been re-bound by its présent owners, for it bas their device impressed on
the cover.
The MS. has never been printed, so far as is known, and I consider myself very
fortunate to bave been able to obtain leave from the Masters of the Bench of the Inner
Temple to print it at length, and to give the fac-similés of two of its pages which
accompany this article. It is classified by Bro. Hughan in his " Old Charges " (2nd Ed.,
1895) as XIO, because at that time its locality and contents were unknown to him, but
on the discovery that the MS. was in the Inner Temple Library, and on perusing a copy
of it made for Grand Lodge Library by Mr. Rogers, Sub-Librarian of the Inner Temple,
he designated it 04, though it is reall^ the oldest of thç C class or Plot Family, and is

probably a copy of tho "parchmenfc volnm" referred to by Dr. Plot. It is identical in
arrangement with the "William Watson" MS , and botli foUow closely the first 600
lines of "Matthew Cooke," but diverge at that point.
So far as is known as yet, the ** Henery Heade " and " William Watson " MSS
are the only ones that contain the statement that Henry VI. perused and approved the
Charges, and neither of them contains any mention of the mysterious " Naymus
Grœcus," and, eo far as I can ascertain, thèse two MSS. alone allnde to a punishment
for going ont at night unaccompanied by a witness. Great importance was attached to
the " William Watson " MS. on its discovery by both Bros. Hughan and Begemann, but
it seems to me that the " Henery Heade " MS. is even more important, since it is the
earlier of the two by twelve years.
Bro. Hughan, who has made a spécial study of thèse " Old Charges," and whose
opinion carries with it the greatest possible weight, writes : — " Although the MSS.
hâve much in common, and represent the same Family of MSS., I feel assured that the
"William Watson " was not copied from the ** Henery Heade MS.," and that probably
they were not transcribed from the same original ; for, after allowing for the vagaries
of scribes, it appears to me that the variations in the two documents are referable to
différent prototypes, both of which hâve long been missing.
" The older ScroU lacks the Coat of Arms and the motto, " In the Lord is al our
Trust," which are spécial features of the Roll of 1687.
" There are quite a number of omissions, différences and additions which prove
that the "Henery Heade MS. " is an independent version, so far as the " William Watson "
is concerned. There are several blanks in the " Henery Heade " which are not to bc
found in the " William Watson," the latter being usually complète as to ail points, e.g.^
the minimum mileage for obligatory attendance is left unwritten, and so as to the
" theif " or " theives " in one of the Charges, and so other portions of less conséquence,
such as the King in St. Alban's day being a Bagan, the last word being omitted."
After a careful comparison of the Henery Heade and William Watson MSS., I
hâve arrived at the same conclusion as Bro. Hughan, viz., that they were not directly
transcribed from the same original, though I think there can be no doubt that they are
descended from a common ancestor, but through how many intermediate steps it is now
impossible to say.
I am rather puzzled by the inconsistent spelling of the Henery Heade ; sometimes
a word is modernized, sometimes it is not, and one would hâve thought that an educated
architect, as the writer of the scrapbook would seem to bave been, could bave avoided
some of the errors into which he has fallen, but perhaps his object was to copy his
original exactly, which has been my object in presenting the foUowing transcript,
orîginally made by Mr. Rogers and carefuUy corrected by me fiom the original MS.

each page for convenience of référence :—

marvell yea not that I say ail Sciences leane only by the Science of Géométrie for
there is no Artificiall or handy Crafft that is wrought with mens hands but is wronghfc

and proportion is measure and the toole Earth and therefore every Instrum^ is Earth,

many more probàtions I would tell yo** wherefore that Géométrie is the Science that

found in thèse two stones so y' if God should take vengeance by fire y* then the
16 marble stone should not Burne and if God send vengeance by Water that then
(p. 141) the other should not Drown*d and so they Provided their Elder Brother
Jubell that he would make the two Pillars of the two stones that is to say Marbel and
Laterus and that he would write in the two Pillars ail the Sciences and Craffts that
they had there found and so he did and therefore may wee say that he was the
6 Cuninest in Sciences for he first began and performed the last and before
knowing of that vengeance that God would send whether it should be by fire
or water the Brethren knew it not by manner of Prophesie they wisht y* God would
therefore they writt their Sciences in the two Pillars of Stone and
Sume men do affirme that they writt ail the seaven Sciences in the said Stones and as
10 they had in their minde that Vengeance would come so it was that God sent it by
water for y* there came such a flood that ail the world was Drowned and ail men were
dead therein save onely Eight Persons y* waa Noah and his wife and his three
Sons and there wives of the which three sons ail the world came and their

P. 137 line 1. **meet" = mete {Obs. = measure). W.W. "mette."
„ „ 3. W.W. " yc craf fc of songs of boyes & organs trump & harpe."
„ „ 7. W.W. **y* therebeen seaven."
„ „ 8. W.W. "y« w«*^ seaven sciences lean ail by one." M.C. bas "the
whiche vii lyven (live) onle by Gemetry." Probably both the Henery
Heade & William Watson readings are variants of Matthew Gooke.
p „ 9. " A Géométrie" appears to be an error for "A Geometria" (= derived
from Geometria). It seems to me that the writer of the original was
hère explaining the dérivation of the word " Géométrie," for he adds
" that is much as to say the measure of the earth," and then gives the
source of the word " Geometria," as coming from the Greek.
M.C. bas "And Geometry." W.W. bas "A Geomitro," which Bro.
Hughan explains as standing for " Ad hoc Geomitro," but, with ail
respect, I snbmit that my explan ation above makes the whole passage
quite intelligible, -which I do not consider bis does.
" et sa <fcc." A collation of the Matthew Cooke, Henery Heade and
William Watson MSS. suggests the following restoration of the Latin
qnotation in the original text from which each is derived. " Et sic
dicitur a geo [ycw (y?)] quod est terra Latine et metron [/utérpoi/]
quod est mensura. Unde Geometria est mensura terrœ vel terrarum."
„ ,. 12. W.W. " and thus is this name."
„ „ 20. " Wherefore &c." This passage should run " wherefore I may say
that ail men live by Géométrie for ail men in the world live by the
labour of their hands."
„ „ 22. " Probations " = proofs.
P. 138 line 1. "Praise." M.C. bas " presse " ; W. W. " pfesse." Obviously "press"
is the original word.
„ „ 3. W.W. "amongst ail y« coasts in y® World of manuell Crafts."
M.C. " amonge ail y'' craftys of y'' worlde of mannes craf te.*'
„ „ 4. W.W. " this science of Geometry."
» „ 5. " mass-Storys." M.C. " in the master of stories." It is by no means
clear who it is that is meant by " the master of stories " hère and also
in P. 139 line 4. Herodotus is well-known as/* the Father of History,"
but he cannot bo the historian referred to. Dr. Begemann bas
unhesitatingly identified the "master of stories" with Petrus Comcstor,
author of "Historia Scholastica" (A.Q.C. xix. 67), a French theologian
who died in 1183 ; but Bro. Dring, who bas devoted some time to
trying to clear up the point, is of opinion that Josephus is meant
(ibïd, p, 61),
The missing words " and in Policronion ** may be supplied from
W.W. The référence is to a work named ** Polychronicon " or
General History from the beginning of the world down to the year
1342, which was written in Latin by Rannlf Higden, a monk of
Chester, who died in 1364 ; it was translated into English by John of
Trevisa in 1387, and printed by Caxton in 1482. It had great
popularity in England and a large circulation both in MS. and in
print.

"àallso . . . manton." This extraordinary jumble maj be thns
reconstracted by the aid o£ M.C. & W.W. " and also in the doctors
(l'.e., loarned aufchors) of stories that be named Beda De Imagine
Mundi and Isidore Etymologiarum andMethodiuB episcopus et martyr."
Of the writers hère referred to the Vénérable Bede is well-known;
Isidore was àrchbishop of Seville in 600, and wrote a book called
Etymologies treating of the whole circle of the sciences; and Methodius
was Bishop of Olympns and afterwards of Patara at the beginning of
the 4th century. He is described by several writers as " bishop and
martyr," as hère, but the évidence of his martyrdom is weak. He
wrote a great many works, of most of whicb only fragments remain.
He is said to hâve written a commentary on Genesis which is
probably the work hère referred to. The référence to such persons
proves that the author of the original history of which the Matthew
Cooke, Henery Heade and William Watson MSS. are transcripts was
no mean scholar.
P. 138 line 8. '* way " is obviously an error for " may," which W.W. bas.
„ „ 9. "Génisses," M.C. continues hère, "in the iiij chapter. And also aile
the docteurs aforsayde acordeth therto And sûme of hem seythe hit
more openly and playnly right as hit seithe in the bybulle Genesis."
Clearly the copyist of Henery Heade lost his place and resumed at the
wrong " Genesis."
„ „ 9. "Adam . . . downe." This passage appears hopelessly corrupt,
both in H.H. and in W.W. ; the latter reads " Adam this linely maili
soon ast y° son descended downe." M.C. has "Adam is line lynyalle
sone descendynge downe." Probably a new sentence commences with
"the Seventh âge of Adam."
„ „ 12. " the Elder son . . . father of men." This passage is very
imperfect both hère and in W.W. ; according to M.C. it shonld rnn
thus : — " the elder son Jabell was the first that ever found Géométrie
and masonry, and he made houses and is named in the Bible Pater
habitantium in tentoriis atque pastorum that is to say y^ father of men
dwelling in tents y* is dwelliog houses." The Vulgate (Gen. iv. 20)
has "Gennitque Ada Jabel, qui fuit pater habitantium in tentoriis
atque pastorum.''
„ 13. " Juball " should be " Jabell."
„ „ 14. " came . . . Ezenoch." We may correct this passage by the aid
of Matthew Cooke ; it then runs " He was Cain's mas ter mason <&
Govemor of his works when he made the city of Enoch."
„ 17. "Esram." W.W, "Ephrarae." M.C. "Effraym." No doubt"Esram"
is due to confusion between the long s and/.
P. 139 line 3. For " Pastor Pastororu " should be read " Pater Pastorum" as in M.C.
„ >, 4. See note on P. 138 line 5, : " ^v-
„ „ 5. " Plenonicon " = Polychronicon. - -
p'tition = partition.
„ „ 8. " Jabell " should be " Juball."
„ „ 9. Pitagores = (?) Pythagoras.
W.W. " & the same saith Isidore."
,, „ 10. W.W. " that he was."

„ „ 12. The word hère omitted may be supplied from M.C. & W.W., " Soothly
as the Bible &c."
„ „ 16. " Mahemah." The name in the Anthorised and Revised Versions of the
Bible is ** Naamah."
P. 140 line 1. " Another mans wife." M.C. bas "Noe's wife." This idea may bave
beeu sug^esled by ber name in the Vulgate being Noema.
„ „ 3. " as forrcign . . Intreat." M.C. " as some doctars seyn."
W.W. "as forreine doctordoe entreat."
Perhaps the long s is responsible for some becoming foreign^ but it is
hard to acconnt for the word intreat^ thongb it may be an obsolète use
of entreat in the sensé of discourse.
W.W. "thèse her brethren."
W.W. "by ail their witts."
" Provided" is probably an error for "prayed " which M.C. bas.
W.W. " performed the last end before Noahs flood."
M.C. and W.W. bave "kindly knowing," which Bro. C. C. Howard
snggests means "naturally " or "instinctively knowing."
W.W. " they wist y* God would doe one thereof & therefore."
W.W. " the sciences y* they found therein written."
Witb " every Cronicle '* a new sentence sbould begin as in M.C.
Instead of " Charges *' both M.C. & W.W. bave " Clerks."
„ „ 7. Both M.C. and W.W. refer more corectly to Genesis Chapter 10.
" Cain . . Nimrod " sbould read " Cham Noahs son begat Nimrod."
„ „ 8. "like uuto a Gyant." This seems to bave come from the LXX., in
which Nimrod is said to bave been a " giant on the eartb."
„ „ 10. Witb the aid of W.W. and the Bible (Oenesis x. 10.) we may fillin this
blank " and Erech and Accad and Calneb in the land of Sbinar."
„ „ Instead of " Built " both M.C. and W.W. hâve " began."
„ „ 13. M.C. bas " is written in policronicon and in the master of stories."
(See note on P. 138 line Ô.)
,, „ 14. W.W. " in y'' said tenth Chapter." But the H. H. scribe having quoted
ihe Chapter before as " tbe eleventh " has to omit " said."
P. 143 line 1. Before " out of the Land of Shinàr " wc may insert " and went fortb "
as in Genesis x. 11.
" in places." W.W. " in placeas." But M.C. appears to hâve the
original text " and plateas," which means " and its streets," (from tbe
Lat. platea = a wide street). Thus the margin of the A.V. (Gen.
X. 11.) Buggests " the streets of the city *' instead of " the city Robobotb."
„ „ 2. With the aid of M.C. and the Vulgate the Latin quotation may be
thus restored " de illa terra, i.e. de Sennare, egressns est Assliur et
edificavit Nineveh et plateas civitatis et Calah et Resen quoque inter
'\'' : Nineveh et Calah ; hœc est civitas magna." In the Vulgate "Sennaar "
: 1= the land of Shinar
„ „ 5. W.W. "y® charges of Masons Craft was first found."
„ „ 6. For "opened*' M.C. has " told & written." This variation would
suggest that H. H. and W.W. are not copies of M.C.
„ „ 9. M.C. " that he was in wylle to make " instead of "purposed to make
and finish."

„ „ 13. M.C. " that they coathe not welle lyae.'* "Conntry" seems to be an
error.
P. 146 line 1. We should read "to find (i.e. to sapport) themselves " as M.C.
„ „ C. " y* I shall you so." M.C. gives the true text " that I shall set you

REVIEW.
THE LODGE OF RESEARCH No. 2429, LEICKSTER.
TRANSACTIONS FOR THE YEAR 1907-8.
HIS is a very infceresting volume, and fally up to the high standard
set by its accomplished Editor, Bko. John T. Thorp, F.R.Hist.S.,
F.R.S.L., etc.
At the 78th Meeting (loth Anrnversary Festival) Iwenty-two
brethren were elected to the C.C., and the Financial Report was most
satisfactory. Bro. John Russell Frears (P. M. 2081) was Installed as
W.M., and the three officers, tho Rev. H. S. Biggs, B.A., F. W. Billson, LL.B., and
John T. Thorp, F.R.S L., happily continue as Chaplain, Treasurer and Secretary
respectively.
At the Installation Meeting, the R.W. Bro. Archdeacon Clarke, LL.D., etc.,
Prov.G.M. o£ North Connanght, read a Paper on " Old Masonic Certificates." Our
leamed Brother exhibited thirty-six Certifieates of the Eighteenth Century, and fifty oî
the following Century (ten of which were issued by Grand Lodge). The remarks
ofFered as to several of thèse rarities were of a very interesting character. Reproduc-
tions are given of the " Gillooly " Certificate, Boyle, of 1760 (?) ; the ** West" spécimen,
of 1778 (Sligo), one of the Grand Lodge of Ireland, a.d. 1786, and a fine example of a
High Knight Templar's diploma, in English and Latin, of 1789, granted at Boyle.
The first mentioned is dated, apparently, " 8th of January, 1760, and in Masonry,
6762," but since the lecture was delivered Dr. Ciarke has been reloctantly forced to con-
clude that the year should be 1768 and not 1760, which thus reduces its value very
considerably from an antiquarian stand point. The discovery of the later date was
due to the zealous Archdeacon*s researches, John Whelan, the Master who signed the
Certificate, being in the Chair of No. 338 in 1768. Dr. Clarke immediately announced
the fact, and has thus set our minds at rest. I had communicated with my dear Bro.
Dr. Chetwode Crawley thereon, who agrées with the later date, and informa me that
^^ Brian Gillooly \% entered in Dep.G.Sec. Thomas Corker's unmistakable handwriting
as admitted 13th December, 1768, and certified on same date." Tho altération from 1768
to 1760 was comparatively easy, especially as the Scribe made the A.M. Ô762 instead of
1772.
The third noted is a scarce issue of 1785 (G.L.), but the chief attraction, to my
mind, in ail the séries, is the one of 1789, devoted to the H.K.T. and signed by the E.G.M.
(i.e., Early Grand Master), of the " Grand Lodge of High Knights* Templars held in
Boyle."
The collection makes one's " mouth water," and I am glad it is in such good
hands.
The Paper by Bro. Cecil Powell (the able Historian of Bristol Freemasonry) on
" The Royal Arch Chapter of Gharity,'' is enriched with a reproduction of the original
Warrant of No. 9 Bristol, 8th December, 1769, granted by the " Modem " Grand Chapter
formed in 1767. Bro. Powell gives the By-Laws of 1785 (I présume). A fine plate
of H.R.H. the Duke of Sussex, M.W.G.M., by Bro. W. Hobday,an artist of considérable
abîlity, is also inserted. For fuU particulars I must refer my readers to the very
interesting article.

178 Transactions of the Qtiattior Coronati Lodge,
At the 79th meeting Dr. James Johnstone, P.M. (of Richmond, Snrrey), gave a
Lecture on " The History of Freemasonry," illustrated by nnmerons slides. The
synopsis proves that the lecturer covered considérable ground, "the prominent and
uncommon feature of the address being a aplendid séries of slides." Dr. Johnstone's
name is noted as the first of seven raembers elected to the Correspondence Circle of No.
2429 at the 80th Assembly of the Lodge. The meeting was in the capable management
of Bro. John T. Thorp, the secretary, whose Paper concerned some interesting Masonic
Relies ; the first being an electro of an " Antique Jewel," in the muséum of the Grand
Lodge of New York, and explained by Dr. Julius F. Sachse, the courteous librarian of
the Grand Lodge of Penna., who states that, " so far as known, it was wom from 1650
to 1577." Fortunately an illustration is appended of the décoration — the sun in full
splendeur, enclosed by compassés and segment, etc. The legend is, Deus nohis sol et
scutum, I hâve long been familiar with this design, as used in Scotland by the extinct
" Mnsselburgh Lodge." A set was in the Worcestershire, Shanklin and Plynionth
Masonic Exhibitions, 1884-6-7, nnmbered and sent by the late Bro. T. Lamb Smith, of
Birmingham. As Bro. Thorp most discreetly observes, " If the original Jewel is really
of the antiquity which is claimed for it, it will certainly prove a very valuable link
with our operative brethren of the sixteenth century."
Another curious item exhibited was a "report of a meeting of the Grand Lodge
of England, 1732" (etched by the well known John Pine, now in possession of the
" Anchor and Hope Lodge" No. 37, Bolton), in facsimile. The original is unique, and
bas been ably described by the Secretary, whose notes add greatly to the value of the
exhibit. There were also an Irish Dimit of 1796 (reproduced) and a very old Apron,
used by the Ancien t Stirling Lodge, Scotland, besides other curios.
Bro. Alfonzo Gardiner's Paper on " Symbols and Words of the Fii'st Degree "
was read by the zealous author at the 81st meeting, who well deserved the hearty vote
of thanks passed by the members. Bro. Thorp also gave an important address on *' The
Two Pillars of Solomon*s Temple," based upon the work recently issued on the Temple
by the Rev. W. Caidecott, M.R.A.S. (R.T. Society), and the illustrations inserted
are most helpful, and the concluding Paper by Bro. G. W. Bain, of Sunderland,
on "The Early Literature of Freemasonry," addressed to the Brethren at the 82nd
meeting, was most valuable, curious and accurate, so much so tliat I much regret not
being présent. A capital digest, however, of its chief points is presented to the
subscribers by the Secretary, who is always on the alert on behalf of the "Lodge of
Research." This wonderful volume of Transactions can be had by only subscribing
a croum to the " Correspondence Circle.^^ I hâve left other features unnoticed, fearing
to occupy more space.

NOTES AND QUERIES.
ASONIC Grave Stone.— In the old Militarj Cemetery at Morne Bruce,
Dominica, Leeward Islands, is a tombstone which was evidenily
erected to mark the grave of some member or members of the Masonic
fratemity. From the appearance of the stone it seems as if a brass
plate h ad been affized originally, but this bas disappeared, and the
stone itself bas been broken, no doubt in the great hurricane which
wrecked the en tire cemetery many years ago. At the upper part of
the stone on right and left are représentations of two goblets, one bearing the Masons'
Arms and the other the square and compassés, with other Masonic emblems, while
below are the following lines : —
Long Long this Stone and pointed Clay ;
Shall melt the mnsing Briton's Eyes.
Oh ! vales ; and wild woods, shall they say.
In jonder Graves some Masons Ues.
May each Freemason Good and trne :
In Britain's Isles be found :
And in Eemotest Régions too.
May love and Harmony abonnd.
And ail confess true Wisdom's Power.
Till Time and Masons are no more.
The disappearance of the plate is a matter for regret, as we bave now no means
of ascertaining any particulars concerning the deceased brother.
Roseau, Dominica. F. H. Pabker.
Henry Yeuele.— The following is an extract I bave taken from the lecture I
give when explaining the things of interest to parties who periodically visit this Church
by my invitation : —
" In the Chapel of the Holy Virgin in the Old Church, was buricd Henry
** Yevele, described by Stow in 1663, as Free-mason to Edward m.
** Richard ii. & Henry iv. — This Yevele (or Zeneley) assisted to erect the
" Tomb of Richard ii. in Westminster Abbey and constructed the monu-
" ment to Anne of Bohemia, the Queen, 1395 to 1397, and abont the same
" time was employed to prépare plans for raising the walls of Westminster
" Hall. He founded a Ghauntry in the Chapel of St. Mary in this Church
" and died in 1400 a.d."
Beyond this account I bave discovered nothing so far.
Should there bave been any tomb with inscription to this Yevele it would no
doubt hâve perished in the Great Fire of 1666, with the old St. Magnus* Church.
Our registers do not go back to 1400 a.d.

l80 Transactions of the Quatuor Ooronati Lodge.
Swaflbam Great Lodg^e. — So fall and interesting an account of tlie Constitu-
tion of a Lodge as that communicated by R.W. Bro. Hamon le Strange, is of very
great valae to students, and in going carefnlly througb the names of the Brethren
présent on the daj of Constitution, I find (il.Q.C, xx., 233) the name of Charles
Chadwick, A.M. I tbink that I may identify this Brother as the Rev. Charles
Chadwick, B.A., wbo became Master of the SheflBeld Grammar School, 1776-7. It
is stated that he was born in the Isle of Ely, and after his arrivai in SheflBeld,
and certainiy until 1797, he, in his oflBce as a clergyman, acted as Chaplain not
only to the Modems, to which it would appear he belonged, bat also to the Ancient
Lodge, No. 72, as from the Records of this Lodge it is stated " On June lOth, Bro.
Chadwick be asked to preach a sermon, and the Brethren to walk in procession to the
Church." He does not appear to hâve been either a meraber or a visiter to Lodge
No. 72 Ancients, or to Britannia, which Lodge also invited him to perform the same
ceremony. He was publicly connected with Freemasonry at the functions connected
with the foundation stone laying of the SheflBeld General Infirmary, when the three
Lodges of Freemasons, — Lodge 72, Ancients, Britannia and Royal Brnnswick, Modems,
formed an important part of a grand procession, and greatly assisted in the ceremony, —
the Rev. Mr. Chadwick actîng as their Chaplain. In Jaly, 1794, Bro. Chadwick also
preached to the Brethren of the Britannia and Royal Brunswick Lodges at the constitu-
tion of the latter. He was also présent and acted as Chaplain at the opening of the
SheflBeld General Infirmary, October 4th, 1797. He was also Vicar of Tinsley, a sraall
village about four miles from SheflBeld, and there he is buried. He appears to hâve had
one son, who acted as second master at the Sheffield Grammar School, and who pre-
deceased him. Many stories about him are still extant. He was for many years
Président of the SheflBeld Library, and at his death his comparatively large library, of
over 1,000 volumes, was disposed of. He was highly esteemed, and a silver cup, valued
at 100 guineas, was presented to him by his old scholars and inhabitants of this town.
He died in 1809, but there is no référence to his connection with Freemasonry in the
obituary notices in the papers of that time.

Sharri Tephlia.— An organization, whose fuU oflBcial title was '* The Grand
Sharri Tephlia of the Grand Inner Te in pie/' appears to hâve been in existence in
London in the year 1900. Its chief oflBcer was styled " Right Worshipful Grand
Chaplain," and he ruled by the aid of a Grand Council. A ritual was printed, with
General and Provincial Régulations, and the " Officiai Organ " refers to a new Temple
in course of érection. From this paper we also learn that a Provincial Grand Temple
of the Order was in contemplation at Birmingham, but in ail probability nothing definite
was done in this direction. According to an article in the Croydon Guardian (quoted
by the Freemason, July llth, 1903), the Temple, which was to be erectcd as the head-
quarters in London, was partly built in Beulah Road East, Thornton Heath. It was to
cost £10,000, and the plans included a hall capable of seating about 250 people. The
work seems to hâve been stopped for want of funds, and the unfinished building was

semi-religious kind," and was stated to be of American origin. SuflBcient time bas not

Notes and Quertes* 181
Cromwell and Freemasons— Irish Popular Belief.— " The Popuiar Songs
of Ireland," coUected bj Thomas Croffcon Croker, was first published in 1839, but 1
give the foUowing quotations from the édition in "Morley's Universal Library "
(Rontledge), 1886.
0 ! Blarney Castlb, My Darlinq.
Verse 2,
Bad cess^ to that robber, Old Cromwell, and to ail his long battering
train,
Who roUed over hère like a porpoise, in two or three hookers,^ from
Spain !
And becanse that he was a Freemason, he mouuted a battering-ram,
And he loaded it up of dumb-powder, which in at its month he did
cram.
Verse 6.
The old Castle, it trembled ail over, as yon'd see a horse do in July,
When jusfc near the tail in his crapper, he's teased by a pestering fly.
Black Cromwell, he made a dark signal, for in the black art he was
deep;
So, thongh the eyes in the people stood open, they found themselves
ail fast asleep.
Crofton Croker remarks that the song originally appeared in the South Cork
Reporter newspaper, about April, 1827, nnder another title. Among other observations
he gives this explanation : — " Upon the allusion made to Oliver Cromwell in the second
and sixth verses, it is necessary to remark that, accordiog to the popular belief of the
Irish peasant, Cromwell was endowed with supernatural powers; and that the fratemity
of Freemasons, which was said to be founded by him, were supposed, from the secrecy
and cérémonies observée! by them, to be dabblers in the black art. Among the pièces
of magical skill that Cromwell is asserted to hâve acquired, was the knowledge of a
powder for throwing balls from cannon withoat makiôg any report, and hence termed
* dumb-powder,* in distinction to gun-powder. It is also tradifcionally asserted that a
spell, of which Cromwell was master, could make his opponents become powerless as
statues.*'
Croker*s final comment is as follows : — " In a curions French work, entitled
* L'Ordre des Francs-Maçons Trahi,' printed at Amsterdam in 1754, it is stated that
* Cromwell was the first who gave the name of the Order of Freemasons. Willing to
reform mankind, and exterminate princes and kings, he proposed to his party the
re- establishment of the Temple of Solomon.' Whether this account be true or false,
the coincidence between it and the tradition current in Ireland is remarkable."

11. Meaning and Dérivation of the word " Cowan."
I HESE Dotes on the position of the Freeman and the Cowan in the old
Trade Incorporations of Scotland hâve been somewhat loosely thrown
together for the purpose of illnstrating some points of interest npon
which fuller light is désirable. Thej hâve been made in the course of
research into the early history of Lodge Canongate Kiiwinning, moie
especially into its connection with the Craft Incorporation. of the
Wrights, Coopers and Masons of the Canongate, of which body the
Lodge was a direct and immédiate descendant.
In the days of James I. (1424) a Statu te was passed empowering handicraftsmen,
in their différent branches, to elect a preses, who was called a " Deakonor Kirkmaster."
The words of the Act ara as folio w : — " That in ilke Towne of the Reaime, of ilk sindrie
" Craft used therein, be chosen a wise man of that Craft and be the layff of that Craft,
*^ and be consent of the offîciar of the towne, the qahilk sali be halden Dekyn or
"Maisterman owre the layff, for the tyme till governe, and assay ail werkis that beis
'* made before the Craftesmen of that Craft, swa that the Kingis lièges be nocht
" defraudyt and scathyt in tyme to cum, as thai hâve bene in tyme bygane through
** untrew men of Craftes." Canongate was a Bargh or Town and accordingly had trade
incorporations similar to those in other towns.
Thèse Trade Incorporations were formed from a désire for union, self -protection,
and self-government among the members. They also, in pre-reformation times, had
religions duties strictly to fui fil and were frequently dedicated to a patron saint. The
members in some were bound to pay, in addition to other contributions, the " ouklie
[weekly] penny" for the maintenance of the craft's altar, and sastenance of the priest
attached thereto. Their charter of incorporation usually consisted in a ** Seal of Cause "
{dgillum ad causas), granted by the Town Council, on the réquisition of the body ; and
in the earlier charters there were strict rules laid down for the observance by the
Mçmbers of their religions duties. It mav be remarked further that it does not appear

that the King*s Master of Work had any jurisdiction whatever over thèse Crafts beyond
charge of any work for his Majesty ; and that it is exceedingly doubtfal if the Warden
General for Scotland had at any time any concern with the Incorporations in Royal
Barghs, or with the trades in gênerai. There were many Barghs in Scotland which
were Burghs of Regality or Barghs of Barony, and of which the corporate privilèges
were in a sensé independent of the King, and from which any jurisdiction of the Warden
General waa still more remote.
It may be recalled that up till about 50 years ago the Bnrgh of Canongate and
the Bnrgh of Edinburgh were two separate and distinct towns. Each community had
separate administration and officiais, jast as Edinburgh and Leith are still separate and
distinct though topographically united. The Incorporated Crafts of each, plying their
trades within each Bnrgh, were, up till modem times, exceedingly jealous of their
privilèges and prone to resent any invasion of qualified workmen from one adjacent
Burgh into the other. The Bnrgh of Canongate was by far the larger in extent, and its
" liberty," or territory, embraced a considérable section of the new town of Edinburgh
and most of what is now Leith.
So much explanation is necessary to enable one to understand some of the motives
which evidently actaated the raembers of the Craft Incorporation in Canongate in 1677,
in putting themselves in direct relation with MotherKilwinning. It was in their option,
had they so chosen, to proceed with and develop spéculative work, and to admit non-
tradesmen to the privilèges of their Craft with snch cérémonial, secrets and moral
lectures illustrated by the tools of the Craft as were usual. Graduai ly, in that case, the
Lodge as a spéculative body would hâve grown, while, in course of time, as commerce
broke down trade privilèges and monopolies, the Craft Incorporation would hâve shrunk
into a mère benefit society. This is what actually happened with the Lodge of
Edinburgh. As a purely spéculative Lodge, apart from and independent of the trade
or working Craft (i.e., apart from the Mary*s Chapel Incorporation, which still exists as
a Trade Benefit Society), that Lodge did not exist till the eighteenth century was well
begun. But long before tbat the Craft in Edinburgh admitted non-tradesmen as
members. So also in the Canongate, of which the following Minute is évidence : —

It cannot be too clearly kept in view that the early Scottish Lodges were not
spéculative Lodges but trade societies, to which, for feudal or personal reasons, honorary
members, such as John Paterson above, were frequently admitted. Apart from trade
business, and settlement of trade questions or disputes, with a large amount of cou-
viviality, there was nothing transaçted,

The tiodge of Canongate, however, had a différent expérience, and entered npon
its career as a purely spéculative Lodge, several décades earlier than its sister in
Edinbnrgh. It so happened tbat a nnmber of tbe members of tbe Graft organization in
Canongate were west country men. Tbey desired to engage in spéculative Masonry
separately from tbe Trade Craft. Had they siraply elected oflBce-bearers, held separate
meetings and kept distinct minutes, no question would bave arisen. Tbeir existence as
a spéculative Lodge would bave de facto been recognized. But in tbese days feudal
notions still influeuced procédure. A document of some sort from somebody was tbougbt
essential to constitute thom into a definite body. Tbey must bave a. warrant or cbarter
just in tbe same way tbat tbe owner of a pièce of land did not feel secure till be got a
cbarter from some superior. To wbom sbould tbey apply ? Not to Edinburgb, for tbe
Mary*8 Cbapel Craft Incorporation of tbe Wrigbts and Masons there was tbeir keen
rival in trade and on a level witb tbem, not baving any bigber autbority or jurisdiction,
besides tbere was not tbere, as yet, any separate spéculative Lodge in existence ; not to
Stirling, Aberdeen or Glasgow, but to tbe traditional bome of Masonry, at Kilwinning,
witb wbich district some of tbem already bad personal connection.
Several of tbose wbo applied from Canongate to Kilwinning in 1677 for récogni-
tion of tbeir rigbt to admit Freemasons bave recently been traced back and identified
in tbe books of tbe Incorporation of Wrigbts, Coopers and Masons, &c., of tbe Burgb of
Canongate.
Tbe books tbemselves, moreover, on furtbtr examination, bave been found to
contain mucb interesting material. Tbey are tbree in number.
The first is a stout leather-bound volume with tbree iron clasps and bands and
tbree locks. Tt bears tbe inscription inside, " Tbis Buik is ordinit for tbe Weill of tbe
** Craft and tbeir successoris 1629," and a further inscription, " wisbingtbe evil willaers
** of tbe Craft or wrongeris of tbis buik in ony poynte any evill success in ail tbeir
" bussines."
It contains, in order, tbe " Ri tuai " of élection, a préface or exhortation, tbe
prayer at tbe opening of tbe meeting, tbe Freeman*s oath, a table of tbe acts of Craft,
tbe minutes of admissions, and élections of office bearers, 1630-1638 ; tbe Solemn League
and Covenant, 1638; tbe names of tbe Deacons and tbe admissions from 1585 to 1638,
and tbe gênerai minutes of proceedings.
Tbe second volume of minutes, 16tb February, 1630, to 2nd May, 1690, is leatber
bound and seoured by a- leatber thong. Inside thecover is a sentence, written evidently
by a pbilosophical member in an idle moment, " Money maks men gUad and William
John AUan," and again be writes, " A god h and of vrit is verey comendabl
John Allan."
The title page states tbat "Tbis Minute Buik perteins to tbe wrichteis and
couperis of tbe Cannogaite." Tbe book contains tbe names of tbe Freemen from 1585,
witb tbe Deacons, wbom they entered under, tbe names of tbe " freemen of tbe nortb
" syde of tbe brig of Leith wtin tbe liberty," tbe acts of Craft, tbe préface and prayer,
" The Aythe of ane Frieman," and minutes, 1630 to 1690.
Tbe thirà volume is similar to tbe second, and contains minutes from 1670 to
1750, witb tbe Deacons* names, entries and acts. It bears at tbe beginning tbe text,
** Timor domini initium sapientiae est." Mucb of ail tbe books, especially in tbe earlier
years is written in tbe antique running caligrapby wbich, even to an expert, is some-
times by no means easy to decipher.

minutes illnstrating the above and some other incidental points : —

Not only did the trade o^casionally meet in the Chnrch, bat they had sittings in
the Parish Chnrches within their jurisdîction. Thus, on 20th December, 1C42, Stent
was assessed on the means and ability of the brethren in North Leith for defi^aying
the charges '* deburset in the bigging and repairing of a seat within ye kirk of northe
" leithe & for * the perfecting thereof .' " The total cost appears to hâve been about
20 merks.
As the obligation taken from the intrant is almost the first point of inquiry and
interest, we quote it in full : —

The ofiScers of the Corporation were nnmerons, but ail Corporations were nofc
alike, some had more, some fewer. We hâve not been able to find anything to justify
Bro. Haghan's suggestion that the ** eldest entered apprentice " had the duty of
presiding at meetings of the Apprentices. He states that " this custom althongh
obsolète is nevertheless, I fancy, récent, as the first mention of it hitherto discovered
dates from 1721." The practice of apprentices haviog separate meetings may be true
as regards Lodges, but seems apocryphal as regards Incorporations. At Haughfoof, he
says, we find a "youngest entered apprentice.** " He is occasionally called * Officer,'
" whence we may conclude that his duty was to tyle the Lodge, the * Officer ' being
** of ten mentioned elsewhere and always in such a way as to lead to the conclusion that
"he was équivalent to onrTyler."
There was no tyler in the masonic sensé in the old Trade Incorporations. The
Officer was the factotum who went messages for the Deacon, called meetings and so on,
just like the Beadle of the Kirk Session. A spécial appointment was usually made, but
if the Craft chose they could compel the latest intrant to act or to pay for a substitute.
There hâve been instances of spéculative Lodges having both an Officer and a Tyler.
The craft was divided into several ranks or divisions. There were several
classes of members. The distinctions thus made appear hitherto to hâve been only
partialLy understood, and the light thrown upon them by the Minutes before us is both
interesting and impartant. The building trade permits of specialization— indeed,
good workmanship almost demands it,— and the classification in olden times is still to a
large extent the classification adopted by the division of labour of the présent day.
In respect of the work itself there were the quarrier, the waller or rough mason,
the hewer, and the builder, and any workman might dévote himself to one or other of
thèse as divisions of the trade of construction in stone. Theoretically it was possible to
hâve a guild or f raternity for each, but practically the quarrier and rough mason were
looked upon as of the labouring class, while the builder and especially the hewer were
looked upon as the skilled artisans, and in more intimate relation to the designer or
architect, whose sphère they frequently trenched upon and occupied.
The hewer and builder were both masons par excellence^ though the hewer was
spécial ly the freemason " lathomos vocatos ffre maceons " in contrast to " lathomos
vocatos ligiers " (1396 vide Bro. Rylands in Masonic Magazine, 1882). The English
statute of 1459, ii. Henry viii., G. xxii., shews that the rough mason or waller or builder
with unhewn stone and without lime, i.e., the Scottish cowan, was a lower class trades-
man according to the wages then fixed. This is borne ont by the English statutes
7 Henry viii. C.v. 1515, and 2 and 3 Ed. vi. 1548.
See also the Westmorland notes of Bro. Conder, A.Q,G., x., 32. To this day
the hewing mason and the building mason get différent wages.
For further illustrations of the différent classes of workmen we may refer to
(1) the English Calendar of Documents relating to Scotland, A.Q C. vu., p. 137, which
quotes a record in 1508 in regard to 5 freemasons, 20 rough masons and 25 labourers
employed by Sir William Conyers, Oaptain of the Town of Berwick on Tweed, for the
repair and bailding of the Town and Castle.
(2) Rule 13 of the Alnwick Lodge, A.Q.G. xiv. 8. :—
" Thatt noe Rough Layers or any other thatt has not served theîr time
" or been admitted masons shall work within the Lodge any work of
" mason ry whatsoever (except under a Mastr).''

196 Transactions of the Quatuor Goronati Lodge,
(3) Leicestershire Masonry by Bro. Conder, A.Q.G. xiy., 129 : —
" Besides thèse Masons workîng ai the Bridges and Gild Hall there were
" others known as Marators or wall builders. They are accounted for
" when workÎDg on the garden wall behind the Gild Hall, their wages
" were SJd per day."
(4) Mr. Tingey's notes on the craft Gailds of Norwicb, A.Q.G, xv., 199, and specially
the foUowing : —
" In the autamn of 1512 the rongh masons complained of persons
" apprenticed for 7 years redeeming their bonds at 4 years and even
** less, and others not apprenticed at ail. It was therefore decreed that
" no one should work as a rough mason but such as had fnlly served his
" apprenticeship or else be approved by the mayor and warden of the
*' craft ; also that no one shonld take it upon him to do any task work
*' within the city but such as were sworn citizens."
The skilled and privileged craft as a body was conrentionally divided into
members as foUows : —
1. Honorary, or non trading, afterwards the dominating feature leading to
spéculative freemasonry.
2. Freemen of the craft in full membership and with full privilèges of trading
and employment.
3. Servants or operative and skilled employées, permanently retained by certain
freemen as employées.
4. Journeymen, free of the craft, operatives duly skilled and open for employ-
ment day by day, but travelling from one mas ter to another and not in
business for themselves.
ô. Apprentices.
6» Cowans or cowaners, z.e., freemen or journeymen restricted to one class of
work.
It must be kept clearly in view that in England, as appears from the
statu tes of Henry and Edward already referred to, the freeman of the craft, whether in
full standing or only potentially so as a joumeyman or apprentice, was of a différent
and higher class than even a master rough mason or master cowan : a lad might be
apprenticed to a cowan for that class of work as well as to a mason. Only the latter
had a craft guild or incorporation. The former being nearer the sphère of unskilled
labour, like the carter or scavenger, did not require a guild to protect privilèges, as he
had few or noue to protect.
The remainder of our notes will deal with the position of the cowan, an
almost purely Scottish term to which is almost invariably now given an entirely
erroneous meaning. The word in ordinary usage bas lost ail its original signification.
It is provided by the Shaw Statutes : —
" The Statutes and Ordinances to be observed be ail the maister maîssonis
" within this reaime of date xxviir. day December the zeir of God ImVo
" four seoir auchtene zeirs."
" 15. Item. That na maister or fallow of craft ressave ony cowains to
" wirk in his socîetie or cnmpanye nor send nane of his servands to wirk
** with cowanis under the pane of twentic pounds sae oft as ony person
" offendis heirintill."

Freeman onâ Cowan. 197
ïn 1707 in lis ordinance against tbe employment of cowans, the Lodge of
Kilwinning described a cowan as a Mason *' without the word *' — a member of the craft
withoat full privilèges. But tbe employment of cowans by Master Masons, for any kind
of work, when no regnlar craftsmen could be foand within fifteen miles, was allowed by
the Lodge of Kilwinning in the early part of last centnry. The employment of
"Kowans" was probibited in 1600 by tbe Glasgow Incorporation of Masons, but a
minate of the same Court, in February, 1623, contains the record of a person booked
and received as a cowan being autborised to work stone and morfcar, and to " build
" mortar walls, but not above an ell in beight and without power to work or lay hewn
" work, nor to build with sand and lime." The records of the Lodge of Haddington
(1697) shew that apprentices indentured to Lodges were taken bound " not to work with
" nor in company nor fellowship of any Cown at any manner of building nor mason
" work."
Cowans were regular recognized members of craft. There was no prohibition
against their admission as being qualified for their particular work. It was a late
and mistaken idea to use the word in the ritual of Spéculative freemasonry, when
it sprang up, as a term of opprobrium, and to class cowans with eavesdroppers, or to
particularize them as uninitiated persons who might abtempt to obtain admission to the
Lodge itself in contradistinction to the eavesdropper, who was merely a clandestine
listener.
What in the first place was the Cowan or Cowaner ? This is abundantly plain
from the records available. The earliest minute in possession of the Lodge of Edin-
burgh (Mary's Ohapel), as is so well known, records its deliverance on a breach of the
statu te against the employment of Cowans : —
" Ultimo Julij 1599 The qlk day George Patoun maissoun grenttit &
*' confessit that he had offendit agane the dekin & mrs for placeing of any
" cowane to wirk at ane chymnay heid for tua dayis and ane half day for
'* the wlk offenss he submittit himself in the dekin & mrs guds willis qt
" unlaw thay pleass to lay to bis charge, and thay having respect to the
*' said Georges humill submissioun & of bis estait, thay remittit him the
** said offenss, Providing alwayis that gif ather he (or) ony other brother
" committ the lyke offenss heireftr that the law sali stryke vpoun thame
** Indiscreta wtout exceptioun of psonis this was done in pns of Paull
** Maissoun dekin Thoas Weir warden, Thoas Watt Johne Broun ïïenrie
" Tailzefeir the said George Payoun & Adame Walkar ITa est Adamus
'* Gibsone norius Paull Maissoun dekin " (the Wardens mark is also
appended).
Though Bro. Murray Lyon states that the offence of employing uninitiated
craftsmen seems occasionally to bave formed the subject of complaint to the Lodge, he
points ont that a hundred years had nearly elapsed before the epithet " Cowan " again
occurs in the Edinburgh records. Under date December 27th, 1693, he finds : — " It is
" also condesended that if aney Master imploy a Couan or Couans he shall pay tuelue
" pound scotts for each breach of this our actt to the warden : for the use of the poor."
The pen appears, Bro. Murray Lyon adds, in correction to hâve been drawn through
the last clause of this minute, as if the ultimate destination of such fioes had been
changed. That the " pious uses" to which Shaw in bis Statutes directs Lodge fines to
be applied referred less to acts of piety in the strictest sensé than to almsgiving,
appears from subséquent minutes, where considération for its own poor is shown in the

devoting of a portion of its funds to theîr relief — a virtue which still more or less
characterizes the Lodges of the présent day.
In the Statistical Account of Scotland bj Sir John Sinclair, Part XIX. ; Parish
of Halkirk, Caithness, by the Rev. John Cameron, Minister, pnblished in 1797, in
speaking of the population of 3180 in the Parish, he says, *' Of this number there are
380 bachelors, maideus 400, widowers 40, widows 89, menservants 308, womenservants
321, tradesmen such as tailors, weavers, shoe or brogue makers, sraiths, wrights, coopéra,
cowans 73," and the note is added
" Coîcans, masons who build dry stone dikes or walls."
In the account of the Parish of Morven, published in 1794; Presbytery of Mull,
Connty of Argyle, by the Rev. Norman McLeod, we find *' a day labourer earns 1/- per
day, taylors are paid by the job from which they earn from 1/6 to 2/- per day exclusive
of maintenance, a boat carpenter, joiner, cowan (or builder of stone without mortar)
get 1/- at the minimum and good maintenance, a shepherd has from £7 to £10 per
annum, besides maintenance and shoes, weavers are paid by the measure and according
to quality of stuff." Cowanor was the term used in the same sensé in the Lothians.

Ifc is worib noting that there are separate entries of " servants " to the freemen for
the period of this minute book, at the end of it. Thus : —
17 Sept. 1669 — And sicklyk John Cowan Mason is bookit servand to
William Mason Meson barges & frieman of Cannogait and he
hes satisfiet and Moîr boxmr. conforme to the order.
9 May 1677 — Thomas Gib maisson is booked servant to John Hamilton
& payed his booking money.
26 April 1677 — James McLean booked servant to Andrew Syme.
One other minute as to a case against a cowan deserves quotation.
Cannogait the 3 day of July 1691 years.

cowens as is cleir by his act of admissione.
This was under Thomas Kinloch, Deacon, and Hector Ayttonne, Bozmaster, and
refers to some work which evidently James Watson, the Laird of Saughton, was having
executed.
Bro. Gould, in dealing with the Cowan, gives as an instance : — " James Bitchie
** was accused of feeing a cowan . . . . it is stated in his faveur that * he was
" entered loith a Lodge, and had a discharge of a Master in Paisley.' " ^ This took place
in Glasgow, 1<)22. He proceeds : " Kilwinning, 20th December, 1725. Two of its
** brethren were *discharged from entering the societie of honest men {cf. with the
" E. A.Ob.) belonging to the Lodge of Kilwinning, and also discharge every frieman to give
" no strocke of worke under the penaltie of £20 Scots until they be convinces of their
" cryme.' If nofc actually called cowans they were at least in exactly the same position.
" This Lodge in 1705 defined a cowan as a * mason without the word,' but the occurrence
" above noted at Glasgow shows that a non-affiliated mason, having the word, was also
" called a cowan. At Edinburgh, fchose who had lawfully served their apprenticeship
" were prohibited from obtaiuing work, or from employing other apprentices or servants
" until they had taken up both the freedom of the Lodge and that of the burgh, which
" latter was granted by the Incorporation. Whether called cowan or not, it is évident
" they were treated as such."
It is abundantly évident from thèse extracts that this word cowan, or cowaner,
likemost of the operative terms in raasonry, is of Scottish origin. Scotland is naturally
a land of stone building, and it need not be a matter of surprise that the employment of
cowans was more fréquent in the Burgh of Canongate than the Burgh of Edinburgh.
The latter was a walled city. The former was a suburban communifcy. The latter
delighted in closely huddled together houses and tenements. The former was a wide
area of houses with gardens and cultivated ground attached. It was evidently in the

former that tbe drjsfcone djker and rongh stone mason wonld be most in demand. The
earliest use of fche word cowan ia Eaglish misonry, operative or specalative, appears to
be in the Second Edition, 1738, of the Book of Coustitations. It is possible that the
équivalent in the MS. Constitutions or elsewhere was lajer or lowen, but this line of
enquiry has not been pursued.
Bro. Gould is wrong in saying that a non-affiliated Mason having the word was
called a cowan. He clearly misundorstands the Glasgow entrj, which simply means, as
is so évident fi'om the Canongate Minutes, that the cowan was entered as a cowan. The
distinction he draws between the freedom of the Lodge and the freedom of the Burgli is
also by no means accurate. The freedom of tbe ti'ade, te , membership of one of the
Incorporated Crafts was itself freedom of the Burgh in early days.
Brother Speth (A.Q.G. i., 145,) is also in error. Cowans were not, as he states,
irregalar Masons. He says:— " It has been generally supposed that the term applied
only to those undertaking Mason's work without having been regalarly apprenticed to a
Mastor Mason. I think its meaning may be widened to include apprentices regalarly
bonnd, but who had never been booked or entered, as also those who had been duly
entered, but failed to get themselves passed ; those who, being passed, had removed to
another district and omitted to join the local Lodge ; those who had been expelled the
Lodge, and, in fact, every Mason guïlty of any irregularity whatever." If he had had
the old minutes of the Canongate Craft before him, it is quite certain he would hâve
been compelled to take a différent view.
It may be added that in many Lodges in Scotland it is impossible to say definitely
when they lost theîr character as mainly or entirely operative and took on that of a
spéculative society. Indeed, in the North, there are Lodges which, though spéculative,
still restrict their membership to actual operatives. Even whero this was or is not
doue, the cowan or rongh builder was gradually recognized as entitled to become a
member of a Craft Lodge. We may instance the Stonehaven Lodge which during the
eighteenth century was a trade corporation in form, but admitted the spéculative
élément. Quoting from its minutes we find a cowan or waller (who as an initîaie signs
the minute) admitted at the same fee as a Mason, other persons paying a higher fee.
Stonehaven Lodge, 4th September, 1797.
In présence of the Master Wardens and brethren assembled — John
Murray, stonedyker at Invercarron upon his own pétition and proper
recommendation was regularly entered apprentice and paid into the funds
the sum of seventeen shillings and sixpence sterling two shillings and
ninepence as Grand Lodge dues with Clerk and Officers dues. Paid lOd
for 1 Ib candies and one shilling to the officer for this and the former
meeting.

Having dealt with the status of the Cowan, it may not be ont of place to deal
with the dérivation of the word regarding whicb some very absurd conjectures hâve
been made. Some of thèse are so very ridiculous that one would apologize for
mentioning them were it not that they hâve been gravely quoted, with respect at least,
if not appi'oval, by more than one Masonic historian, evidently in ignorance of the
history and position of the cowan and without knowledge of Scots or Scotland.

1. The fi rst of thèse spurious dérivations is from the Greek verb oicovo), I listén.
As the ordinary Scotsman does not and never did speak Greek, and the cowan was
neither an eavesdropper, nor a listener, but a simple tradesman, we need say no more
about this fanciful suggestion.
2. The second dérivation, quoted with some approval bj Bro. Murray Lyon, is
from the Greek again, kvo»/, a dog. Evidently with a lingering notion that cowan bas
in some way a Gaelic connection, he says, " It is worthy of notice that eu is the Gaelic
" Word for dog. May the epithet, as one of oontempt towards Craftsmen * without the
" Word ' not hâve been derived from the Celtic word, eu Y A Grael would so express
" himself by the term, a choin, * You dog.* And may it not be in this sensé that we ftnd
" it employed in Rob Roy by the great novelist, who, in the dispute between the Eaillie
" and Major Galbraith in the claohan of Aberfoyle, makes the Highlander, whose broad-
" sword had in a préviens brawl the same night been opposed by Nicol Jarvie's ' red-
" het culter,' speak thus superciliously of the Duke of Argyle : * She*ll speak her mind
" and fear naebody — she doesna value a Cawmil mair as a cowan, and ye may tell
** MacCallum More that Allan Iverach said sae.' Rob Roy was written in 1817, — Sir
" Walter Scott was made in the Lodge St. David, Edinburgh, March 2, 1801, and to his
" acquaintance with Masonic technicalities his use of Cowan as an epithet of contempt
" may be ascribed." Unfortunately for this theory, up till a comparatively late date in
spéculative Masonry cowan was not a term of contempt at ail, but merely an operative
term applicable to an excluded class. The phrase used in Rob Roy has been misunder-
stood. The martial Highlander was expressing his disdain for the Campbells and for
tradesmen, and he is made to use the appropriate English word cowan (meaning just a
poor dyker), which was archaic enough for the novelist's purpose and had a Gaelic
ancestry, to stand for trade.
3. A third suggestion is that the " chouans " of the French Révolution were the
source whence " Cowan " is derived. The epithet was applied to the " Insurgent
Bretons," chiefly, as is supposed, from the circumstances of their movements being
generally made, like those of owls, in the night. Chouan w^as the screech owl, the
nickname of Jean Cottereau, the original leader of the party of insurgent Royalists of
Brittany and the West of France, consisting almost entirely of peasantry who rose in
1792 against the French Republic, and carried on a guérilla warfare of great bittemess.
They were not repressed till 1800, and even after that occasional insurrections occurred
down to the first years of the reign of Louis Philippe, 1830-48. Old French choue, a
daw, our word chough. The use of the word by Incorporations long before the French
Révolution, cou pied with the fact that formerly the craft held their meetings in broad
daylight, demolishes that theory.
4. Still a fourth dérivation has been proposed by Bro. C. N. McTntyre North,
viz., that Cowan may be derived from Comh hliann (pronounced Kovhann) implying
one who is bonded in some way or another. But there was no spécial binding in
regard to cowans, and nothing of this sort was ever such a feature of the classas to give
a narae to it. The suggestion has no apparent ground or reason and nothing whatever
can be adduced in its support.
For similar reasons we dismiss the idea of any connection, as has been suggested,
with : —
5. Suedo Gothic Kujon, a silly fellow. Homtnem ïmhellem et cujus capitt omnes
tuto illudunt Kujon appeîare moris est.

6. French coyon, a coward, our cullion, a scoundrel or base fellow, as in Shakes-
peare, Henry v., m., ii., 22, " Up to the breach you dogs ! avaunt'yoa callions."
7. Italian Coglione^ a fool, or a person deserving the utmost personal contempt.
The truth is that the word is an exact parallel in use and an antithesis in
meaning to "square." Square is an adjective, verb and Doun, and the person who
makes a thing square can be called a squarer. Cowan raeans round or hollow as an
adjective, a hollow or something hollow as a noun, and a cowaner is the hollow builder
or the man who uses round unsquared stones for building parposes, whether walls or
buts. In the west of Scotland the word bas received a collatéral meaning coUoquially
in being applied to large hollow fishing boats. Thus : — " When the Earl (Argyll) came
" to Allangreg in this critical juncture he resolved to man ont four prizes he had got to
** sea and thirty cowans or fisher boats " <fcc. (Woodrow's Hist. ii. 535.)
I bave Prof essor Mackinnon's authority for saying that ** The word caban, later
" cabhan, is a well established word in Gaelic literature with the meaning hollow,
"crevice, &c. Tn dialect the sound easily becomes cobhan, co*an, the first a being
"short. In Gaelic *air,' like the English * er,* indicates a personal agent, so that
*' cowaner is thus a very natoral phrase for a hollow builder or drystone diker." In
Welsh the word takes the form of cwm, a combe or dingle. There are several places in
Dumfriesshire and Galloway called cowan, caven and cavens. In Ireland there is
Connty Cavan. The original stem is Ku^ to contain, whence come the Latin cavea,
Greek kvuv, to s well, and the English cave, Oam referring to a curved wheel, Camher a
curved surface, cameo, caméra, and a whole host of words relating to curvature or
hollowness.
In connection with this enquiry it might be interesting to trace the origin and
locus of the word Cowan as a surname, but this bas not been taken up.

The W.M. said : " M.W. Grand Master, with profound respect the Quatuor
Goronati Lodge desires to welcome yoa and to express to your Royal Highness the deep
sensé of obligation at the high honour conferred in being présent this evening to assist
in according hearty greetings of goodwill to those distinguished Brethren from many
distant lands who came hère to take part in the Pan- Anglican Gonference. Thememory
of this gracions récognition of those Brethren and of this Lodge will be long treasured
in oar hearts, and will forge an additional link in that golden chain which binds Masons
in ail parts of the world. On behalf of the Lodge and the Visitors, I beg most
respectf uUy to express their welcome."
The M.W. Grand Master, replying, said : " Worshipf al Master and Brethren, I
hâve corne hère this day and hâve most gladly accepted the invitation to assist the Lodge
and to prove to the members how much I appreciate the occasion on which we hâve met.
We are hère to give the right hand of fellowship to Brethren from far over the seas :
Brethren united to us doubly — in the Ghurch and the Graft. As Grand Master of
England, it aft'ords me tho greatest pleasure to be présent on an occassion which will ever
live in the annals of this Lodge. We appreciate most f ally those who come from distant
lands and are united to us in longue and in affection, and we most warmly welcome them
hère amongst us, and assure them that we look upon them as those who maintain the
great principles which govern Preemasonry, and we trust they will ever look with
pleasure and affection on the Mother Lodge in England. As Grand Master of England,
and in the name of ail the Grand Officers, I assure them of the goodwill and of the
constant interest we take in those Grand Lodges in the farther parts of His Majesty's
dominions and in other parts of the world, and we are assured they will promote, as we
are trying to promote, the great principles of our Craft."
At the request of H.E..H. the Grand Master, the Bishops were then presented
to him by Bro. Frank Richardson, G.D.C., and were cordially greeted.
The W. Master then, addressing the Brethren, said : " After the very charming
expressions used by H.R.H. in addressing the distinguished Brethren présent, and in
according them a hearty welcome on behalf of the Grand Lodge, the Grand Officers and
the Masons of England, there remains but very little Ican say to supplément those kind
and gracions remarks. I wouid call attention to the Quatuor Goronati Lodge as having a
peculiar claira to welcome those distinguished Brethren who hâve come from across the
seas. The Quatuor Goronati Lodge, which numbers some 3,500 members, was founded
about a quarter of a century ago with a particular object, to encourage Masonic research
and archeeology amongst the Fraternity in ail parts of the world. Enrolled amongst

îfcs members are men of distinction, ability, energy and enterprise in ail ranks of Societj,
and in ail parts of the world, who by their upright conduct are following the best tradi-
tions of Freemasonry, and they hâve done much for the benefit of the Craf t, and deserve
well of their conntry. The Transactions of our Lodge, which are liberally illustrated
and contain a report of the discussions and the papers read, find their way into the
bands of Brethren in ail parts of the world, and for m a happy link between those who
are working in distant parts and those who are working for Masocry at home. This
large body of Masons, scattered throughout the globe, hold allegiance to every recog-
nised Grand Lodge in the world, and therefore we welcome them as united in the
Correspondence Circle — Masonry universal. It is a happy coincidence that w^e hâve
sach a gathering of the Hierarchy and Church Dignitaries, to whom we feel gratitude
is due for having done so much to promote the best interests of Freemasonry. They
openly acknowledge Freemasonry. They also encourage those who belong to their
respective Lodges to act up to the principles of the Craf t. We hâve hère distinguished
Bishops from many parts of the world. I will read ont the names of the distinguished
Bishops, and ask them to make some remarks with regard to the countries in which
they réside, and the efEect and influence Masonry bas upon those amongst whom they
dwell. As there are, happily, a large number, perLaps some of them will address a few
words in the Lodge room, and those able to stay to the banquet will give us their
remarks then. I cordially express a hope that when they return, they will take back
kindly feelings and pleasant thoughts of the Fremasons of England, of London, the
Provinces, and of this Lodge in particular/'
Bro. the Right Rev. C. 0. L. Riley, Lord Bishop of Western Australia, M.W,
Grand Master of Western Australia, said : "I and the other Bishops are only too
delighted to accept the kind invitation to visit this useful Lodge, and partake of yonr
hospitality afterwards. I corne from West Ausiralia, and I am sure when I go back and
tell my Brethren there of the wonderful réception given us, and the condescension of
H.R.H. in coming to meet us, who hâve come so far, they will be truly delighted. The
W.M. hasbeenkind enough to ask me to say a word about Masonry in my part of the
world. There is no country where it does so much good as where I come from. There
are many mining camps, and the men generally come there without their wives and
families, and I bave over and over again said that I hâve a deep conviction that there is
no part where Masonry does so much good as in the far-lying districts where men from
the old country meet, and, finding a Lodge, feel at home. This testimony from one who
cornes 10,000 miles may be of some advantage to those in the old land. Once more,
allow me to tell you how pleased they will be in West Australia at the spendid réception
to-daj, and the kindly présence of H.R.H. the M.W. Grand Master."
The Rt. Rev. the Bishop of Olympia, Washington, Bro. F. W. Keator, said they
had heard that there was probably no place where Masonry does more good than in
Australia. He was in the position of a Jewish gentleman, transacting business with
another gentleman in Boston, who gave the former to understand that one of bis
ancestors signed the Déclaration of Independence. " That is very good," said the
Jewish gentleman, " but one of my ancestors subscribed to the Ten Commandments."
He therefore felt he could go one better than the Bishop of Perth. One of the most
splendid things about his own country was to see the hold that Freemasonry bas already
attained. If they went into the smallest hamlets they would find a Masonic body,
and in each there was the deepest interest in their working. He could tell them that
certainly the ancient landmarks were preserved in his country. It would be a great

pleasnre to tell them at borne of thîs splcndid réception. He bad been bononred by
being a member of tbe Correspondence Circle, and in coming to tbe Lodge be was in a
sensé coming borne amongst bis own Bretbren. It would please tbem at borne, and
from bis heart he thanked H.R.H. and tbe W.M. for their kindly welcome.
Several otber Bishops and Churcb dignitaries also gave interesting addresses,
amongst tbem being tbe Rigbt Rev. W. P. Swaby, Lord Bisbop of Barbados and tbe
Windward Islands ; the Rigbt Rev. J. H. Darlington, Bisbop of Harrisburg, Penn-
sylvania; tbe Right Rev. T. Stevens, Lord Bisbop of Barking ; the Rigbt Rev. J.
B. Orozier, Lord Bisbop of Down, Grand Chaplain of Ireland; the Rigbt Rev. F.
Goldsmith, Lord Bisbop of Bnnbury, Western Aostralis ; tbe Rev. Andrew Gray, of
Springfield, Illinois, and the Rev. Charles E. Cooper, of Esquimault.
Bro. tbe Right Rev. J. B. Crozier, Lord Bisbop of Down said that it was bis
fortune to be Secretary to one of tbe most important Bishops' Committees, and it bad
been diffîcult to get away to attend the Lodge. As an Irishman he could say that be
came before he could get away. He attended with great pleasnre, and thanked them
for tbe opportnnity of conveying tbe greetings of tbe Bretbren in Ireland. They
yielded to none in their enthnsiasm and lojalty to God and King. In connection with
their Order they bad three great objecfcs, the moral, social and religions significance of
Preemasonry. Tbey were very social in Ireland, and Masonry gave tbem in a splendid
way an opportnnity of displaying their social instincts, where they got to know tbe
sympathies of one anotber better. In Ireland, Masonry was a great unifying influence,
and ail Christain folks desired unity. It was a terrible thing once said by a little girl
who was asked abont wild beasts. She said : " Wild beasts used to roam at will througb
Engiand, but tbey are now found in tbe United Kingdom only in tbe tbeological
gardens." He drew attention to tbe excellent Masonic Schools in Ireland, to whicb
H.R.H. the M.W.G.M. bad reudered great service by recognising.
Letiers of apology for non-attendance were received from the Right Bev. Lord Bishops of
Ohiohester, Barrow-in-Farness, Goulbourn, N.S.W., New Goinea, Limerick, and Bath and Wells, and the
Bight Bev. Bishops of Pennsylvanîa, New York, and Pitfcsburg, Pa.; also from Bros. Bev. H. W. Turner,

tîves from tho Grand Lodges of Treland, Scotland, Sonth Anstralia, Western Anstralia,
Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Washington. He extended to ail of thcm a cordial
welcome and rejoiced at the opportnnity of which they had been ablo to avail themselves
in visiting a Lodge having such world-wide rami 6 cations.
In reply to the toast, Bro. Right Rev. C. 0. L. Riley, Lord Bisbop of Perth, M.W.
Grand Master of Western Australia, said he was asked to speak as a Bishop, not as a
Grand Master ; y et he could not forge t that he was a Grand Master, a distinction of
which he was very prend, and also that he was a Past Grand Ohaplain of the Grand
Lodge of England, which he represented in the Grand Lodge of Western Anstralia.
He pointed ont that his Grand Lodge covered not a Province, nor a District, but was a
Grand Lodge havîng sovereign jurisdiction— in fact as good as their own. He had been
asked to testify to the faith that was in him as to Masonry, and he would do so in two
ways. They had had a diflScalt task in Western Anstralia. At one time no fewer than
three Grand Lodges were working in the terri tory over which he now rnled, but,
fortunately, he had been able to see practically ail the Lodges amalgamated, and the
last document he sîgned before leaving Perth for the Old Oountry, was an agreement
with the Grand Lodge of Scotland to end ail diflSculties and arrange matt^rs for the
future. In many respects Masonry had a trying time in Western Anstralia. Some
members had to travel 1,500 miles from the North to come to Grand Lodge Com-
munications; many had to come 600 miles, yet they had not failed. In the mining
camps masonry had been of great service. He had asked himself, *' Why am I a
Mason ?" For two reasons ; he found people divided by social, political, religions, and
other causes ; Masonry enabled them to meet on a common platform, and without
fear of division, for ail sources of division were left outside the Masonic Lodge.
Secondly, he found that he wanted to do something for men, some of whom were afraid
of Bishops, some of whom looked down on Bishops, though they could not well look
down on him, and some of whom would not open out and talk to him as man to man ;
but when they found he was a Mason they were one and ail ready to treat him as a
Brother Mason and brother man, so that he could work with them as he had wished to
do. He looked upon Masonry not only as cementing men of the British Empire, but as
making men brothers who Hved under différent Governments. There was no use talking
about the Empire to the U.S. Masons, to whom he extended the right hand of fellow-
ship ; and he thought Masonry was more a world-wide affair than an Empire affair.
He had been asked to go back to Western Anstralia by way of the United States, bat
the difficulty was not the going there, but the getting away from the United States, so
hospitable were they. He recalled an incident that had happened to him in New York.
Travelling on a tramcar he found himself in an accident, for the tram was run into and
badly smashed. An American who had been sitting near him before the collision said :
"Guess youVe a stranger ?" to which he replied " I am." "Wall, if you take my
advice you'll scoot. They may be wanting you as a wit.ness, and it'U be very incon-
vénient for you, so scoot." " I scooted," said the Bishop. Such an incident would not
bave been possible in England, though it might hâve occnrred in the Colonies, where
they were more wide-awake. Ooncluding, Dr. Riley said that in Western Anstralia
Masonry had done much good, in a small population. They had some people who
grumbled that it was too much of a knife-and-fork business, but he preferred that men
should meet together even for knife-and-fork business, under the supervising eye of the
W.M., and with the Junior Warden to see that they were moderate in ail that they did,
ratber than to meet together without anjone to overlook them,

South Africa, wbere ail the whifce men had to hang together and Masonry was of great

PREFACE.
HE discoverj of ^1)9 ®aQloir ^$« brings anotber important
accession to the now considérable number of the documents known to
be extant, vénérable bj âge, bearing on the Ancient Charges and
Constitutions of the Craft, and the Lodge bas now pleasnre in intro-
dncing to the notice of its members and the Fraternity generally, not
onlj a faithfnl and fnll-sized facsimile of a portion of the original
(accompanied bj tjpographical reproduction of the text), but aiso a
valnable and interesting disquisition thereon by the world-wide known vétéran
writer and authority on Masonic MSS., Bro. William James Hughan.
Bro. Hughan bas edited bj far the greater proportion of the known MSS., and I
esteem it a great privilège to be associated with him (as in a number of other instances
in former years) in the editing and publishing of the Taylor M 8,^ and take the
opportunitj, now afPorded, of expressing the deep obligations I am under to Bro.
Hughan for bis unwearying kindness, help, and encouragement during mj fortj jears
pursuit of Masonic knowledge.
In bis report on the Taylor M8. Bro. Hughan refers to the déplorable — and I maj
add barbarous — mutilation of the Scroll.
Fortunatelj the text is inscribed on both sides of the parchment, and not, as
often happens to be the case in thèse MSS., on one sîde only. We hâve thus preserved
to us the " ^tticltSi anb (Sixitxe" which Bro. Hughan bas noticed with his usual
masterlj grasp of the entire subject. Nevertheless the absence of an important portion
of the Scroll is most regrettable and vexations.
Very little is known so far of the history of the MS. It was formerly in the
possession of the late Thomas Taylor, Esq., sometime Coroner of the West Biding of
Yorkshire and the Honor of Pontefract. He was a man of considérable attainment-s as
an Antiqnary and the author of ** The History of the Rectory Manor of Wakefield."
After his death the Scroll came into the possession of John Charles worth, Esq., of
Horbury, near Wakefield.
Mr. Taylor died some years ago, and was not known to be a Mason, but his
f ather, Bro. Thomas Taylor, was initiated into Freemasonry in the old Lodge of
TJnanimity No. 154 Wakefield, June 4th, 1821. He does not appear to bave taken
any active part in the Craft. Wakefield being an old Masonic centre, possibly the
MS. may bave been handed down for générations back in that city, but this is merely
conjectural at présent.
I may mention, by the way, that the TJnanimity is one of those lodges of the
" Modems " which, during the latter half of the eighteenth century, gave the Royal
Arch Degree on its own authority to brethren who applied for Exaltation.
The existence of the Taylor MS, was first made known to me by Bro. H. G. E.
Green, Prov. Grand Secretary of West Yorkshire, and Bro. W. Townend, P.M., Lodge
of Unanimity No. 154. On my communicating with Mr. Charles worth through thèse
brethren, and commenting on its interesting character archœologically, he very kindly

gave me permission and ample opportunity to hâve the MS. examined. Mr. Charles-
worth, unfortnnately for the Craft, is not a member of our Fraternitj, as he possesses
an extensive range of knowledge on the subject of old manuscripts, but on hearing that
this document woald be held in high estimation by the Craft he most generously
presented it to the Provincial Grand Lodge of West Yorkshire, in whose possession
it will remain in perpetuity, and by whom it will be most carefuUy preserved and
greatly valned.
The Province of West Yorkshire may be congratalated on possessing ten of thèse
precious ancient Masonic MSS., viz., the Thos, W, Tew 17th Centnry, William Watso9t
1687, Glapham 1700 (circa), Waistell 1(393, Hughan 17th Centory, Stanley 1677, T. TT.
Emhleton 17th Century, Mac Nah 1722, H. F. Beaumont 1690 (or ante), Taylor 17th
Century. In addition to thèse there are in private holding the Probity, early 18th
Century (Probity Lodge No. 61, Halifax); the Hope 17th Century (Hope Lodge
No. 302, Bradford) ; and the Bain I7th Century, owned by Bro. Reginald A. Wilson, of
Fidelity Lodge No. 289, Leeds, the last-named MS. having been recently published ia
the Third Part of the Transactions of our Quatuor Goronati Lodge No. 2076 for the
year 1907.

COMMENTARY.
The "Taylor MS." belongs to the " Sloane Family," and so I bave numbered it
E 19, placing it with the new " Thorp Branch (a) " necessitated by the discovery of the
"John T. Thorp MS. (E 16)*' of a.d. 1629. The latter MS. was reproduced in the
Transactions of the " Lodge of Research," 1898-9, and in the " Ars Quatuor Coronatorum,"
vol. xi., 1898. Had it been found earlier, I hâve no doubt but that Dr. Begemann would
hâve placed the MSS. of this group under the " Thorp Family," rather than the
" Sloane E " ; being the senior by several years, and evidently a prototype of the
" Sloane MS. No. 3848 "; two documents being used in the transcribing of fche " Sloane "
Scroll.i
It is impossible to décide how long this Roll was originally, but only a third is
preserved, if the usual " Charges " or Régulations were given on the ob verse, but if
thèse were omitted about half is missing. The Scroll leaves oif while reciting that a
Parliament was convened toconsider the pressing claims of a superabundant population.
The " Alnwick MS." gives the Charges, gênerai and spécial, though the " Orders *'
(somewhat similar in character) are likewise iuserted, so it is quite probable the " Taylor
MS." also did, and thus is only now represented by about one-third of its former length.
" The Alnwick MS., E 10," was reproduced at Nevvcastle-upon-Tyne, by the Province of
Northumberland and Durham, Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia, a.d. 1895.
After the MS. proper, in the " Alnwick Lodge " Records, corne the " Orders to be
observed by the company and Fellowship of Free Masons att a Lodge held att Alnwick
Septr 29, 1701, being the Geu^^ head meeting day." They are numbered one to fourteen,
and signed by the members. In like manner the " Articles and Orders, Condescended,
Concluded & agreed vpon by ye Company & Fellowship of Freemasons " folio w the
regular portion of the Taylor MS., only thèse additional rules are written on the
' Hughan'fl *' Old Charges of British Freemasons 1896," and the "Supplément 1896-1906"
{Freemason, Jane 16th, 1906).

fevefse of the ScroU, which in fchis respect differs f rom ail other MSS. known. Owing to
the regrettable maiming of the MS., thèse Articles shared the fate of the regnlar RoU,
the twelfth and a part of the thirteenth being fortunatelj preserved.
In the " Masonic Magazine " for August and September, 1875, is an interesting
article by the Editor, on the " Minute Book " of the Lodge of Industry, Gateshead. Onr
lamented member, Bro. the Rev. A. F. A. Woodford, M.A., was the author. Some time
since I had the pleasare of ezamining thîs valnable " Book of Constitntions, a.d. 1723/'
with the additional sheets on which the oldest preserved Records of the Lodge are
written. Thej well deserve reproduction in facsimile, so that their character maj be
more widely known. The ordinary Régulations for operatives, which foUow the
traditional History of the " Old Charges," are styled " Orders of Aniiquity,'* and mn
from one to twenty-one, and there are also the " Apprentices Orders,*^ followed by the
" General Orders " and " Pénal Orders," the last two agreeing in several respects with
the " Articles and Orders " of the " Taylor MS.," and those of the " Alnwick MS." In
order to exhibit their substantial agreement, I append a table of the articles in the three
MSS. which are mostly alike.

Some of the laws are to be foand in other portions of the MSS., but they are ail
suggestive of a common origin. The General Meeting Day was either on the Feast of
St. Michael the Archangel (" Taylor" and ''Alnwick'' MSS.) or St. John the Baptist's
Day {'' Oatevhead '' MS.), the "Taylor" ScroU alone providing that an apprentice not
observing its conditions ''shall be defratuîed of his Freedome.'* It is much to beregretted
that we know not the name and location of the Lodge which used the "Taylor M S.", but
doubtless it was of a similar character to the other two Lodges, held at Alnwick and
Gateshead respectively.
A paper of great interest on "The Alnwick Lodge Minutes" was read by Bfo.
W. H. Rylands, F.S.A., on the 4th January, 1901 (il.y.C, vol. xiv., pp. 4-26), in which
mention is made that the Rules which immediately follow the copy of the " Old Charges
are difEerent from those usually found in other MSS., but some of them are modelled
upon the original ones." Bro. Rylands, in studying thèse Records, discovered that on
December 27th, 1748, the Minutes probably refer to the formation of a *p«ct*Za^it;e Lodge,
separate from tbe one mainly, if not wholly, operative ; which as our lamented Brother
G. W. Speth pointed ont, was of importance " as beariug on the transition period of the
Craft."
The old Charter of " Scoon and Perth Lodge " of a.d. 1668 should also be con-
Bulted as to thèse additional Régulations or By-Laws ; f nll information being given in

URHAM being the objective of oar Sammer Outing this year,
we met on the moming of July 16th at Kings Cross Station.
"While mustering, oar Secrel'âry was àpparently distribating " bntton-
holes " to the members, but as each brotber in tarn came onder
notice, he foand it was a badge, which he was expected to wear
throughoat the whole dnration of his visit to the North. It bore
the initiais, " Q.C.," the légal meaning of which, during the reign of
otir late Qaeen, being now obsolète, some brethren, remembering the Labour difiBculty
at Sunderland, suggested that it was, like the badge worn in Paris during the
massacre of St. Bartholomew, to proteôt us from the fary of the populace.

It had been found impossible to obtain accommodation for our whole party in
the Cathedral City itself, so that our destination was Sunderland, and leaving London
at 11.30 a.m. we arrived, after seven hours* travelling, on a rainy, cheerless evening, at
" the largest Borough in the Coanty of Durham, situated at the mouth of the River
Wear." Our welcome at the Grand Hôtel soon dispelled the gloom that had settled on
some of us during our long journey ; and, " powerfully refreshed," we started, at 8, for

lodges was held in oar lionoar, and a brave sbow it made. The hnmbler Tnembers of the
Q.G. Lodge were marshalled in tbe Norfch ; facing ns were ail tbe Provincial GrantL
Officers of Darham— at least i£ thej were not ail there they most be like tbe sand of
the sea-shore for multitude —and on a raised dais were the Sanderland W.M*s and
the Officers of the Grand Lodge of Ëngland, of whom we number so many in our
Q.C. Circles.
The W.M. of the Palatine Lodge No. 97 made a grand speech of welcome on the
parfc of ail the Sanderland brethren (for every Masonic Body.in the town was repi-é-
sented on the Réception Committee), while Bro. J. G. Moor, Prov.G.Sec, addeda like
welcome on behalf of the Province, and they told us how mnch the Pro.v.G.M., Lord
Barnard, regretted that indisposition prevented him from being présent to receive us,
but that one and ail of the Masons of Sunderland would see that nothing wasleft nndone
for the instruction and improvement— ay, and even the amusement, of their brothers
from London. Our beloved W.M. made a most suitable reply, winning tbe bearts,
surely, of ail our Northern Brethren, and endearing himself even xfiore to those of . bis
own Lodge ; many of whom could not refrain from admiring bis versatile qualifications,
when we compared bis cheery friendly speech of this evening with the dignified.and
graceful réception he had given, but a couple of days before, in tbe Temple pf Grand
Lodge, to n.R.H. the Grand Master of Ëngland.
Some of us ^^ Ritualists " were keenly interested in tbe little différences we
observed ; the peculiar sainte, unfamiliar to many of us ; the " Attend to it," from one of
tbe officers ; and a species of Charge which was sung to a piano accompaniment, with a
chorus, in which, to the surprise of those of us who did not know it, we still found that
many of our own Q.C. were able to join.
Bro. J. D. Todd gave us an interesting account of the Phœnix Lodge, and a most
urgent, pressing invitation to alter our programme for the next morning, give np the
Bede Mémorial, and, instead, visit what be said were the '* slums '' of Sunderland and
see tbe Phœnix Lodge. Two more solo songs followed, and the brethren's voicés, à rich
ténor and a most beautiful bass, augured well for the musical entertainment to wbich we
knew we were invited for tbe "coming morrow " evening. Then our Bro. Secretary
gave a short address, speaking up for tbe faith that is in us as a Researcb Lodge, but be
found we were so well known — and appreciated — in the Connty of Durham, that very
few woi*ds from him were necessary. (I wonder if any of us bave heard that phrase
before — it sounds familiar.) Then we ** closed," and the wéll-known prayer to the
G.A.O.T.U. sounded specially sweet to us far away from home, as it came in tbe soft
" burr " of the Northern speech (intensified, we verily believe, for our benefit) ; and one
of the most deeply interesting Masonic meetings was o ver.
But the evening evidently was not — for we were conducted down to what seemed
must be '^ Domdaniel " caverns in the bowels of the eartb, and found ourselves in a
most élégant spacious room in the basement. Hère we soon began to know each other
better, and found ont how tbe W.M. of the Palatine Lodge could put that Northern
burr ou bis tongne, when he told us about a certain Sunderland *^ kewk " (it is tbe
nearest way one can reproduce bis pronunciation of cook). We also learnt the pride of
tbe local citizensbip, for one brother, also putting on tbe burr, told us that " If Loondon
wern*t Loondon, Soonderland would be.'* And so, for ail the rain and the gloomy streets,
our first night was a most enjoyable one. There was a club in the vicinity, to which we
were invited, and some of our more energetio — and wakeful — members finished up the
evening witbin its hospitable portais.

Friday, the 17tb. After breakfast we visited the Ghnrcb oi St. Peter,
Monkwearmonth, where the Yicar, the Rev. D. S. Boutflower, M. A., received ns, and
gave ns a most interesting address on the historj and vicissitudes of the Church. '* Is
it not ail written in the Guide Books ?" — No, mj captions Brother, not one half of it.
Onr Rev. gaide pointed ont to us how the original Church was planned on the propor-
tional dimensions of Solomon's Temple at Jérusalem ; how the Western " porchway
entrance " was the original arch under which, twelve centuries ago, the Vénérable Bede
passed in to worship. Onr attention was drawn to some curions carvings of snakes on
the arch, the " beaks *' of which were certaiolj not ** Ophidian '* — as we know the
OphidifiB now at the Zoo. Âlso some panels, with animais carved in low relief; one of
which mtght be taken to mean a bear — or a hog. We were shewn évidences of the fire
that had destrojed most of the Church in, perhaps, 867 a.d. Snnderland, of course, is
a shipping town, and a curions illustration was given us of how some of the old work
bas been preserved. In days before water ballast was thonght of, the vessels taking
coal South used to retum with very substantial ballast of stones, earth and mbbish.
This had been shot into, and around, the Church, so that the surface of the soil was
raised some ten or twelve feet, thus burying much of the original work under débria.
This tended to préserve the old carvings ; the débris bas ail been now removed, but
of the Utile carving that remains, there wonld probably be none, had it not been tbns
protected during the periods when, alas ! it was not valued. Much time might most
profitably hâve been spent hère, but we had to burry away— and were conducted down
winding streets to a steam ferry, in which we crcssed the river, and then up more
winding streets to an outwardly unpretentious building, erected in 1785, which we
fonnd to be the home of the Phœnix Lodge. It is the oldest Lodge in Snnderland,
dating back to 1755, and had fully justified its name.for when in 1783 its first Hall was
bumt down, this présent one rose glorions from its ashes. The inside was, indeed, a
révélation ; the carved oak chairs were greatly admired — some vandal had once painted,
or gilded, them —but tbis bas now fortunately been scraped off, and they appear in their
■ virgin beauty — ** Black* burcoWêly." We hocicod on the W.M's ohai**^the Arms ot the -
Orand Lodge of the ** Modems," from which the Lodge received its first Charter, whilo
on a large banner, banging almost from the ceiling more than balf-way to the Hoor,
were the arms of the " Ancients," the why and wherefore of which we could not ascertain,
perhaps becanse onr time was so limited. On the walls also were the T.B.'s of the Lodge ;
most deeply interesting. Ail were very différent to those we know in the South, and thongb
the différences, for obvions reasons, cannot be explained in détail, it is to be hoped that
onr Q.C. Lodge may be able to obtain photographs of them. The third was what might
be oalled (by a Zoologist) the most "aberrant" from the normal. A recumbent figure
was upon it, but the artist had apparently copied it from a Crucifix, and simply altered the
extended arms and put them to the side, parallel with the body. Beneath was an " Arc
rule," or Sector, with the numbers 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 15. Our hospitable brethren wonld
make us bave some light refreshment before we left — and then off again through more
winding streets to the railway station. Hère we took train for Durham ; on the way onr
conducting brother called our attention to the Penshaw monument, and some of ns got
confused as to whether it was put up in memory of the Earl of Durham, or of a Dragon
— locally called the " Worm." Arrived at Durham, we had a fine view of the town and
Cathedral from the railway platform, but the day was so misty, and raining every few
minutes, that our photographers were not able to secure much. Over the Elvet Bridge
we were taken, what seemed a long walk, to the Masonic Hall. Hère a good repast was
served in a large room, decorated ail round with names of those who had presided over

the Marquis of Qranby Lodge since 1739. Some, we noiiced, only served half a year,
bat one brother held the office for nearly twenty years in succession. We were par-
ticularly interested in observing the name of the Bev. A. F. A. Woodford, the Master
in 18tô-G, as he was a founder of the Quatuor Goronati Lodge, and one of the foremost
of the Masonic students of his day. We were taken upstairs to the Temple, a really
splendid place, where many items of Masonic interest were laid out for our inspection.
Amongst thèse were the Lodge Minute Books, from 1738, containing références to the
'' Harodim/' similar to those we had seen earlier in the day at the Phœnix Lodge, and
also the second earliest known record of the Mark degree, which was worked in the
Durham Lodge in 1773. Then we were shown the furniture, dating from 1756-60 ; the
collar jewels of 1775 ; the chair of Bro. S. G. Kemble, the actor, who was W.M. in
1818-9, and the clearance certificate from Lodge 28, Cork, of Coant Borawlaski, a man
of diminutive stature (3ft. 2in. in height), who died in 1837, in his 99th year, Bro.
Kemble, who was his great friend, both inside and outside the Lodge, was nearly six
feet in height and weighed 30 stones. Truly a remarkable contrast ! Then — what
seemed back again — but we did not know our Darham — and a steep climb up
précipitons streets and we were at the goal of oar expédition — Darham Gathedral. The
long-threatening clouds, however, now burst upon us, and we should hâve ^ot soaked
had we attempted to examine the outside ; a hasty look at the " Sanctuary knocker,"
and we sheltered within. Hère we were taken in hand by The Yerger (those who were
présent will understand why we place this emphasis upon our guide), and, in the
gathering darkness, jast made out St. Cuthbert*s Tomb, the Ghapel of Nine Altars and
the Masonic window. Then we were taken down the Nave to the '* Galilée," which
hère, unlike Ely, is a closed Ghapel, so that Darham Gathedral bas the somewhat
unique distinction of having no West doors. Hère we saw, dimly, the Tomb of the
Yenerable Bede, and some of us, from the small Windows in the West, which overlook
the steep descent to the river, had the saperb spectacle of a thunder-storm over the
Wear. So that the memory of Darham Gathedral, to those of us who saw it now for
thofirst time — is that 9f the grandest of-^pir Norinan structures bnried in gloom and
illuminated by lightning fiashes. Service was at three o*clock, but, much as we should
hâve liked to hear Heaven's thunder mingling with that of man's organ, we had again
to harry away, this time to the " Gastle," now used as Durham University. Hère there
was mach oî great interest to see, the Norman Doorway being particularly fine. Also
a splendid black oak well staircase, with Pendentives at the corners ; the larger number
of which hâve, however, had to be removed, as it was found necessary to put in struts
in order to support the structure. The Norman gallery above shewed the older style
of architecture to great advantage, and from its Windows we had a fine view over the
Gourtyard to the Gathedral beyond. A welcome cup of tea was provided for us in the
University Lecture Boom, and then once more the Old Hnstler, with the Scythe and
the Hoar-glass, speaking through the médium of our much-esteemed Secretary, ordered
us off back again to the Bailway Station. Some of us were able to vary our route, and
cross the river by the Prebend*s liridge ; and the rain having temporarily ceased, one
photographer, at least, amongst us exposed a plate from the bridge parapet.
The evening found us ail again in Sunderland, and eight o'clock being the time
that " the local Brethren kindly invited us to meet them at the Beception Boom of the
*' Town Hall, where they had arranged to give us a smoking concert," we ail tumed up
more or less punctually und, perhaps, rather more than less tired. The Mayor of
Sunderland, Conncillor W. Walker, was there to reçoive us. He made us a speech of
welcome, and at the first sound of his ringing periods ail traces of our fatigue vaniahed,

and we literally " hung upon his words " with rapt attention. He allnded slightlj to the
hard times throagh which the town was passing, bat with a manljr hopefulness that was
invîgorating to listen to ; and then passing on to what he was pleased to tell us was the
event of the Snmmer— Our Visit, — he bade us so hearty a welcome, and assnred ns of
sach gennine friendship, that one, at any rate, of the London members gazed at his Q.C.
'badge and woadered how he could hâve thought it was intended for protection in a
possibly hostile city.
Oar W.M. replied again most appropriately, an excellent concert foUowed, and
again some of oar members found their way to the Clnb. Our W.M:, however, set as a
good example, he refcumed to our hôtel, and, gathering aroand him those of as who were
there, he addressed as in the *' Coffee Room." At least it was the CofFee-room jnst then,
though by the siga in the centre of the ceiling (to which oar Ancient Brethren had
their attention particularly directed), we knew it was really the home of the Vedra
Lodge. Our W.M. told as that as we had departed from oar programme to-day
he woald hope to meet as at 7 a.m. in the moming, when we coald inspect the Bede
Mémorial before starting on our Barnard Castle expédition, and we promised.
Satnrday, Jaly 18th. The morning broke (like some of oar promises), and a
-harricane blew the rain against the Windows. One poor Q.C. member crept down the
deserted stairs at 7 a.m. and himself anbolted the hôtel door, and, rnshing across the
road, sheltered in the first tram he saw. The condactor said it went to Boker, and as
near the Mémorial as any other tram, but it stopped half-a-mile from the sea, and in
déluges of rain, along anfinished roads, that poor Q.C. member tradged. Then the rain
ceased, and a large beautiful Irish cross was on the Esplanade before him. The Bede
Mémorial is quite récent, but it is a splendid replica of an Ancient Stone cross. On his
way back along the sea-front he met some belated brethi'en, and told them they migbt
ail go back for he had seen the cross and could tell them ail about it. And, such is the
weakness of h aman nature, that with the rain again beating in their faces, they were
ail almost willing to do so. However Bro. Moor, jan., was in charge of the party, and
he nrged them on ; and so the Bede Cross was thoroughly inspected by some dozen of
us — including our W.M.
Oar programme stated that we should leave Sunderland at 9.13, but there was a
Miners* Conférence at Darham to-day, and this delayed our train, and it was past 11 a.m.
when we reached our destination — Barnard Castle. It is a pleasant town — it calls
itself a '^ town" — and the sun, which had so long neglected us, shed a few gleams as
we made our way to the Castle's chief entrance, through the yard of the King^s Arms
Hôtel. The Castle is now in ruins, but most picfcuresque. The most of what remains
stands on the edge of a steep rock, with a sheer descent of 80 feet to the River Tees
below. Two ruined towers remain and some of the walls. One of the towers, Baliors
Tower, so said the caretaker — (No, no, Wardress sounds more appropriate) — bas a
"half-worn winding stair, that gives ascent fco upper air," — (it is impossible to avoid
the words of Sir Walter in such surroundings) — and though the " upper-air," when we
reached it, threatened to blow us off the tower into the Tees far below, it was worth
risking for a sight of the glorious panorama that extended as far as eye could see.
The Yorkshire Moors to the south and the Darham Hills to the north, for the Tees hère
is the boundary of the Counties, seemed to extend in inimitable expanse, and it was with
a sigh one returned to the lower earth, and the inévitable reminder that one would be
late for lancheon. However, our W.M. and some of the rest of us, would explore the
doorway in the wall, which led out towards the river, and which had a very old wrought

iron knooker, already daniaged, and likely bood to he ntterly desirojed, if onr W.M.'s
suggestion be not actcd upon and the knocker removed to tbe inner side oî the door.
Going ont, our soft-spokon '* Wardress " (she came from Southern England, thongh now
" gaarding " a Northern fortress) sbewed us another iron knocker, and our W.M. advised
the making of little modela of it for sale, remembering, perfaaps, ihat such models of the
Saçctuaiy knocker, at Durham, can be purchased in London. After ** Lunch " we
inspected tbe Church, and were much intercsted in an old font, whicb bas upon it wbat
we are sure is a Merchanfc's mark, in spite of the fact that William Hutchinson, the
Durham historian, and others following bim, claim that it is a symbol of the Trinîtj.
The same mark appears on a tombstone in the Church, but as, unfortunately, the
inscription bas been erased, we bave no clae whatever by whicb we can identify the
" Merchant."
And then — well then it rained again " Heaven's bard," and the " open " carnages
that were waiting to take us to Raby had ail been rigged up with tarpaulin covers
(" waggon vaulting,*' as it is aptly termed in architecture) and those of us wbo,
perbaps selfishly, sheltered well in tbe interior, might as well bave been travelling in
a *' Black Maria," for ail we could see of the country throagb which we were passing.
After a drive of some seven miles we stopped at the village of Staindrop, aligbted, and
getting tbe keys of tbe Church — (after a time, during whicb we got a wetting) — we saw
over the old building. It was in a very untidy, transition, stage, some repairs or
altérations were going on; but tbe effigies, in stone, and some whicb " peculiarly
attracted onr attention," in wood, of bygone Vanes and Dukes of Cleveland, were well
wortb ail the inconvenienco we had endured.
A very short drive then took us on to Raby Castle, where we aligbted in the
Courtyard and were ushered into the magnificent hall with groined roof, where Lord
Barnard was waiting to reçoive us, with Lady Barnard beside bim. We were formed
into parties, each with a condactor to show and explain the marvels of the place ; bis
Lordship taking a few of us a little way, but bis healtb would not permit bis going very
far, and from the spacioas kitchens to the magnificent Baron's Hall, ail was thrown
open to us.
The Castle is very large and in splendid préservation ; Sir Henry Yane, its owner
in earlier days, spoke of it modestly to bis King as *' a mère hillock of stone," and
James the First is said to bave replied, " Call ye that a hillock of stone P By my faith,
I bave not such another hillock of stonos in ail my dominions."
We returned from onr survey to the Qreat Hall, where Lord Barnard had pro-
vided sumptaously for onr entertainment, and was there bimself, again with Lady
Barnard, graciously looking after us, as if we were the seyen bundred knights who
" . . . . retainers ail
Of Nevill, at tbeir Master's call,
Had sate together in Raby 's Hall."
AU too soon it was time to be moving ; a group was formed on the Terrace out-
side, where we, more or less unflinchingly, faced tbe caméra, and then again to our
" Black Marias," and very reluctantly we left the magnificent " hillock."
Indeed, so impressed were we with it ail, that we connt our time from that yisit,
and, of the brethren who were fortunate enongh to be of that party, when any two meet,
they greet each other as Sir Hngh the Héron bold addressed Lord Marmion : — " When
last in Raby's towers we met." A drive of some four miles brought us to Winston
Station, and an hour's train joumey brought us back to ganderland.

Farewell is still a bitter word to say."
We had to change at Dnrham, and ihe wait there gave ns tîme for a last look
at the magnificent view from the rail way platform. Indeed, some of ns tnmed onr

in the British Section of Fine Arts in the Franco-British Exhibition.
It bas been said, by the opponents of Malthusianism, that when Providence sends
mouths, it also sends food to put in them. The Bail way Company acted as our
providence, for it sent our mouths by one train and our splendidly appointed dining
saloon by another. Still we managed to get something, and we had been so petted and
feasted up North, that had this Snnday been a véritable fast day, none of us wonld bave
been much the worse. King*s Ci*obs — and we scattered, like bullets from a Shrapnel

And some ail restlessly at home,
But never more, oh never, we

EARLY MASONS' CONTRACTS AT DURHAM.
BV BRO. E. H, DRING.
N connection with onr vîsit to Dnrham, it may be well to draw attention
to a contract between the Prior of Dnrham and John Bell, Mason,
dated 1488, which is still preserved in the Registry of the Dean and
Chapter. Although not the earliest in existence, it is mnch fuller
and more interesting than the generality of snch documents, and is,
moreover, written in English. It is printed in the Historiae Bunelm-
ensis scriptores très (Sartees Society, 1839), p, ccclxxiii.^ and extracts
from it were printed in an article in the Trans., BI.B, Architects, 1887, by Wyatt
Papworth. As thèse works are not always available to Masonic studenta, I think the
présent a fitting occasion to reprint the docnment in extenso,

In this same volume of Hist, Dunelm. scrtptores, on pages CLXXXVir.-cxc, there is
another long indenture between Peter Dring and the Prior of Durham for the recon-
struction of the walls of the Dormitories at Durham Cathedral, date d 1401 . It is too long
to reprint, and has little interest except from a builder's point of view, and the
record of the Masons* names. It begins : —

There are also in the volume two other indentures of a similar character between
the Prior and John de Middelton (p. clxxx.), and between the Bishop and Thomas
Hyndeley, and others (p. cciv.) for building varions parts of the cathedral and cl oisters,
as well as several accompt rolls detailing the cost of wages paid, etc. They are hardiy
worthy of reprinting, and a record of their existence is sufficient.

"THE MAN OF TASTE/* A SATIRE OF 1733.
BV BRO. W. B, HEXTALL, P,M.
OON after thé Masonic revival of 1717 and the establishment of Grand
Lodge, the fashionably artistic and literary world which bore the
appellation of ** the Town " became mnch exercised over the building,
bj the first Duke of Chandos, of his stately but short-lived mansion of
Canons, near Edgware.^ Smollett, in his continuation of Hume's
History of England, relates in a matter-of-fact way that the Duke,
when the Hon. James Brydges, heir to his father. Lord Chandos, and
Paymaster General to the Forces abroad, " accounted tor ail the money that had passed
through his hands, excepting three millions." The Rev. Frédéric Barlow's " Complète
Peeragfe "(1772), mentions his holding of theappointment, but is silent as to défalcations,
and speaks of the Duke's life as ** spent in the exercise of every virtue reqnisite to the
character of a great and good man " ; so that posfcerity also in this instance finds the
diflBculty which usually besets its judgment.
Commenced in 1715, the érection and corapletion of Canons occupied several
years and absorbed vast sums of money ; it is said that *' the locks and hinges to the
doors of the state rooms were of gold or silver."^
It does not appear that this Duke, who died in 1744, had himself aught to do
with Freemasonry, but his son, afterwards the second Duke, was, as Henry Marquis of
Carnarvon, Grand Master, 1738. The son's boundless ambition and extravagance
brought about the destruction and sale of Canons in 1747, subséquent to which date his
eldest son, James Marquis of Carnarvon, was Grand Master from 1754 to 1757.
Although the family fortunes were greatly impaired, the second Duke attended Grand
Lodge frequently as a Past Grand Master, and presided, in the absence of Lord Blayney,
then Grand Master, at the Assembly and Feast held May 21st, 1765. He died in 1771.
An almost bitter rivalry existed between the first Duke, as owner of Canons, and
the Earl of Burlington, the possessor of Burlington House as it then stood in
Piccadilly ; this had not been rendered less acute by their patronage of competing — not
necessarily always very compétent — architects of the day, and culminated with the
publication, in 1731, of ** An Bpistle to the Right Honourable Richard, Earl of Burling-
ton. . . . By Mr. Pope," the re-issue being entitled *' On Taste," and later " On
False Taste," afterwards altered to " The Use of Riches," and included in Alexander
Pope's collected works as the fourth of his "Moral Essays.'* Pope's intervention at
once raised the squabble to fever-heat, and large quantities of paper and print were
expended in the fray, which went on merrily for some years. Pope's " Epistle " supplied
Hogarth, the painter, with material for his trenchant picture, " The Man of Taste, or
Burlington Gâte," prints from which, engraved by himself, had a large sale, and which
Mr. Austin Dobson, in his work on Hogarth (1879), thus describes, " The diminutive
figure of Pope on a scafPolding is seen vigorously whitewashing the gâte, and bespatter-
ing the passers-by, among others the Duke of Chandos, while Lord Burlington briugs

the whitewash. This is an allnsion to Pope's epistle to Lord Burlington, in whicb,
under the name of Timon, the Duke of Ohandos and his seat of Canons were held up to
ridicule. The prînt pave great offence to the persons attacked, for the impression is
said to hâve been recalled and the plate destroyed." Hogarth is also said to hâve
drawn a satirical frontispiece for " Mr. Tas te, the Poetical Fop, a comedy, 1732,"
written in dérision of Pope, by one James Miller, of whom more hereafter. Pope,
waspish and pugnacious as he -was, for some reason refrained from openly resenting
Hogarth's caricature of " Burlington Gâte " ; perhaps the suppression of the print was
accepted as sufficient. If Pope had attacked in retum, a very pretty quarrel must hâve
followed, for both he and Hogarth were " first-class fighting men," and almost too ready
to meet their enemies in the gate.^
In 1733 was published the work with which I am more directly concerned : " The
Man of Taste, occasioned by an Epistle of Mr. Pope's on that subject. By the author
of the Art of Politicks. London, Printed by J. Wright, for Lawton Gilliver, at Homer's
Head, against St. Dunstan's Church, in Fleet Street, 1733." On a copy in the British
Muséum is a manuscript note that the work was entered for copyright at Stationers'
Hall by the publisher on March 5th, 1732. Why the entry preceded the actual publica-
tion by something like a year we can only guess ; possibly there was a temporary lull
in the quarrel between the Duke and the Earl ; no doubt the publisher had some good
reason for the delay.
The printed poem occupies nineteen folio pages. It sets forth in considérable
détail the pursuits, and frequently the foUies, of a man of fashion, désirons of being
thought a VtrtuosOy eager to create a sensation of any kind so long as it drew public
attention to himself, and caring nothing whether he pleaâed or disgusted provided he
astonished. As a spécimen, I will take thèse lines :
" Without Italian, or without an ear,
To Bononcini's musick I adhère :
To boon companions I my time would give,
With players, pimps, and parasites l'd live;
1 would with jockeys from Newmarket dine,
And to rough riders give my choicest wine ;
My evenings ail I would with sharpers spend,
And make the thief -catch er my bosom friend ;
In Figg,2 the Prize-fighter, by day delight.
And sup with Colley Cibber evVy night."
The contemporary allusions are not diflficult to folio w. Bononcini is remembered
less for musical talent than as coupled with George Frederick Handel in the lines, some-
times attributed to Dean Swift, but really written by John Byrom :
" Some say, compar'd to Bononcini,
That Mynheer HandeVs but a ninny ;
Others aver that he to Handel
Is scarcely fit to hold a candie.
Strange ail this différence should be
'Twixt Tweedledum and Tweedledee."
^ Whether Pope was aFreeniason, see Bro. Sadler's Masonic Reprints and Révélations, 1898, and
Bro. B. F. Gould at A.Q.G., xi., 193-4. Hogarth was a Freemason, and Grand Steward in 1735.

James Figg, prizeBghter, who în fact performed more with sword and quarter-
staff than with bis fists, was at that tirae prominent enongh to be introduced into tbe
second pictnre of " Tbe Rake's Progress," and it is said also into" Soutbwark Pair," by
Hogartb, who designed bis business card, an impression of whieb, describing bim as
" Master of the Noble Science of Defence," bas been sold for eight guineas, and to bave
his portrait mezzotinted by Faber. An illaminative note is contained in "William
Hogartb," by George Angnstns Sala (1866) respectiog Figg, to whose prowess some
minor poet of the day paid compliment in thèse words,
" Rash and nnthinking men, at lengtb be wise,
Consult your safety, and resign the prize :
Nor tempt snperior force, but timely fly
The vigour of his arm, tbe quickness of his eye.*'
and John Byrom, already quoted, wrote of hîm,
" Long live the great Figg, of the prize-fighting swains,
Sole monarch acknowledged of Marybone plains."
I bave referred rather fully to this bero of the day, not only becanse it
is well to appréciât^ tbe gênerai nature of the poem we are dealing with, but also
becaase Bro. Henry Sadler, to whom I am indebted for kindly searching tbe rolls at
Grand Lodge, informs me that according to the list for 1725 the Masonic Lodge meeting
at the Gastle Tavern, St. Giles's, had a James Figg amongst its members : and thongb
descriptions and addresses were not then generally given, it seeras probable that this
was the same man. Hogarth^ was more merci fui in his presentment of his brother-
Mason Figg in the " Progress " than in that of Past Grand Master Desaguliers in the
" Sleeping Congrégation," if the received tradition that the Révérend Doctor there
figures in the pulpit be correct. Desaguliers, by-the-way, had been Ghaplain to the
Duke of Chandos, and from bim received the living of Edgware, or, as Lysons bas
it, of Whitchurch, close by.^
Colley Cibber, the plavwright, had througb political influence been appointed
Poet Lauréate in 1730; a biographer writes of him, somewhat unkindly, that "bis
lyrical effusions were celebrated only for their absnrdity."^
Returning to our poem, " The Man of Taste " ; after a discourse upon, and upon
foUies concerning, the Drama, Architecture, Gardens, Coins, Sculpture and Music, we
come to thèse lines, supposed to be spoken by the aforesaid man of taste and fashion,
posing as an arbiter and exponent of the pursuits and foUies of the day :
" Bears, Lyons, Wolves, and Eléphants I breed,
And Philosophical Transactions read.
Next Lodge, l'U be Free-Mason, nothing less,
Unless I happen to be F.R.S."
The poem is frankly satirical throughout, and it may at first sight seera that this
allusion to the Craft was meant to express contempt and dérision, but I am by no means
sure that such is the correct view. The letters " F.R.S." can,in the présent connexion,
only indicate " Fellow of the Royal Society," and the " Philosophical Transactions," are, of
course, the coUected papers of that Society, which was foanded in 1660 and incorporated
in 1662 ; the " Transactions " being first issued in March, 1664-6, and amounting to 496

numbers, or 46 volumes, in 1750. Wifchoafc dwelling upon the circumstance that there
was a Masonic strain observable amoDgst tbe earliest members of tbe Royal Society, — tbe
first Président, to wbom its establishment was in great part due, being Sir Robert
Murray (or Moray), wbose admission into the Craft at Newcastle-on-Tyne on May
20th 1641 is the earliest recorded initiation of a non-operative Mason on English soil —
we may remember that amongst the Fellows of the Society in 1733, were, Dr.
Desaguliers, a Past Grand Master; Martin Folkes, Deputy Grand Master, 1724-25;
Dr. William Stukeley, the Antiquary, made a Freemason in 1721 ; and Dr. Richard
Rawlinson, the donor of valuable Masonic documents to the Bodleian Library at Oxford,^
a Freemason in 1726. John Byrom, too, of whose verse we hâve had spécimens, was a
Fellow of the Royal Society, and appears to be identical with John Byram, whose name
appears in the list of 1730 as member of a Ijodge held at the Swan, in Long Acre.
Bro. Annitage, at A.Q.C. xi., 116, tells us that, taking the list of Fellows of the Royal
Society in 1722, and the Grand Lodge MS. Lists of members of private Lodges in 1723,
1725 and 1730, there are 47 names apparently common to both ; and itis a mère truism
to observe that to associate Freemasonry with the Royal Society does not, presumably,
imply contempt for the former, but the contrary. Résides, about 1733, the social
position of the Craft was practically at its zénith for that period: the aristocracy
joined its ranks and took part in its assemblies, inclading the public processions which,
fifteen years after, came to an end under the attacks narrated by Bro. Dr. Chetwode
Crawley in his paper on " Mock Masonry in the Eighteenth Century," at A Q.G. xviii.,
29. In 1729, seven lords of high degree, besides the Earl of Kingston, G. M., are
recorded as walking in the ** Procession of March," and similar conditions obtained in
succeeding years. We hâve already seen that two heirs-apparent to the dukedom of
Chandos were Grand Masters somewhat later.
The author of " The Man of Taste " was James Bramston, who also wrote " The
Art of Politicks," and is credited with " The Crooked Sixpence," the latter being an
imitation of John Philips' " Splendid Shilling." Bramston was born in the last years
of the seventeenth century, graduated at Christ Churcli, Oxford, became Vicar of
Lurgashall in 1723, and in 1725 also of Harting, both in West Sussex. Little remem-
bered as his writings are now, his satires are described as "holding an honourable
place in eighteenth century verse,''^ and Dallaway's " History of Sussex" (1815), says he
was ** a man of original humour, the famé and proofs of whose colloquial wit are still
remembered in that part.** He died in 1744. His first- published work, ** The Art of
Politicks," contains two lines which hâve sometimes been quoted,
" What's not devoured by Time's devouring hand ?
Where's Troy, and where's the Maypole in the Strand ?"
" The Man of Taste " seems to bave retained its vogue to the end of the
eighteenth century, and passages from it adorn " The Life of James Lackington," the
bookseller (1791), and " Anecdotes of Hogarth " (1803) : from the latter work G. A. Sala
appears to bave taken the lines relating to Bononcini, as well as the blunder (which he
repeats) of giving the author's name as Brampton, instead of Bramston.
The poem bas two lines which are not unfamiliar, relating to the trial of King
Charles the First :

While yet two others bear very hardly upon traditioDal fathers o* the Craft :
" Sure wretched Wren was tanght by bungling Jones,
To murder mortar and disfigure stones."
And " The Man of Taste " terminâtes with tbe following strenuous commination :
" Thus from my birth l'm qualified, you find,
To give tbe laws of Taste to bumane kind.
Mine are tbe gallant scbemes of Politesse,
For books and buildings, politicks and dress.
Tbis is True Taste, and wboso likes it not,
Ts blockbead, coxcomb, puppy, fool, and sot."
Tbe passage in Bramston's poem baving référence to Freemasonry was not long
in being followed by a paraphrase in prose. *' The Man of Taste, or tbe Guardians, a
Comedy. As it is acted at tbe Théâtre Royal in Drury Lane, London," was first
published in 1735, with a third édition in 1744. Possessing little else to distingnish
the play from numerous productions of its kind, Act IV. bas a dialogue between two of
tbe characters, Martin and Reynard, wbo are lackeys engaged, by their masters*
orders, in personating individnals moving in a higher sphère, and for that purpose
assuming the naraes of Lord Apemode and Colonel Cockade. After much boasting of
their prowess and aocomplishments in war, music, dancing, gaming and fighting, they
proceed :
Martin : " As soon as I had finisbed settling with thèse polite aocomplishments,
I resolved to crown ail with a Smattering of Philosophy ; and for that purpose am now
Fellow of the Royal Society."
Beynard : " And I am a Free-Mason, which is the same thing, you know."
The adapter for the stage of Bramston's poetical satire was the James Miller
previously mentioned as author of *' Mr. Taste, the Poetical Fop," in dérision of
Alexander Pope. He was about fifteen years younger than Bramston, and died in the
same year, 1744. Miller was a member of Wadham Collège, Oxford, and after holding
clérical appoint ments in and near London, with in a year before bis death received the
living of Upcerne, Dorset, which bis father had held before him. It is said that Miller
took to dramatic authorship to increase bis income wben in London, but ofPended bis
Bishop by bis efforts in that direction. ** The Man of Taste " was produced at Drory
Lane Théâtre in Mai'ch 17i^6, and bas been described as " a successful mélange from
Molière." Miller appears to bave written eight or nine other plays, and bis death took
place on what was to bave been bis first benefit night of an adaptation from Yoltaire'a
" Mahomet " at Drury Lane.^
His comedy, " Tbe man of Taste," is throughout an imitation of Bramston's
poem ; for instance, Bramston w ri tes,
" In Figg, the Prize-fighter, by day delight,"
and one of Miller s characters exclaims,
" I bave fought Goodman Figg wûth ail his weapons."
Beyond the passages relating to Freemasonry in conjunction with tbe Royal
Society, there is nothing in either work — or, so far as I bave found, in the works of
either author— in any way referring, or relating, to the Craft.

•* The Man of Taste^' a Satire of 1733, 23^
Brotber Sadler tells me he finds nothing in the varions lists to show that either
Bramston or Miller were Freemasons, and we must assume, for tlie présent purpose,
they were not ; this may increase the likelihood of their allusions to Freemasonry indicat-
ing dislike or contempt, but, seeiug that the référence occurs only once in either poem
or play, it appears as though the allusion were rather accidentai than premeditated on
the part of Bramston, from whom Miller may be regarded merely as a copyist. I do not
overlook the fact that, at that period, élection to the Fellowship of the Royal Society
was not confiued to persons of proved scientific acquirements ; and the passage may
possibly be a double-thrnst at the Royal Society as well as at the Craft. But
Bramston was a beneficed Clergyman who in 1733 had been for ten years residing at
one of his two Sussex livings. He does not seem, like so many poets and poetasters of
the âge, to hâve possessed a patron for whom to write to order ; certainly he was not a
needy man, for the chancel of Lurgashall Church was rebuilt partly at his expense ; ^
and we hâve seen the good réputation which survived him in his own county. His
Works are at the most but three in number, and it would appear that he wrote in a
condition of more or less dignified ease, and for his own gratification ; possibly, also,
with no particular reluctance to accept such profit as might accrue to him from publica-
tion. Such a man, unless for reasons unknown to us, would hardly bepersonally hostile
to the leading scientific body of the day ; and his allusions to the Royal Society and to
Freemasonry hâve to be judged together. He was apt to call a spade a spade, and he
wrote plain and forcible lines, as you hâve heard, but we must not forget that thèse
express the sentiments of such a person as the ** Man of Taste " is intended to pourtray,
and not those of Bramston himself ; and also that the satire is not directed against the
pursuits themselves, but only against their exaggeration and misuse by pretenders
posing as connoisseurs. In 1733, publications hostile to the Craft were but few ;
Prichard's " Masonry Dissected," and the " Defence of Masonry," the reply to it by
Martin Clare, had been issued in 1730, and until "Masonry f arther Dissected " foUowed
in 1738 there was little to draw attention to Freemasonry beyond the public processions
and such like exoteric marks of its existence.
Taking ail circumstances together, I think we may fairly regard the lines referrîng
to the subject as a récognition by Bramston of Freemasonry as a reputable and even
meritorious pursuit, and not as intending any slur on his part upon the Craft or its
members.
Nine years after the publication of " The Man of Taste," Alexander Pope, who
had issued the first three books of the " Dunciad " in 1728, foUowed them, in 1742, with
the fourth book, containing yetone otherconjunction of the Craft and the Royal Society,
in the foUowing lines^ : —
** Next bidding ail draw near on bended knees,
The Queen confers her title and degrees.
Her children first of more distingnished sort,
Who study Shakespeare at the Inns of Court)
Impale a glow-worm, or vertu profess,
Shine in the dignity of F.R.S.,

Without accnsing Pope of plagiarîsm, it seems likely enongh fchat his allnsîou to
the Craft would not hâve been made but for the earlier lines by Bramston. How far
the appropriation of the latter's thème by Pope may affect the view I hâve ventured to
express as to the estimation in which Bramston held the Craft may well be open to
argument ; but the interval of several years, and the différence in the personalities and
tempéraments of Bramston and Pope, seem to me to place them in différent catégories ;
and even if it be thought that Pope*s lines were not written with charitable meaning, I
am not myself convinced that a conclusion in favour of Bramston need be altered or
modified in conséquence.
It is a coincidence that of persons whose names are mentioned in this paper,
four — the 6rst Duke of Ghandos, Alexander Pope, James Bramston and James
Miller — should ail hâve died in the same year, ITéé. Sic itur ad ahtra.
Bro. J. p. Simpson said : — Brethren, in reading throughBro. Hextall's interesting
Paper I come across one or two names which recall to my mind past researches into the
byways of Society in the eighteenth century.
With regard to the R-ev. James Bramston, the author of " The Man of Taste," one
can add but little to the varions biographical détails in the Paper. I hâve, however,
fonnd in a Book, mostly in manuscript, which I presented to the Lodge a few years ago,
another poem of Bramston's, entitled " The Prescription," and commencing : —
" H. — T. — N., old Friend, accept from me
The foUowing Rules without a fee."
This Book was probably owned by, and in the handwriting of Bro. Moses Mendez,
Grand Steward in 1738 (see A.Q.G,^ vol. xviii., pp. 104-109). Bro. Mendez was a minor
poet of some note, and a wrîter of Plays, and it would appear very probahle that he
was a friend of Bramston.
Another name I see quoted twice in the Paper is that of Dr. John Byrom (1692-
1762) and in the same little Book there are several of his poems in manuscript, amongst
othera the famous Jacobite toast given, "over the water": —
"God bless the King, God blessthe Faith's Defender,
God bless (what harm in blessing) the Pretender.
Who the Pretender is, and who the King,
God bless us ail, that's quite another thing."
The form in which this toast was given is, I think, preserved in one of onr
" Higher Degrees."
The Toast is preceded by a satirical poem commencing : —
" Arise 0 George, why sleepest thou P Awake 1 "
In another instance, namely, a Poem entitled " Rules for preaching," we find the
Author's name spelt Byram not Byrom, and this confirms the conjecture that the Doctor
was the Brother appearing in the list of 1730 as a Member of the Lodge held at the
Swan in Long Acre. Dr. Byrom was a native of Manchester, and a Graduate and

" The ifan of Taste,'' a Satire of 1733. 23?
afterwards Fellow of Trinity Collège, Cambridge. He seems io hâve been a prime
mover in ail the Jacobite intrigaes in the early part of the eighteenth centnry. It is
curious to note that in addition to conspiring and writing poetry, he claimed to be the
trae inventor of the art of shorthand writing. Possibly the ciphers used by the
Jacobites may bave suggested this to him. He had niany pnpils, amongst them Lord
Chesterfield, and thèse formed themselves into a Society and elected Byrom as first
" Grand Master."
One so often 6nds that Freemasons in the first part of the eighteenth centnry
were prononnced Jacobites, or friends or partizans of the exiled Family, that, apart from
other évidence, we are forced to the conclnsion that our Society was then identified with,
and held the views of that political Party. Nor do I think there was any discrédit in
their being the last to acknowiedge the change of dynasty, loyalty being then, as now,
one of the ancien t land marks of the Order.
One Word more as to Dr. Byrom. He wrote amongst other poems one containing
a curions argument that St. George was identical with Gregory the Great. This
suggested to my mind that possibly the Gregorians, — whose history Bro. Rylands gave
us at the last Meeting — might be the successors of the " Georgian Society," suppressed
I think about 1707. At any rate both were ardent supporters of the Hanoverian
Succession, and celebrated the " Glorious Révolution."
In the latter part of the Paper, Bro. Hextall bas given us some particulars of the
life of the Rev. James Miller, and a few further facts may be gleaned from the
" Biographica Dramatica," originally compiled in 1764 by David Erskîne Baker, and
re-edited in 1811 by Bro. Stephen Jones, P.M. of the Lodge of Antiquity, and Author
of Masonic Miscellanies, etc. Miller appears to hâve been unfortunate in his Plays, and
managed on every occasion to arouse the hostility of some powerf al person, or class of
persons. When at Oxford he wrote a Play — perhaps his best effort — entitled "The
Humours of Oxford," which exasperated the Dons. Later, in London, he brought out
one named " The Coffee Hoase," which equally incensed the Lawyers and Templars,
who expressed their détermination to attend and wreck any play of his if acted.
Ërskine Baker, I think, must hâve been a personal friend of Miller, as he adds a number
of détails of his wife and family, which are, however, not of gênerai interest.
I entirely agrée with Bro. Hextall that the quotations given in the Paper were
not meant to be derogatory to Masonry. I consider, for another reason, that it would
be extremely unlikely, for dramatists and actors in the eighteenth centnry. were in very
many instances Freemasons, drawn to our Society in a measure perhaps by the Ritual
being given in " a somewhat dramatic form," bat principally for a truer, stronger
reason, namely, the regard for those principles of Fraternity and Charity which hâve
always distinguished the Dramatic Profession.
Bro. Canon J. W. Horslet wrïtes : —
I bave ascertained défini tely that the Rev. Dr. Desaguliers was never Vicar or
Rector of Edgware, but that he was Rector of Stanmore Parva, alias "Whitchurch,
Middlesex (near Edgware), in the year 1730, but only for twelve months. This will
dispose of several inaccuracies in varions places. My authorities are the présent
incumbents of Edgware and Stanmore Parva, who bave searched their records.

Bro. W. J. HuGHAN lorïtes : —
I am very pleased with Bro. W. B. HextalFs paper on " The Man of Tasfce," and
consider it reflects mach crédit on hira for writing snch an interesting article with snch
slender sources and so fe>v facts for his guidance.
Any information that can be discovered relative to the Craft dnring the first
half of the Eighteenth Century is of great value, and I hope my friend will contînne
his well-directed researches.
Since the publication of our esteemed Past Master Conder's " Hole Crafte and
Fellowship of Masons " (ISQ-i) it cannot be truly said that Sir Robert Moray's admission
into the Craft at Newcastle-on-Tyne, on May 20th, 164!l, "w the earliest recorded
initiation of a non-ojperative Mason on English soiV^
The Records of the Masons' Company testify to the admission of many spécula-
tives some years prîor to IG41. "As early as 1620, and inferentially very much
earlier, there were certain members of the Masons' Company and others who met from
time to time to form a Lodge for the purpose of spéculative Masonry " (p. 9). This
class of gentleman were admitted to the Company, after joining the "Acceptance" or
Spéculative Lodge, and were called on to pay one pound each, representing the gratuity
extracted "from the apprentice when made free," besides the £3 fee and £6 Stewards'
fine, making £10 in ail. Bro. Conder quotes several instances of accessions tq the
" Acception " earlier than the year 1641.
Bro, W. WoNNACOTT writes : —
I hâve nothing to remark on the Satire nnder considération by Bro. Heztall, but
some of the characters mentioned in the course of the paper are deserving of doser
attention.
When Pope fired off his " Epistle on Taste," he was naturally shot at in return,
and Hogarth in particular showed little mercy in his biting caricatures. The plate by
Hogarth, ** Burlington Gâte," was issued as a frontispiece to a spurious édition or
re-issue in 1732 of the Epistle (to the Earl of Burlington) — and, in his private corre-
spondence, as well as in the public press, Pope indignantly repudiated his alleg^d
ridicule of the Duke of Chandos, his friend and patron, as we find on referring to his
letters to Lord Oxford, Aaron Hill, and to his friend Caryll, while there is also a
letter to the poet Gay, signed by his friend William Cleland, in the newspapers of the
day. It was Léonard Welsted, a venomous opponent of Pope, who published the
libellons statement that the Duke of Chandos was mentioned under the name of Timon,
with several other mendacities.
" FuU ten years slandered, did he once reply ?
**Three thousand suns went down on Welsted's lie."
says Pope (Epîstle to Dr. Arbuthnot, 374) ; and again he hits hard at him in the
Dunciad, III. 169 :—
" Elow, Welsted, flow, like thine inspirer. Béer,
" Tho' stale, not ripe ; tho* thin, yet never clearj
** So sweetly mawkish, and so smoothly dull ;
" Heady, not strong j o'erflowing, tho' not f uU.'*

. " The Man of Taste,'* a Satire of 1733, 239
The Duke of Chandos accepted Pope's explanation of the lines in the poem, which
were said to refer to Canons, and tbe two men lived together after ihis in the same
harmonions relations as before. " Thus gracions Chandos is belov'd at sight " is the
poet's référence to his noble acquaintance's nrbanity.
Hogarth's ** Taste of the Town " was afterwards changed to " Masqnerades and
Opéras — Burlington Gâte." " Masqnerades and Opéras " was a fine satire on ail the
contemporary follîes, and the best of the séries was his production aimed at the architect
painter, William Kent, the protégé of Lord Burlington, in which he is represented on
Burlington Gâte, supported by Kaphael and Michaelangelo. Kent was the rival of Sir
James Thornhill, whose daughter Jane, Hogarth subsequently married. It was Hogarth
who was instrumental in suppressing the shameleas piracies of the print-sellers of the
day, by assisting in the passing of " the Act " (8 Geo. ii., cap 13), in 1735, and from
this time the prints bore the now familiar legend, " According to Act of Parliament."
The références in a footnote to Pope as a Freemason deserve careful notice.
Since the passages noted were first printed, no further évidence bas corne to light bear-
ing on the connection of this worthy with the craft, and the conclusions of Bro. Dr.
Chetwode Crawley remain unassailed. The 'Alex. Pope' and * Jon. Swift* on the
roU of the Lodge held at the Goafc, at foot of the Haymarket (1730), must un-
doubtedly hâve been the poet and the Dean, both of them intimate associâtes and
colleagues of Dr. John Arbuthnot, of the Lodge at the Bedford Head, Covent Garden,
in 1725, and ail of them cronies of the Scriblems Club. Pope was so closely connectcd
with many of the nobility, and the foremost characters of the literary and artistic world,
that it is reasonable to présume that it is his name we see in the 1730 list of the
members of the Goat Lodge, and not that of a namesake who moved in a far inferior
circle, and whose only claim to notoriety was that of an eccentric rake. There is one
passage in Pope's Dunciad in which he mentions the four virtues known to us in con-
nection with the practice of every domestic as well as public virtue, and this passage
seems to point to some knowledge on his part of the moralisation which is impressed on
oiir newly-admitted brethren. They are represented hère in a distorted sensé, appro-
priate to the goddess of Dulness, as pillars of ber throne, but the connectiou referred to
is obvions : —
** In clouded Majesty hère Dulness shone ;
Four guardian Virtues, round, support her throne;
Fierce champion Fortitude, that knows no fears
Of hisses, blows, or want, or loss of ears :
Calm Tempérance, whose blessings those partake
Who hunger, and who thirst for scribblîng sake :
Prtidence, whose glass présents the approaching jail :
Poetic Justice, with her lifted scale,
Where, in nice balance, truth with gold she weighs.
And solid pudding against empty praise."
(Dunciad, Book i., 45.)
Giovanni Battista Bononcini was better known than is suggested by Bro. Hextall.
He was a rival of Handel, certainly, and well known at the time as a gif ted composer,
having published his first opéra, " Camilla," as early as 1720. He also set to music
some of Pope's words, — "Two choruses to the Tragedy of Brutus," performed at
Buckingham House. By his own clique he was declared to be infinitely superior to
Handel, but when he left London for some myeterious reason, the German was left in
sole possession of the musieal field.

The Cibbers. There were three of fchis name, father, son, and graDcLson. The
eldest, Caias Gabriel Cibber, 1630-1700, was the sculpter (foreman scalpfcor to Nicholas
Stone) and is the one referred to in Auderson's Constitutions of 1738 (p. 106), where
he is said to hâve been appointed S.G.W. in 1685 bj Sir G. Wren, Grand Master — " the
Lodges met andelected Sir Christopher Wren Grand Master, who appointed Mr. Gabriel
Cibber and Mr. Edward Strong, Grand Wardens, and while carrying on St. PauFs, he
annually met those brethren that could attend him to keep up good old usages." His
sculptures are well known, many spécimens of his work being found at Chats worth,
where for a long time he worked for William the 4th Earl and Ist Duke of Devonshire.
Wren commissioned him to exécute the large bas-relief panel of the Phœnix over the
south door of St. PauFs. He also did the bas-relief panels of the Monument on Fish
Street Hill. He died in 1700, and was buried in the Danish and Norwegian Church in
Well-close Sq^uare, Whitechapel, of which he was architect in 1696.
The second Cibber, Colley Cibber, jun., (1671-1767) was the eldest son of the
sculpter, and was born in Southampton Street, Bloomsbury. He was a member of the
Lodge which first met in 1730 at the Bear and Harrow, Butcher Row, Temple Bar, (the
Corner Stone Lodge, now No. 5) of which in 1731 Dr. Desaguliers, Past G. M., William
Hogarth the painter, and James Quin the actor, were also members. Needless to say
hewas the hero of the later éditions of Pope's ** Dunciad."
The third Cibber was Theophilus, the grandson, of no particular importance.
Desaguliers — private chaplain to the Duke of Chandos — is too well-known a
figure in the masonic world of the day to be dealt with hère in détail. " Prom the Duke
he received the living of Edgware," we are not sure of this, it may hâve been the
adjoining parish of Stanmore Parva, now known as Whitchui'ch. One authority,
Nichols (in his " Literary Anecdotes," vi., 81) says Desaguliers was appointed to the
living of Edgware in 1714; another, Lysons, (in his "Environs of London," iii., 674)
states that he was vicar of Whitchurch in 1714 — while the minutes of the Lodge of
Edinburgh (24th August, 1721) describe him as " Chaplain-in-ordinary to his Grâce
James, Duke of Chandois," on the occasion of his visit to that Lodge when he had
recently retired from the position of Grand Master (of England), and altho' a P.G.M.,
was " duly examined before being admitted," so that there appears to be a great deal of
confusion as to his preferment. But there is a probability that du ring his connection
with the Duke of Chandos he formed a Lodge at Edgware, which is mentioned in the
1723 Engraved List of Lodges, ** a Lodge at Edgeworth, at the Duke of Chandos
Arms every Thursday " — which is evidently an error for Edgware. It was inaugurated
25th April, 1722, and removed in 1730 to the " Devil Tavern, within Temple Bar,"
and was finally erased in April, 1744.
Canons Park was a really magnificent structure, although so short-lived, and is
interesting to members of the Quatuor Coronati Lodge because the summer outing in
1890, organised by our late Bro. Speth, was to this district, when visits were paid to
Whitchurch, Edgware Church, and perhaps to the Chandos Arms also. Of the
enormous cost we are aware, and we are told one of the ablest accountants in England
superintended the expenses, while three architects were employed on the work. There
are several descriptions of the mansion ; Defoe describes it in his ** Tour through Great
Britain," 1724; also Gildon, in his poem of 1717, "Chandos, or the Vision," and S.
Humphreys', 1728, " Chandos." The materials when sold by the auctioneer Cook were
widely scattered, the staircase, with its massive marble steps — about 24ft wide (said to
hâve cost £ôO,000), is now in Chesterfield House, May f air. The " fine toned organ hj
Jordan " still exists in Trinity Church, Gosport ; a typical fireplace is to be found in the

Chandos Arms, Edgware ; the stained glass Windows of the private chapel went to Great
Malvern, while the gilt equestrian statue of George I. stood for many years in Leîcester
Fields.
The church of Stanmore Parva (Whitchurch) was rebuilt in 1716, the satne year
that Canons was commenced, and was similar in style to the private chapel, and the
same artists were employed on both works.
The Earl of Burlington referred to as the bitter rival of James Brydges, first
Duke of Chandos (1673-1744), was the third of that name. The first Earl was
Richard Boyle, 2nd Earl of Cork (died .15th January, 1698), who was made an Bnglish
peer in 1644, as Baron Clifford of Lanesborough, and in 1664, for having assisted
Charles II. with large sumsof money, he was created Earl of Burlington, or Bridlington,
in the West Riding of Yorks. He was succeeded by his grandson, the second Earl of
Burlington, and 3rd Earl of Cork, who died 1703.
The third and last Earl, the one under notice, Richard Boyle, fourth Earl of Cork,
was born 1695, succeeded to the title in 1703 and died 1753. He himself was a noted
arohitect, and there is no doubt (among those acquainted wilb his works) that if he had
been born in a humble station, his attainments would hâve lifted him into a high rank
certainly with Inigo Jones, and probably with Wren himself. He preserved and
restored the church of St. PauFs in Covent Garden and the York Gâte on the Thames
Embankment ; he built the Dormitory of Westminster, completed in or about 1733,
while among the other works that are due to his taste are the Assembly Rooms at York,
Kirby Hall, also in Yorkshire, Chiswick House, and Burlington House, Piccadilly.
Among those now destroyed are General Wade's house in Cork Street, Lord Harrington's
House at Petersham, and the Duke of Richmond's in Whitehall.
The Dormitory of Westminster is his best preserved, but least known work. For
this Wren prepared designs in 1718-19 but they were never carried ont by him, as he
died in 1723, the year in which the building was commenced. On January Ist, 1723, we
iind in the Westminster records the folio wing entry : — " Resolved that Dr. Brodrick do
** wait on the Right Honourable the Earl of Burlington, and in the name of the Dean and
*' Ohapter return their humble thanks to his Lordship for the care and trouble he bas
" already taken in building the Collège Dormitory, and désire his lordship that he would
" be pleased to proceed with the same according to his Lordship's plan."
Chiswick House was built by him in 1729 on the site of an old house bought in
1685 by the First Earl, wbo pulled it down in 1688.
Burlington House (now the Royal Academy) was an older house refronted by
him, and a striking and solitary exception to the bastard and commonplace work of the
period.
Sir William Chambers described it (with ail its faults) as " one of the finest
pièces of architecture in Europe."
Gay's Ettlogy describes it : — *' Beauty within ; without, proportion reigns."
Colin Campbell took the crédit for this, and Walpole contemptuously rejects his
claim. The colonnade in front was removed when the présent Royal Academy was
housed there, and the stones left to decay on the river bank.
The Earl was a very modest man but of great taste aud refînement aud has left
us a nnmber of his drawings, signed " Burlington — architectus." He was a studious
admirer of Inigo Jones, who died nearly half-a-century prier to the Earl's own birth.
A bound volume of Vitruvius (Venice 1567) is in the British Muséum, con-
taining numerous notes in the writing of Inigo Jones, as stated at the end of the book
in a mémorandum in the hand writing of the Earl of Burlinçton himself. Willian^

and thns Chiswick and itsheirlooms came into the Cavendish family. It is owing to
this alliance that we now bave prcserved to us that remarkable collection of drawings by
Burlington and his contemporaries, with a collection of Falladio's designs, that was
hauded over iu 1834 by the late Duke of Devoashire to the keeping of the Royal
Institute of British Architects, to be known to posterity as the " Burlington — Devon-
shire Collection." If anyone doubts the leai*ning, taste, refinement and originality of
the 3rd Earl of Burlington he should make acquaintance with the portfolios of this
collection.
Remarks were alao made by Bros. Dr. S. Walshe Owen and the W.M., and a
hearty vote of thanks was unanimously passed to Bro. Hextall for his interesting paper.
Bro. Hextall writes in repîy : —
1 much appreciate the vote of thanks, and am pleased to find my paper has
elicited so much interesting comment.
Bro. Dr. Chetwode Crawley has kindly conveyed to me his view that Bramston
was not impelled by admiration for the Craft, and that the latter's mention of it was in
truth ironical.
I am under obligation to a Derbyshire brother^ for the reminder that probably
the best known work of John Byrom is the hymn,
*' Christians awake ! sainte the happy morn
Whereon the Saviour of the world was born ; "
which was first sung by choristers from the Parish Church of Manchester, at Kersal
Cell (Byrom's family seat), on Christmas Eve, 1750. The MS. is in the Cheetham
Library at Manchester, and is headed, *' Christmas Day for Dolly," having been written
as a Christmas gift for a little daughter of the author.
A further search through the works of Alexander Pope has resulted in finding
another allusion to the Craft, and 1 believe thèse two passages comprise the whole of
his références to Freeraasonry. In the "Epistle to Dr. Arbuthnot"^ (1734)occur the
lines,
" Whom bave I hurt ? has Poet yet, or Peer,
Lost the arch'd eye-brow, or Parnassian sneer ?
And has not Colley still his Lord and Wh . . e ?
His Butchers Henley, his Free-masons Moore ? "
and, later on, are the following separated lines : —
** Has drunk with Cibber, nay, has rhym'd for Moore,"
" Hear this ! and spare his family, James Moore.*'
* Bro. Joseph Bland, P.Pr.G.D. ; see also Rev. Dr. Julian's Dictionary of Eymnology, London,
1907.

" The Man of Taste;' a Satire of 1733. 245
The allusiuus to Colley Cibber and " Orator " Henley^ are sufficientlj obvious.
James Moore, 1702-1734, was a short-lived littérateur who formally assumed the
additional name of Smythe under the will of bis grandfather, and with whom Pope
qaarrelled violently over an alleged misappropriation of verses in a comedy, the ** Rival
Modes," which Moore wrote for Drury Lane Théâtre. The only feature I need notice
is that more than one publication which followed bore the familiar imprint, " J. Roberts
in Warwick Lane," whose Press seems to hâve been largely patronisedbyrecriminating
anthors. James Moore Smythe was a Freemason, and bis name appears as Grand
Warden at the Assembly and Feast held in 1732 and also in the following year.
We are indebted to Bro. Canon Horsley for bis trouble in settling the hitherto
moot point as to Dr. Desaguliers' preferments, which is referred to in the account of the
Summer Outing of the Lodge in July 1890, at A.Q.O. iii., 113, where some interesting
détails are given of Canons, Whitchurch, etc.
Bro. Hughan's fraternal criticism with regard to Sir Robert Moray's admission
into the Craft, in 1641, is thankfully received and will be faithfuUy remembered.
Instead of " the earliest recorded initiation of a non-operative mason on English soil,"
I shonld bave written (to quote Bro. Haghan's words in A.Q.O, x., 129) "The earliest
initiation in England of which a Lodge minute is extant."
Bro. Wonnacott's remarks on Hogarth*s "Burlington Gâte" arie principally
directed to the print known as " Barlington Gâte No. 1," published in 1724, and
called by G. A. Sala "the Taste of the Town, otherwise the first Burlington Gâte— not
the Pope and Chandos one." The print mentioned by me in the paper was " Burlington
Gâte No. 2," published in 1731, also koown as " The Man of Taste, or Burlington Gâte,"
and now hère reproduced. Amongst Hogarth*s miscellaneous prints is a " f rontispiece
to ' the Humours of Oxford,' a Comedy by the Rev. James Miller " ; the play alluded to
by Bix). Simpson.
Since the reading of this paper in Lodge, on October 2nd, "De Libris," by
Mr. A us tin Dobson, bas been published by Macmillans. I bave not as yet had the
advantage of its perasal, but I learn from reviews that amongst its contents is what
will no doubt prove an interesting andinforming essay on " James Bramston, theauthor
of ' The Man of Taste.' "
> A paragraph in Read's Joarnal, 9bh Jane, 1733, asserbs that " bhey [the Freemasons] hâve also

HENRY YVELE, THE KING'S MASTER MASON.
(1320—1400.)
BV BRO. W, WONNACOTT.
\.^
^
i
r^
^,
N -4.Q.6\, xxi., 65, I notice Bro. Dr. Begemann quotes Stow's mention
of this worthy from the ** Sarvey of London " (éditions 1598 and
1603), and from this statement infers that the title " freemason to the
King " was applied to and possibly used by Yvele daring his lifetime.
Although Stow says " his monument reraaineth," he does not record
the inscription, and no transcript of the epitaph hasbeen handed down
to us. Strype, in his édition of Stow, gives a few extracts from Yvele's will.
Master Henry Yvele, " mason, citizen and freeman," was a noted craftsman of
the latter half of the fourteenth century, and, as he was engaged on numerous works of
great importance as Master Mason to the King, particalarly the Abbey Church and the
Great Hall of Westminster, a brief sketch of his career may be of interest.
" We read King Edward m. had an Officer call'd the King's Free-Mafon^
" or Général' Survey or of his Buildings, whose Name was Henry Yevele,
" employ'd by that King to build several Abbies, and St. Stephen's
" Chappel at Westminster j where the House of Gommons now sit iu
" Parliament." (Anderson's Gonstitutiotis, 1723, p. 31.)
In the 1738 édition Andersen varies this statement. Yvele is there mentioned
as one of several deputies or Masters of work to Edward III., " A Royal Grand Master."
" 4. Henry Yevele (call'd at first, in the old Records, the King's Free-
** Ma/on) built for the King the London Char 1er -house ^ King's'Hall Vam-
" bridge, Queenborough Castle, and rebuilt St. Stephen's Chapel, now the
" House of Gommons in Parliament.'* (p. 70.)
There is no trace in ihe records I hâve searched, of his work at either the Gharter-
house or at Gambridge, and it is improbable that here-built St. Stephen*s Ghapel. That
work was begun in 1330, for the Westminster Records tell us : —
" May 27, 1330. To Master Thomas the Mason, coming first to West-
** minster and beginning there npon the New Ghapel of St. Stephen's,
" * et intrasura super moldas operanti * — for his wages for six days, by
" order of the Lord Treasurer and Gonncil, 6s."
This was Master Thomas of Ganterbury who commenced the work, receiviog, as
we see by the accounts, a weekly wage of 6s.
Yvele's cognomen appears in many guises and picturesque forms, ranging from
Yeule, Yevele, Yvele, de Yeeveele, Iveleghe, Zyveley and Zeveley. The initial Z in the
last two forms is inexplicable, unless the s is prononnced as among the Geltic races, with
the Sound of y, as in Gilzean, Dalzell, etc., but from the remainder I gather his name was
prononnced " Iveleigh " or " Eveleigh," and not as it looks, " Yeeve-leigh," or as " Yewell,'*
or " Yew-leigh." I am inclin ed to prefer the first of thèse forms. We know his father*8
and mother's names to hâve been Roger and Marion, as they are mentioned in his will,
but we hâve no other record of his parentage, and nothiug as to his place of birth. He
was probably born in the year 1320, and was twice married.

Seriry Yvele, the Kincfs Mdster Mason. 245
Teinp, Edward III.
Master Henry Yvele appears first as the colleagne, and later the snccessor on the
Royal Works at the Palace of Westminster, of Thomas of Gloncester, who, in 1355, is
mentioned (alone) as working on the Chapel of St. Sfcephen. In 1358 and 1359 he is
again noticed as in charge of the Palace works, being called " Cementarius and appau'itor
working and ordering masons work," and doubtless was the King's chief Master Mason
at that time.^
Yvele must even then, at the âge of 36, hâve been a person of eminence in his
Craft, and perhaps of importance ontside it, for in the thirtieth year of Edward III.
(1356) a dispute among the Masons was settled at tbe instance of the Lord Mayor of
Londou, beforo the Court of Aldermen, by 12 arbiters, and the articles agreed on were
signed by six of them ** on behalf of the Mason hewers " (or Freestone Masons), and six
" on behalf of the Layers or Setters." The deed of arrangement consisted of eight
articles in French, and from a translation in Conder's Hole crafte and fellowship of
Masons^ I quote the following : —
"Whereas Simon Frannces, Mayor of the City of London, bas been given to
** understand that divers dissensions and disputes bave been moved in the said City,
" between the masons who are hewers, and the masons who are setters or layers, ....
" caused ail the good folk of the said trade to be summoned before him, to hâve from
" them good and due information how their trade might be best ordered and ruled for
" the profit of the common people," etc. Among the names " on behalf of the Mason
hewers " occurs that of Henry de Yeeveele.
On behalf of the Mason Hewers. On behalf of the Layers or Setters.
Walter de Sallynge. Richard Joyce.
Richard de Sallynge. Symon de Bartone.
Thomas de Bredone. John de Estone.
John de Tyryngton. John Wylot.
Thomas de Gloucester.^ Thomas Hardegray.
Henry de Yeeveele (or Yevele). Richard de Cornewaylle.
After the mention of his name in the jury list of 1356 just referred to, we nexfc
meet him in 1362, a document in the Exchequer accounts naming him with two other
Craf tsmen : —
Mistre W"* Herland, chief carpenter (died in 1375) .^
Henry Yvele, deviser of masonry,
and William of Wickham, clerk *
(Excheq. a/cs. 472, 10 and 8.)
We learn from the will of the William Herland hère alluded to that he lived in
the parish of St. Peter's, PauFs Wharf, and was buried in his parish church. (Sharpe's
Calendar of London Wills.) His brother, Hugh Herland, was also living on the sonth
side of Thames Street, and both thèse Herlands were near neighbours of Henry Yvele,
who owned some property in this and the adjoining parish. (See Anno 1384)
In 1365 Henry de Yvele was Master Mason of the King's works at the Palace of
Westminster, working under Nicolas Litlington (Abbot in 1362, died 29th November,
* Exchequer Accounts, 471—9, 15, 16.

In 1370 he was granted Is. a day for the term of his natural life, and on the accession
of Richard II. this latter grant was confirmed. (See Anno 1378.)
We find during the period he was Master Mason at Westminster he sapplied
materials for the works, as well as super vising them, one entry during the year 1365
being as foUows : —
" 7000 Flanders tiles bought for the pavements of the courts and other
** works at 6s 8d. the 1000, and six mouncells of plaister of Paris at 12s.
" the mouncell." ^ ^
In the following year, 1366, he snpplied some of the stone for the works at
Roches ter Castle.
** 18 tons of Stapleton freestone at 8s. a ton : and 32 tons of Thomas
" Fitz-John.*' »

" Paid to He-nry de Yeflee, for 13 tons of Stapleton freestone bonght of
" him for the said works, at 8s. per ton. £1 18s. Od."
How the amount is made up it is diffîcult to see.
There is also an item in the same account (1368),
" To Master William Herland for four little brass wheels to put in the
" hoisting engines for drawing up the stone and timber. £0 13s. 4d.
Edward III. began about this time to expérience a shortage of skilled labour, and
in the year 1371 Henry Y vêle, Cementarias, was " sent to varions parts to retain divers
" masons to be sent in the retinue of the King beyond seas," and " In money delivered
** to him, by his own hands, for the wages of twenty 6ve masons, coming to London,
** there dwelling and awaiting the passage and will of the King for nine days, each of
" them receiving 6d. per day, by command of the Chancellor, Treasurer, and others of
" tho Council, by a gênerai writ of Privy Seal, amongst the mandates of Michaelmas
" Term, last past, £5 12s. 6d."* William de Wynford, Cementarius, was charged at
this time with a similar mission ; he became architect to William of Wykeham at
Winchester Cathedral and Collège.
Temp, Richard IL
On the Ist of July, 1377, we find Y vêle was then tenant in possession of the
manor of Langeton, in the Isle of Purbeck, and on his réquisition an inspeximus was
granted of the record in Chancery of the liberties of that manor, as determined by quo
warranta before the King's Justices at Sherbourn in the 6th year of Edward I.^ This
appears to indicate further that, in addition to being a mason of eminence, Henry Yvele
was also a quarry owner.

Henry Tvele^ the King*s Master Mason. 247
In 1377 Richard II. succeeded to the throne, and Yvele received from his royal
master a patent to take Masons and put them on the King^s works at the Palace and
the Tower, with power to imprison the disobedient.
In 1378 another patent from the King — naming him " Director of the Works in
** the Art of Masonry at the Palace and Tower in the late reign " — confirmed the grant
which he had received in 1370 of Is. a day for life. In this year he and his colleagne,
William de Wynford, were directed to take Masons, and set them to work at
Sonthampton.
In 1380 four eminent city craftsmen were appointed a Committee of Defence, to
consider the proposai of erecting a fortified tower on either bank of the Thames, with a
chain boom to protect the shipping in the Pool. Thèse fonr were (1) William
Walworth, (2) John Worthampton, (3) Nicholas Twyford, goldsmith, and (4) Henry
Yevele.^
In the following year, 1381, Henry Yvele was again commissioned to impress
thirty stone-cntters (latomos)' for service in Brittany. At this time he designed the
south aisle of St. Danstan's Chnrch in Thamea Street, near which he resided. In an
agreement of this year, betweon John Lord Cobham and Nicholas Typerton, mason, the
latter nndertakes to build the aisle of this church " selon la devyse de Mestre Henry
Iveleghe." The indenture is still preserved in the British Museam, and is dated the
eve of Christmas, 5 Rich. II.*
Daring this same year he received from Lord Cobham, at Michaelmas, the sum
of £20, due to Thomas Wrewk, mason, and William Sharndale, for the works in course
of exécution at Cowling Castle, near the confluence of the Medway and Thames ; and,
in the course of the following year, under the date of the 23rd of July, he was again
employed to measure and value the work at this place donc by William Sharnhale,
which amounted to £156, of which the sum of £275 10s. 4d. was that day paid. In
both documents he is designated *' Masoun et citezein de Loundres."
The former document exists in the Surrenden Collection of Papers, and was
printed in the Freemasons* Magazine, May 1862. It is as follows : —

In 1383 Yvele was one of several surveyors for making a bridge at Stroud. His
friend, Henry Herlaud of Thames Street, was, like himself, granted r2d. daily, with a
robe once a year, as he (Herland) was " verging on old âge.**
Yvele, by letters patent dated 20th Feb. 1383-4, under the désignation of
" Henrïcus Yevele latomus,*' was conOrmed in the possession of two shops and 4s. yearly
rent, in the parish of St. Martin Oteswiche (or Outwich), formerly the property of
Master Excestre, and which he had recently purchased of John Totenham, carpenter.
Nichols explains^ this confirmation was rendered necessary by the action of certain
rivais who endeavoured to procure the escheatment of the property to the Crown. The
King's favour in the matter was conceded in considération of the great labours which
the said Henry daily sustained in the royal service. " Nos de gracia nosira speciali ad
** supplicacionem prefali Henrici, consideracione magnorum laborum quos ipse in
" servicio nostro indies sustinet, statum quem ipse in shopis &c. &c.'* The original
patent, with the seal in white wax, is preserved in the British Museum.2
The John of Totenham above referred to was appointed City Carpenter in 1365,
and was the son of another John do Totenham, sworn in 1325 as a surveyor of tenements
in the City in place of Adam de Rothynge (Letter Book E). In 1363 the younger John
of Totenham was sworn as a member of the commission of surveyors for the City,
consistingof himself and Richard de Salopia, (lateronhe was called Richard Shropshire

Henry Yvele, the King*8 Master Mason, 249
1369) carpenters, and Bichard de Salynge (one of the Mason Hewers named on p. 245
ante) and Richard at Cherche, masons.
From a list of properfcy belonging to London Bridge we find that a tenement held
by Henry Yvele, mason, was sifcaate bekween the street on the east and the Oyster Gâte
on the west, and was subject to a charge of 6s.^
A further detailed description of Yvele*s property at London Bridge will be
foand in bis will, to be given presently.
By an indenture dated 20th April. 7 Rich. II. (1383) between Henri Yevele,
citizen and mason of London, of the one part, and William Palmere, citizen and horse-
dealer (merchant des chiveaiix) of the same city, and Isabella his wife,^ of the other,
the former party gave to the latter a yearly rent of 408. issuing from his lands and
teneraents in the parish of St. Martin Oteswiohe, on condition that if Margaret the wife
of Henry^ should survive her husband, and ask her dower of a tenement with four
shops, together with 4s. of quit rent issuing from the tenements once belonging to
John Tudenham carpenter, which the said William and Isabella held for tbeir lives,
of the grant and lease of the said Henry by the service of 20s. per annum, then the
said annuity should be in force, but other wise void.*
The accounts of the year 1388 kept by Brother Peter Coumbe, Keeper of the new
work of the Church at Westminster, of ail receîpts and expences from tbe Vigil of St.
Michael, 11 Richard IL to the same f east in next year, speaks of " Wages of three
" labourers breaking down the walls of the old church " ; and we see that Yvele was
employed on the nave works, which heprobably designed. The same account refers to ,
the " Fee of Master Yevelee, chief mason, 100 shillings per annum, and for his robes and
" furs, 15 shillings ; do. of Robert Kentbury, 13s. 4d. : tunic of Thomas Padington, lOs."
"Five masons for 17 weeks (£15 Us. 8d.), one for 5 weeks, 6 labourers for 17
" weeks at 20d. each, four bedders of stone for three weeks, three others for four weeks,
" two others for ten weeks."
** 4,400 sacks of slacked lime, 52 carts of sand, luncheons for the masons,
" bedders and labourers, 238."
The other item, 13s. 4d. to Robert Kentbury, refers to an undermaster to
Henry Yvele, and in 1381 we find he held a croft at Westminster so he must
hâve been permanently engaged there.*
In 1390 Yvele was exempted from jury service and similar civic duties in con-
sidération of being the King's mason and Surveyor of the Works within the Palace of
Westminster etc., and "on account of his great âge." (Calendar Patent Rolls). His life
pension of Is. a day, granted in 1370 and 1378, was cancelled, as he was now a man of
property, and the King had granted him the manors of Fremworth and Vannes in
Kent. Geoffrey Chaucer was appointed in this year ** Clericus Operationum " of the
Royal Palaces, (Patent 13 Richard IL), so Yvele and his colleague, Henry Herland, must
bave been in close contact with him on thèse works.
In the year 1394 he is mentioned as " Henry Zyveley," and at that time was still
chief mason at Westminster, and probably remained there in charge of the nave and
lower part of the west front down to the date of his death, somewhere in 1400. The
west porcb carried out under bim closely resembles that of Westminster Hall, and of
Winchester Cathedral.

In this year the queen of Richard lî., Anne of Bohemîa, died, and was burîed on
the south side of the Confessor's Chapel. We still hâve two agreements, in the fîrst of
which, dated tho Ist of April, Henry Yvele and Stephen Lote "Citiens et Maçons de
Londre " nndertook to well and faithfullj erect and carve a torab of fine marble like to
that of Edward III., which it adjoins, and according to a model bearing the seal of the
Treasurer of England, tobe completed within two years from Michaelmas 1395 for the
aura of £250, with £20 additional, *' if it gave satisfaction "^ It was to " occupy in
"length ail the space between the pillars where the said Queen was interred," and
to be raised to the same height as the tomb of King Edward III.

The bronze figures, or images, for the tomb *to cost £400, are mentioned in
another agreement with Nicholas Broker and Godfrey Best, copersmythes of London.
This tomb is precisely like that of Edward III. in ail respects but its width, being a
trifle wider as it supports two effigies instead of only one. The total cost £670, represents
about £10,000 of our money.
As the resemblance both in workmanship and materials between the two tombs
of Richard II. and Edward III. is so remarkably close, there can be little donbt that
Yvele had the larger share in both^ ; and also in the tomb of Archbishop Langham (o6.
1376) ; this we know was undoubtedly the work of Henry Yvele and Stephen Lote also,
for araong the Westminster papers is preserved the receipt for £20 on account of this
tomb* and for which Yvele executed the busfc of the Archbishop. Sir Gilbert Scott
mentions, in his Gleanings from Westminster Ahhey^ an item under the year 17-18
Richard II. (1394), ** wages £86 Ils. 6d. of Henry Zyveley, chief mason, with six

** Paid for a marble column £70 ; carriage of same from the Thames 10s."

gîven in his " Westminster Abbey," p. 215. A plan of this is in " Dugdale's Monas-
ticon" dated 1682, but cannot be reconciled with the view given by Hollar, probably
having been altered in the interval between the two dates.
The walls of Westminster Hall, Yvele's last and greatest work, were now arising
from the ground under his supervision, but as he was of great âge, Watkin Waldon was
associated with him in the work of his design, and his friend Henry Herland, the
master carpenter, was executing the magnificent roof. Richard II. had issued letters
patent, dated 21st January, 1394, to John Godmerstone, clerk,appointinghimto" repair
** the Great Hall within the palace of Westminster, to take masons, carpenters, and
" other workmen, and set them to the said repairs, &c."
An interesting document, dated the 18th March, 18 Rich. II. (1395) only a fort-
night previous te the indenture concerning the tomb of the Queen, refers to the works
of Westminster Hall, and apparently gives Henry Yevele a status superior to that
which he previously occupied. It is an agreement between the King on one part, and
Richard Washbourn and John Swalwe, masons, on the other, for making well and
faithfuUy ail the tahle ôf the walls of the Great Hall within the Palace of Westminster,
on one side and the other, raising them for two feet of assise, and inserting 26 souses^ or
corbels, of Caen stone.
The work was to be done according to the purport of a form and model made by
the advice of Master Henri Zeveley, and delivered to the said masons by Watkin
Waldon, his warden.
" Selonc le purport d'une fourme et molde
" faite par conseil de niestre Henri Zeveley."^
Taking this, with the référence to the word *' devyse " already given of the aislo of St.
Dunstan's Church, it can only be concluded that Yvele was the designer of both works,
as in each case other masons were employed to exécute the structures under his
direction.
He appears to bave worked also at varions times on the King's Hall at Cam-
bridge, and at Queenboro* Castle, the latter, though, is by some attributed to William
of Wykeham, for which there appears to be no authority. It is probable also that he
worked for Sir John Beauchamp.

Temp. Henry IV,
In the accession year of the fonrth Henry, (1399) Henry Yvele mnst hâve been
almosfc incapable of work by reason of his advanced âge, and now passes ont of notice. His
will, which mentions him as '* mason, citizen, and freeman, parishioncr of St. Magnns,
London Bridge," w&a proved in 1400, and he was bnried in the church of tbat parish
where Stow fonnd his tomb, and apparently quotes the inscription. Froin his will it
appears that he built his own tomb in St. Magnns. The execators he appointed were
John Clifford, mason, Stephen Lote, mason, his partner and coUeagne at Westminster,
and others. Clifford was, with Yvele himself and his wife Katherine, a party to a
deedof 1389 still preserved, and must bave also been a partner with Yvele in his
nnmerous works. Yvele's will is dated 25th May, 1 Hen. IV. (1400), and is enrolled
in the'Conrt of Hnstings at Gaildhall, by John Clifford, mason, and Martin Seman,
Clerk, two of his executors.^ He devised a tenement with bouses, shops, <fcc., on Oyster-
gate, in the parish of St. Magnns at London Bridge, parchased 43 Edw. III. of the
execators of John Lovekyn, once Mayor of London, and certain tenements with a quay
adjoining Fish Wharf at the Hole in the aforesaid parish of St. Magnas, parchased 14
Bich. II. of John Horn of Northfleet late citizen and fishmonger of London, and also
another tenement with a qaay adjoining annexed to the said Fish Wharf within the
Hole aforesaid on the east part once belonging to Thomas Osbern son and heir of
Gosselin de Clyve and afterwards to William Polie fishmonger, parchased of John
Devene and his fellows 17 Rich. IL and an annual rent of 13s. 4d. ont of a corner tene-
ment sitnate npon Oyster Hill opposite the church of St. Magnns and in the said parish
parchased of John Southcote esq 21 Rich II : ail which he devised to Katherine his
then wife for her life, on considération she remained sole and unmarried and that she
should provide two sufficient chaplains to celebrate divine service at the altar of St.
Mary in the said church of St. Magnns during ail her life for his soûl and the soûls of
his late wife Margaret, Roger and Marion his father and mother, his brother and sisters,
his lord King Edward III, Sir John Beanchamp knt., John Haket, and ail to whom be
was in dnty bound, and ail faithful soûls.
And after decease of said Katherine or her not keeping sole, nor maintaining
such two chaplains, he devised ail the said promises to Sir William Frankish parson
or rector of St. Magnns and his snccessors and to Edmund Bolton and Peter Blake
wardens of the fabric of the said church and their snccessors for ever for maintaining
two chaplains to celebrate divine service at the said altar of St. Mary for the soûls as
aforesaid and to maintain a laïup perpetually buming day and night before the
salutation of the blessed Mary in the aforesaid Chapel and to pay yearly to the parish
clerk 12d. for keeping and lighting the said lamp when necessary and to the rector of
the said parish 2s. yearly for saying or singing with the said chaplains placebo and
dirige^ cum nota^ and one mass on the testator's anniversary for his soûl and the soûls
aforesaid and 5s. yearly among ail the other chaplains of tho said church to hâve his
sonl and the soûls aforesaid in their memory, and to the master clerk of the said church
12d. and to his under-clerk 8d. to do their offices in due manner as to a year's mind
belongs ; and for bread or victuals and drink 6s. 8d. to be spent among the parishioners
coming to his dirige in the night and lus. among the poor to pray for the soûls afore-
said, and 3s. 4d. for two new wax candies burning, one to wit at bis head and another
at his feet at the time of his anniversary, and afterwards to burn before the image of
St. Mary in the said chapel so long as they lasted.

And he willed that the said two chaplains should receive at the hands of the said
rector and wardens £14 yearly ont of the rente of the said tenements, id est, each of
them £7 for their salary or stipend.
And if it should please the rector and parishioners to charge the chaplains of tho
said church or their compétent assistants to say daily a mass of St. Mary with note, or
on every Saturday he desired his said two chaplains might hâve the appointment and
also to assist in singing nightly the anthem called Salve Regina with note before the
same altar, with saying a coUect and de profundis, The two chnrch- wardens to receive
for this service yearly 13s. 4d.
If his tenements, Ac, were hereafter let at an advanced rent the excess was to be
placed in a box for their repair. In case of failure of his foundation at St. Magnas the
income to be transferred to the use and maintenance of London Bridge, and to find two
chaplains in the Bridge Chapel. He desired that Thomas Hoo, his chaplain, might be
one of the said two chaplains, and that he should not be bound to be présent at the said
canonical hoars nor other charges aforesaid except according to his power.
To Katherine his wife he left for life his tenement called la Glene in the parish
of St. Magnus, and ail his teqements in Basynglane and Cordwaner Street in the parish
of St. Martin Otyswiche provided she keptherself sole, otherwise slie to hâve her dower
only ; the reversion (when accruing) to be sold and the money to be distributed for the
benefit of his soal and the soûls aforesaid in celebrating masses, distributiug to the poor,
mending of ways, marriage of poor maids, and other deeds of charity.
His wife Katherine to hâve also for life ail his lands, &c., at Wenyngton and
Alvythele or elsewhere in Essex, with ail his store alive and dead ; the reversion as
before and especially in aid of the rebuildiug of the old isle where the sick poor be
within the church of the hospital of St. Thomas the Martyr of South wark ; but be
wished that Isabella his wife*s sister should hâve for life that mansion in which she
lived in the said parish of St. Martin Otyswiche rent free.
He appoints as executors his wife Katherine, John Clifford mason, Stephen Lote
mason, Bichard Parker his cousin and Martin Seman clerk, and as overseer John
Warner alderman.
Yvele's successor at the abbey works was Master William of Colchester, " chief
mason," who was receiving in the year 1399 and subsequently, a fee of 100s. per annum
with his dress and furs.
So the active career of this fine old craf tsman must then hâve been closed, and
he died early in 1400 full of years and honour, and he and his school of masons hâve
made a lasting mark on the Perpendicular style then coming into vogue. His works
live after him.

INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
S the years roll by, it becomes increaeingly difficult to find a snbject
saîtable for an Inangural Address, wbich bas not already been
selected for that pnrpose by a preyious occiipant of ibis cbair, or bas
not formed tbe snbject of a Paper read in tbe Lodge. I bope, tbere-
fore, yon will grant me yonr indulgence if, in what I propose to say
to y ou this afternoon, I travel along a path wbicb is more or less
familiar to ail of yon. May I then ask yonr forbearance wbile I
address yon briefly npon tbe snbject of " Advancement in Masonic Knowledge ?"
It must, I fear, be generally admitted tbat the Charge to " make some daily
advancement in Masonic knowledge," bas been obeyed by comparatively few of tbose
to whom it was addressed.
If we include in "Masonic knowledge," as I think we sbould, not merely a
familiarity with the degree ritaal, but also some knowledge of the history of Free-
masonry, its origin and development, its objects, its tenets and principles, its symbolism,
its points of resemblance to and différence from other similar Societies, as well as some
acquaintance with tbose worthy men who helped to baild up the Society, and bring it
to the degree of prosperity which it now enjoys, then we must sorrowfuUy confess that
Masonic knowledge bas not in the past been a distinguishing characteristic of ail
Freemasons.
Down to the last twenty-five or thirty years very few Masons, comparatively
speaking, either knew or cared to know anything of the past history of the Society of
which they were members. Except in a few isolated cases, the spirit of enqniry was, if
not dead, then sleeping, and any attempt to aronse it into activity met with no resnit
commen surate with the efforts put forth.
This gênerai want of interest in Masonry, apart from the Lodge work, which
characterised the Craft for at least a century after the foundation of the Grand Lodge
of England, may be attributed to several causes. There was a great difficulty, for
instance, in finding brethren who were sufficiently acquainted with Masonic history to
be able to act as guides and instructors ; there were no Masonic libraries, as there are
now, to which enquirers could obtain access for reading and study, and, in addition,
there was the very apparent unreliability of much of the early literature of the Craft.
This must bave had a very doterring effect npon many enquiring Masons, damping their
enthusiasm and forcing them to the conclusion, either that the Craft had no history
worthy of their serions study, or that any attempt to bring order ont of the existing
chaos would be pure labour in vain.
But whilst this was nndoubtedly the prevailing condition of Freemasonry down
to about the middle of the nineteenth century, the ignorance was not qnite nniversal.
Already early in the previous century efforts had been put forth, hère and there, to
dispel the surrounding gloom, and croate a désire for an intelligent knowledge and
understanding of Freemasonry, and for a hnndred. years attempts had been made, from
time to time, to stimulate tbe Brotherbood into some litorary activity. Martin Ciare,
who wrote the famous ** Defence of Masonry," lectured in the year 1738, at Lodge No.
4 — now No. 6 — London, and this practice, we are told, was not unusnal among the
higher class of Lod^es at that time. Many of thes^ lectures, it is true, dealt with

Bubjects which hâve but a slender connection witb Freemasonry, sucb as Education,
General History, Literature and Science, but still the fact that Masons wonld listen to a
discourse upon such subjects, was évidence that some of the Brethren were even then
interested in matters quite apart and distinct from the ordinary work of the Lodge,
which augured well for the future. Minutes of many eighteenth century Lodges con-
tain instances of this laudable custom, which was, however, neither so gênerai nor so
long-continued as it shonld bave been, in order to permanently benefit the Fratemity.
For the greater part of the eighteenth century, the varions éditions of the Con-
stitutions, Ahiman Rezons and Pocket Companions were virtually ail the literature
available for the instruction of our aneient Brethren, for it was not nntil tbe years 1772
and 1775 respectively, that Preston and Hutchinson produced their well-known books.
The numerous éditions, however, of the works 1 bave mentioned, indicate clearly that
there was some demand for Masonic knowledge, a demand which the writers succeeded
probably in stimulating, but which their books certainly failed to satisfy.
Toward the close of the eighteenth century, a growing désire for Masonic
knowledge manifested itself, which several Lodges in this country, and also on tbe con-
tinent, seeni to hâve donc their utmost to satisfy.
In France the Lodge ** Des Neuf Sœurs " of Paris, which enjoyed the distinction
of having initiated the philosopher Voltaire in 1778, and the Lodges of tbe Rite
Ecossaise Philosophique of the same period, niay be mentioned as among the foreign
Lodges which early devoted tliemselves to a stady of Masonic literature, interspersed
with lectures on philosophy, gênerai history, science and art. But the wave of révo-
lution which swept over Western Europe during the last fe'.v years of the century put
an end to what might, and probably wouîd hâve been a movement for tbe gênerai
élévation and enlightenment of the Masonic Fraternity.
During the early part of the nineteenth century men were too much occupied
with war and its terrible conséquences to bave much time or désire to décote themselves
to the study of Masonic literature, but towards the middle of the century évidences
were not wanting that more intorest was beingtaken in Masonic history and archaeology.
Students were, however, bampered in their work by the scarcity of reliable books.
A gênerai history of Freemasonry did not exist ; the treasure-house of old Minute-books
and other Lodge records was as yet unexplored, but, in spite of every drawback, efforts
were put forth by many Brethren to stimulate research, and cultivate a désire to know
more of the past of the Masonic Brotherhood.
The Masonic Press of 1840 to 1860 contains many évidences of activity in this
direction, and many of the brethren wbo were the pioneersin this intellectual movement
were the instructors of the older Masons of to-day.
In the year 1861, a Society of Gerraan Masons (Verein Deutscher Maurer) was
established " to advance the Masonic science in its whole extent by promoting the know-
ledge of the history, law, symbols and doctrine of Freemasonry," and this Society was
probably the earliest forerunner of the "Quatuor Coronati'* Lodge. It consisted of
regular aud corresponding members, and published its transactions annually. Bro. J. G.
Findel, a well-known German Masonic writer, was a prominent member, and tbe Rev.
A. F. A. Woodford, a founder of this Lodge, was a corresponding member. Much
useful work was done, but the Society was not appreciated and was only short-lived.
Ten years later a distinct advance in the intellectual study of Masonry was made,
by the establishment in London of a Masonic Archœological Institute, " to promote tbe
interests and to elevate the standing of Freemasonry, by systematic and scientific
investigations into the early history of the Craft, and theorigin and meaning of Masonic

sjmbols, rites and traditions." Inasmuch as two of tlie founders of this Lodgo were
among the early raembers of this Institnte, it may justly be claimed as the principal
pioneer of the " Quatuor Coronati" Lodge. The programme put forth, however, failed
to attract members, and in two or three years the Society had ceased to exist. Only a
few papers were read, none of which were printed, although it was originally intended
to issue an annual volume of transactions.
But the greatest impetus ever given to Masonic research was the consécration of
this Lodge, the " Quatuor Coronati," No. 2076, in the year 1886, a Lodge, which, although
it has done excellent work in the twenty-two years of its existence, has yet, I think, a
very glorions future before it. More tban any similar Masonic institution that has
ever existed, it has responded to the appeal of Brethren ail over the world for light and
knowledge upon Masonic history and archœology, with a readiness and a completeness
which deserves, and has received, the sincerest and warmest thanks of ail genuine
Masonic students. Its individual members bave done much to strengthen the historical
foundation of Masonry, freed it from many of the absurdities and impossibilities with
which Andersen and others had associated it, placed it upon a more worthy platform as
a subject deserving the thought, considération and study of educated men, and taken
from it Henry Hallam*s stigma, that ** the curious subject of Freemasonry has unfortu-
nately been treated only by panegyrists or calumniators, both equally mendacious."
Tho twenty volumes of the Lodge Transactions, which bave found their way to
the uttermost parts of the earth, are in themselves a splendid contribution to the
knowledge and appréciation of Freemasonry, and haveserved to stimulate Masons every-
where to prosecute the study of the archœology of the Craft.
Prompted by so excellent an example, several Lodges hâve already been estab-
lished, which work in close imitation of the " Quatuor Coronati," while many others in
England, and also in the Colonies, hâve done, or are still doing, some excellent literary
work. In addition to thèse Lodges, Masonic Literary Societies bave been founded in ail
parts of the country, which, together with the numerous Past Masters' Lodges, bave,
more or less, ail the same object in view, viz., to stimulate Masonic research, and to
induce the Brethren to study the history and archaîology of Freemasonry. Surely much
of the work done by thèse Lodges and Societies may be ascribed to the example set
them by the *' Quatuor Coronati," to whom they look up with respect and révérence as
their leader in the work.
What is the condition of Freemasonry to-day ? More respected, more honoured,
perhaps, than ever before. But is not the Oraft also more enlightened ? Never,
perhaps, in the whole history of spéculative orphilosophical Freemasonry, has the Craft,
as a whole, been so well-informed as to its past as it is to-day, and never, perhaps, were
Masons, in conséquence of tliat knowledge, so proud of the Fraternity. And yet never
has there been a greater demand for information on Masonic subjects, never has light
on Masonic problems been so eagerly sought for as now, never havo so many questions
been asked as to whence and why as are now being asked, and never has there been so
much craving for Masonic knowledge as is the case at the présent time.
But while we rejoice at the progress already made in the acquisition of Masonic
knowledge, and at the demand for further knowledge which manifests itself in many
quarters, there is still very much to be done for the instruction and enlightenment of
the whole body of Freemasons, and of those who year by year are attracted to the
Fraternity. We boast of the large and wide-spread membership of tihis Lodge, and yet
in some Provinces not one per cent, has yet joined our OuterCircle, for although a large
mass of information has been acquired by individual Masons, there is still much lack of

Masonic knowledge to be dealt with among the Masonîc rauk and file. In spite of tbe
work of ail the literary Lodges and Societies which hâve been established, it is sur-
prising how many Masons there still are, who are entirely ignorant of ail the Masonic
archœologîcal treasure which has been discovered. Thej hâve never heard of the
" Old Charges,'* the Engraved Lists, " Universis " Certificates and Ahiraan Rezons; the
names of Ashmole, Plot, Anderson, Dermott, Preston and Hntchinson, call np to them
no yisions of the past, while of the wonderf al discoveries of the présent génération of
Masonic students thej are in absolu te ignorance. Thej live in the atmosphère of a
century ago, their Masonic librarj consisting merelj of a Book of Constitutions.
Whilst ail will probably agrée that the last word has not yet been spoken upon
any of the différent branches of Masonic research, there is no doubt that the gronnd
has been well worked during the last twenty-five years. Many temples bave been
searched through ; ail the known MSS. haye been stndied, compared, coUated ; the
remains of many ancient mysteries and of many by-gone Systems of morality haye been
ezamined for traces of resemblance to the Masonic System ; ail références to early
Fi'eemasonry bave been songht oub, in order to ascertain what the world has thonght
of it ; and the Masonic past generally has, by constant systematic search, been made to
yield much valuable treasure. This being so, and in yiew of the growing demand for
Masonic knowledge, bave we not almost arrived at a point, when, without in any degree
discontinuing our search among the ruins of the past, some of our efforts may well be
directed to disseminating, among the Lodges generally, the yaluable knowledge which
has already been acquired ?
How can this laudable objcct be best accomplished ? How can the désire for
increased Masonic knowledge be farther stimulated and then satisfied P
At a Masonic Congress held in Brussels in the year 1904, an elaborate plan for
extending the knowledge of the history of Freemasonry was presented. It was pro-
posed thereby —
a. To croate in every Lodge a section for historical study.
b» To advise every Lodge to prépare its own history and publish it.
c. To publish a Masonic bibliography.
d. To organize lectures on Masonic history in every Lodge by compétent
Masonic scholars.
This was a large scheme, and probably difficult of accomplishment in its entirety,
but could not something be done in this direction for English-speaking Masons, if not
by this Lodge as a Lodge, then by the iudividaal members of both the Inner and the
Outer Ciroles ? Masonic Literary Societies are already flourishing in many towns in
England, but there is room for many more. There should be at least one in every
Province, and in the larger Provinces one in every large town. If only the Local
Secretaries, who now render such excellent service to the Lodge, could be prevailed
upon to undertake the formation of such Societies, and extend thereto a fostering care, it
"would be a long step t.oward the inculcation of further valuable Masonic knowledge.
Such societies would in no way injure this Lodge, or dethrone it from the proud position
it now ocoupies, but they would serve rather asfeeders to it, by making its work more
generally known and by stimulating in the Brethren a desii'e to qualify for membership
therein.
By means of thèse local Societies, Brethren would first become educated, and
subsequently stimulated to visit the Lodges in their immédiate neighbourhood, reading
papers, answering questions, establishing libraries and directing Masonic study and

reaearcli, so that everj Mason, wherever located, should bave the opportanitj, if he
desired it, of making " some daily advancement in Masonie knowledge.'*
Yoa will not think, I feel sure, that I am travelling beyond the sphère of my
office if I appeal, not to yoa only, who to-day hear my voice, but also to the larger body
of members who may, perhaps, read my words, to take in hand this dissémination of
Masonie knowledge for the graduai instruction and enlightenment of the whole Craft.
Your association with this Lodge gives you a qualification and a position in the Fra-
ternity, which should enable you to render valuable services in this spécial work. The
Lodge bas gi^ven, and is still giving to you, the resuit of its labours in every department
of Masonie lore. It bas opeued to you a treasure-house of Masonie knowledge, which
your attendance hère to-day proves that you value and appreciate. And may it not ask
you in return to hand on the knowledge you bave received hère to other members of the
Craft, that they, in their tum, may interest themselves in Masonie investigation and
researcb, for the further enlightenment of the Masonie Fraternity? Do not for a
moment think that the work is doue, for altbough much bas already been accomplished
in the realm of Masonie archœology, there is still ample scope for further researcb.
There are whole domains still to be explored, there are historiés of vénérable Lodgea
to be wntten, records to be searched through, muniment chesta to be ransacked, many
problems to be solved, many difficultés to be overcome, and much self-sacrificing work
to be donc, before a complète history of Freemasonry can be written, and Masonie
knowledge become a characteristic feature and an abiding distinction of the Craft.
Let us then ail unité together in a strong détermination that this Lodge shall
still continue to take the lead in disseminating the discoveries of Masonie students, and
in contributing to the graduai spread of gen uine Masonie knowledge.
At the snbseqaent Banqaeb, Bro. F. H. Goldney, I.P.M., proposed the " Toast of the Worshipful
Master."
Brethkbn,
As the Installing Master upon this interesting occasion, the privilège bas been
accorded to me of proposing the toast of the distinguished Brother whom it bas to-day
been my good fortune to proclaim Worshipf ul Master of Quatuor Coronati Lodge.
Seldom can we find a Brother of nearly forty years standing in Freemasonry so
keen, so active, so constant in the work of the Craft as Bro. Thorp of Leicester.
His persevering labours and earnest thought for the advancement of knowledge of
the history, traditions and antiquities of our great Institution continue unabated, and
as fresh as when he first saw the light.
To enumerate his great services to Freemasonry would be indeed a formidable
task — we can only touch upon his public record, and refer to the numerous offices
which he bas so honourably filled, togather some iusight into the devoted interest which
he bas displayed in furthering the great cause which we ail bave so much at heart.
Bro. Thorp, whose * Grand Climacter * is still, happily, some years distant, f rom
the outset of his Masonie career to the présent time bas been an assiduous student
of the traditions and written évidences of the Craft, and an analytical observer, and
critical examiner of the antiquarian sources of our ancient history.
For this purpose he bas devoted much time during his Continental travels in
close observations and enquiries upon the spot, in master in g foreign languages, and in
noting past and présent history and customs of the varions nationalities with which he
came into contact.

262 Transactio7is of the Quatuor Coronati Loâge.
Two leading features in his liferary career hâve been his becoming an active
member of the Inner Circle of this Lodge (to which he bas contributed many valuable
treatises, and in which he bas ably discussed the papers of others), and in his being a
Founder and the first Master of the Lodge of Research No. 2429, Leicester, a kindred
Lodge to our own, whose useful work in searching ont the origin, traditions and
symbolism of mach that is interesting in Freemasonry bas been thoroughly recognised
and appreciated.
Bro. Thorp, who, notwithstanding his snccessful parsuit of important mercantile
undertakings, and his being the head of one of the large textile industries of the Mid-
lands, bas made the time to dévote himself to his Masonic daties in such a thorong'h
manner that they bave been publicly recognised by his promotion to high rank in four
of our principal Orders.
H.R.H. the Duke of Connaught, our beloved Grand Master, bas bonouredhim by
his appointment as Past Assistant Grand Director of Cérémonies of the Grand Lodge
of England ; wbilst similar distinctions bave been conferred upon him in Suprême
Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of England, in Grand Lodge of Mark Master
Masons of England, and by the Suprême Council of the Ancient and Accepted Rite.
In his own Province, too, the high estimation of Bro. Thorp bas been evinced by
his appointment to varions Grand Offices, culminating in his becoming Provincial
Senior Grand Warden of Leicestershire in 1883.
The préviens year he had been appointed Third Principal in the Grand Chapter
of that Province.
In 1878 he was appointed Grand Senior Warden in the Mark Degree of the same
Province.
As a member of John of Gaunt Lodge No. 623, Leicester, Lodge of Research
No. 2429, Leicester, whose Transactions , edited by Bro. Thorp for the last sixteen years,
form so valuable an addition to Masonic literature, Chapter of Fortitude No. 279,
Simon de Montfort Lodge of M.M.M. No. 194, and St. Margaret*s Chapter Rose Croix
No. 92, he bas won, and retained, the esteem and affection of his Brethren.
In addition to his writings, Bro. Thorp bas ably promoted the best interests of
Freemasonry by his well-known lectures, and thereby brought himself into personal
contact with a large number of Brethren in différent parts of England and America.
His membership of varions learned Societies, such as the Royal Historical
Society of England, the Royal Society of Literature of Great Britain, the Royal Society
of Antiquaries of Ireland, the similar Society of Scotland, and other erudite and
scbolarly Institutions shew the universality of his attainments and the attractiveness of
bis disposition.
In America, too, he is personally well known and highly spoken of, and his
Masonic lectures and published works much sought after.
Bro. Thorp, as author of numerous Masonic publications, is recognised as an able
and accurate writer, f ull of interest and imparting much information.
His splendid collections of Masonic books, manuscripts, certificates, medals,
jewels, clothing, pottery and curios are the outcome of consummate knowledge and
excellent taste.
Brethren, in proposing the toast of the evening — Bro. Thorp, our W.M. — I give
it as of one whose past brilliant record assures us that in him we bave a typical W.M.
for Quatuor Coronati Lodge, and that we may feel confident that nnder his rnle
our Lodge will not only hold its own in universal esteem and numbers, but will
be strengthened in its value to Freemasonry, and in the increase of the Outer Circle.

THE ENGRAVED LIST OF LODGES,
"ANCIENTS," A.D. 1753.
BY BRO. W, /. HUGHAN, P.G.D.
I 0 our esteemed Secretary we are indebted for the information that
there is another issue of an engraved List of " Ancient " Lodges,
preserved at South Kensington Muséum, " Engrav'd & Publisli'd by
Bro^ Evans, in Bear Street, Leicester Fields Anno Lap. 5753," and
prepared by the famous " Lan. Dermott, Sec." The one which was
presented to the Library of No. 2076, by Bro. W. J. Songhurst, "was
apparently the first of its kind issued, and at the time I described its
character in vol. xix. of Ars Quatuor Coronatorum^ 1906, was the only copy of the kind
known. Since then, however, another bas been traeed, as herein noted, and apparently
it was a second édition for the year 1753. The first left off with No. 16, constitnted
January lOth, 1753, page 9. This one contains three more pages but the fourth is
missing, containing Lodges Nos. 5 and 6, that of the tenth having *'No. 17 Cous?
March 13^^ 1753. [a Lion] Scots Arms, St. James's Hay Market, 2^ Sf 4'* Monday'* and
" No. 18, Cons? May 4^^ 1753, Vernon [figure] Bishopsgate Street Withont, 1*^ ^ 3^
Friday''; the eleventh has "No. 19, Cons? May 15*^ 1753 [A fountain] Monmouth
Street P^ ^* 3'^ Mondy-'' ; the other chaste design being hlank^ as also the two designs
on page twelve. It wili be seen that as No. 18 asserabled at the same House as No. 10,
the same design is used in both instances, but otherwise thèse artistic borders or
enclosures are ail of différent desigus.
Thèse are ail duly noted in the Morgan-Dermott Lists, 1752-4. No. 17 of the
" Scots Arms " had three places in 1753, the first being as noted, followed by the " Whïte
Hart,'* Shug Lane, and then the " Thirleen Canto7is^' which has not been traeed. This
Lodge lapsed about twenty years later, an entry in an officiai record stating that it
" had not assembled for sometime past.*' Its last known place of meeting was the
" Ttvo Brewers, Mid. Holborn," in 1755.
No. 18 also assembled at the " Three Sugar Loaves, S*- John's St., Spitalfields "
and the " Bull and Butcher, Rag Fair," in 1754, lapsing during the following year.
No. 19 removed from " Seren Dials," where the " Fonntain" was situated, to
the " Qeorge, Broad St., St. Giles's, Holborn," in 1754. It was " declared vacant, null
and void " on August 7th, 1754, according to the excellent authority of Bro. John Lane,
in his indispensable " Masonio Records 1717-1894."
It is remarkable that no référence has been discovered to thèse little gems during
the long period of one hundred and fifty years.

TWO ANCIEN! LEGENDS CONCERNING THE Ist TEMPLE,
TERMED SOLOMON'S TEMPLE.
BY BRO. JOHN YARKER.
HROUGH the favour of a London friend, the preceptor of a Jewîsh
Lodge, I hâve obtained translations from learned Rabbis of two
legends, which may be added to the interesting document entitled the
Testament of Solomon, of which an account was given in vol. xiv. of
A.Q.G., ail of which hâve référence to the érection of Soîomon's
temple ; of coarse legendary matter added at a much later date.
The Jewish Rabbis, and their co-religionists, seem to attach
some importance to thèse legends, but in the remarks which I hère briefly attach to
them I am afraid that I shall be considered unorthodox both by Jew and Gentile.
Lord Sandwich being anxious to obtain an ex-cathedra définition of orthodoxy and
heterodoxy, applied to the learned Bishop Warburton, and that libéral minded cleric
replied : " Well, my Lord, orthodoxy is my doxy, but heterodoxy is another man's
doxy," — and so I will leave that part of the question.
There was a very ancient legend carrent in the Aryan East that mankind were
at first of an ethereal nature, that is they had not yet gathered the protoplasm ont of
which our présent gross bodies are formed. Of thèse there were seventy-two kings
named Sulieman, or Solomons, the lasfc three of whom reigned each 1000 years. The
Arabs of our time consider them the rulers of the génie and afreets, and many an
eastem storyteller laments the departed glories of Sulieman-i-takt, or the tbrone of
Solomon, a structure to the south of the désert of Gobi, and we hâve also, still further
south, the Sulieman Mounfcains. The Accadians of Babylon had knowledge of this
legend, and one of our archaBologists informs us that they had a god named Solymo.
The late Dr. Kenealy was a Persian scholar and held that this word, or this god, was
the équivalent of King, Khan, Pharaoh, etc. Whether Jedediah, the beloved of Jah,
who was King over Israël in succession to David, was known as Solomon previous to
the time of Ezra, the Scribe, and editor of the présent sacred writings of the Jews, I
will not venture to say, but I hâve no hésitation in expressing my belief that the
Jewish Captives in Babylon hâve added the legends of the pre-historic Suliemans to the
history of their ancient King Jedediah, the son of David.
The " Old York Lecture," as Dr. Geo. Oliver terms it in nearly every volume
in which he quotes the ritual, told us that the secret which was lost by the joint
compact of the three G.M.*s was that of ** the ïnsect Shermah used to give a very high
polish to the stones." Our learned contributor Bro. W. W. Westcott bas made several
suggestions upon the point, the most probable of which is that Shermah is a corruption
of another Hebrew word, applied to the emery stone.
The second translation, which I append, is taken from the book Yalkut, which
is a compilation of the Midrashy which former in Hebrew signifies " to gather together,**
and is the word used for the bag in which David " gathered together " the pebbles with
which he slew^Goliath,

Two Ancient Legends Conccrning Soîomon's Temple. 265
In tlie latter part of the eighteenth century there was iu existence an Hermetic
and Alchemical Rite of seven degrees termed the Fratres Lucù, or Brothers of Light.
Its 3° gave a short outline of this legend of Hiram, King of Tyre, and taught the
Candidate that the legend of H.A.B. was suggested by it, or compiled ont of it, and
then went on to say that ail the points of a M. M. was intended to point ont the
necessary opérations to be used in developing the philosopher's stone. Of conrse this
is pnre nonsense, bnt the Bite had some really eminent Hermetic Freemasons, inclading
that extraordinary man the Connt St. Germain, a man of whom it is said that he
possessed dnality of braîn and could write on two subjects with the two hands at the
same time, and could repeat the whole of a newspaper with one reading. However this
may be, the only account of the Connt that is worth a moments thonght is one by
Mrs. Isabel Cooper-Oakley, who treats him as a Transylvanian Prince under the snbjec-
tion of Austria. I snggested she should print it as a pamphlet for Freemasons, and was
in hope it wonld appear as snch, bat it has not been done.
In my opinion the Gnild considered the legend of H.A.B. as an actual fact and
commemorated it annually, and it is ont of that commémoration, followed in England by
the Masons of the Classical revival of Inigo Jones, that we dérive what we know of it in
our présent M.M., incomplète thongh it is. But Qnild Masonry is the caste équivalent
of the ancient Mysteries of Osiris, Dionysis, Bacchus, Serapis, etc., and its commémora-
tive legend runs with thèse. It may date even from the érection of the Second Temple
by the Babylonians, and the old York Ritual, which possesses much of Guild Masonry,
points to a connection with the so-called Mysteries. It will be noted that the obliging
translater of Yalkut says that there was another legend by which H.K.T. had 600
years of paradise for providing cedars for the Temple. Probably this may be the
original form on which the Yalkut legend was engrafted by the sufferers under
Nebuchadnezzar who had his seven storied tower, the topraost chamber of which was a
cube with a golden bed in which reposed a young virgin waiting the embraces of the
god Bel. The end of H.K.T. is horrible in the extrême but I hâve not thonght myself
jnstified in toning it down.
I.
THE BABYLONIAN TALMUD, AND THE DEMONS.
The Talmud is particularly rich in demonology and many are the forms which
the evil principle assumes in its pages. Enough now to mention the circumstance of
their existence and to introduce the story of Ashmedai, the King of the Démons. Six
things are said respecting them. In three things they are like Angels, and in three
they resemble men. They hâve wings like Angels, with which they fly from one end of
the world to the other, and they know the future as Angels do, with this différence that
they learn it by listening behind the Veil, to what is said within it.
In three respects they resemble men : — they eat and drink ; they beget and
multiply ; and like men they die.
In Ecclesiastes ii., 8, we read : *^ I gat me men singers, and women singers, the
delights of the sons of men, as Mtmcal instruments^ and that of ail sorts.** Thèse last
seven words represent only two in the original Hebrew, n^E^I mE^» Shiddah veshtddoth.
Thèse two words in the original Hebrew, transi ated by the seven already given, hâve
been a sonrce of great perplexity to the critics, and their exact meaning is a question of
debate to this hour. They in the West say that they mean severally carnages for

lords, and carrîages for ladies, whilst we (eays the Babylonîsli Talmtid) interpret them
to mean maie démons and female démons. Whereupon if this last is the correct
renderinjç, the question arises for what pnrpose did Solomon require them ? The
answer is to be found in i. Kings, v., 7, where it is written : — " And the honse when it
was building, was built of stone, made ready before it was brooght thither,'* etc. For
before the opération was commenced Solomon asked the Rabbis, " How shall I accom-
plish this witbout nsing tools of iron ?'* and they, remembering of an insect which had
existed since the création of the world, whose powers were such as the hardest sub-
stance could not resist, replied, ** There is the Shameer with which Moses eut the precious
stones of the Ephod." Solomon asked, " And where, pray, is the Shameer to be found ?"
To which they made answer, j^ni^K^*! m^K^ ^n^^N — " Let a maie démon and a female
démon corne, and do thou coerce them both, mayhap they know and will reveal it to
thee." He then conjured into bis présence a maie and a female démon, and proceeded
to torture them, but in vain, for said they, " We know not its whereabouts, and there-
fore cannot tell. Perhaps Ashmedai, King of the Démons, may know." On being
further interrogated as to where he, in turn, might be found, they made this answer,
" In yonder mount is bis résidence, there he bas dug a pit, and after filling it with
water, covered it over with a stone and sealed it with his own seal ; daily he
ascends to heaven, and studies in the school of Wisdom there, then he comes down
and studies in the school of Wisdom hère ; upon which he goes and examines the
seal, then opens the pit, and after quenching his thirst, covers it up again, reseals
it, and takes his departure." Solomon thereupon sent Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada,
provided with a magie chain and ring, upon both of which the name of God was
engraved. He also provided him with a fleece of wool and sundry skins of wine.
Then Benaiah went and sank a pit below that of Ashmedai, into which he drained off
the water, and plugged the duct between with the fleece. Then he set to and dug
another hole higher up, with a channel leading into the emptied pit of Ashmedai, by
means of which he fiUed the pit with the wine which he had brought. After levelling
the ground, so as not to arouse suspicion, he withdrew to a tree close by, so as to watch
the resuit andwait his opportunity. After a while Ashmedai came and examined the
seal, when, seeing it ail right, he raised the stone, and to his surprise found wine in the pit.
For a time he stood muttering, and saying, * It is written,' (Prov. xx., 1), "Wine is a
mocker, strong drink is raging, and whoever is deceived thereby is not wîse." And
again, (Hosea iv., II), " Whoredom and wine, and new wine, take away the heart."
Therefore, at first, he was unwilling to drink, but being thirsty he could not long resist
the temptation. He therefore proceeded to drink, when, becoming intoxicated, he
lay down to sleep. Then Benaiah came forth from the ambush, and, stealthily
approaching, fastened the chain round the sleeper*s neck. Ashmedai, wben he
awoke, began to fret and fume, and would hâve torn ofF the chain that bound him
had not Benaiah wamed him, saying, " The Name of the Lord is upon thee." Having
thus secured him Benaiah proceeded to lead him away to his royal Master. As they
journeyed along they came to a palm tree, against which Ashmedai rubbed himself
nntil he uprooted it, and threw it down. When they drew near to a hut the poor
widow who inhabited it saluted them, upon which he suddenly bent his back and
snapped a boue of his body and said, — * This is that which was written,* — (Prov. xxv.,
15) — " A gentle answer breaketh the bone." Descrying a blind man straying ont
of his way he hailed him and directed him aright. He even did the same service
to a man overcome with wine, who was in a similar predicament. At sight of a
wçddinç parfcy which passed along he wept. But he burst into uncontroU^ble laughter

when he heard a man order at a shoemaker's stall a pair of shoes that wonld last
seven years ; and when he saw a magician at his work, he broke forth into shrieks
of scorn.
On arriving at the Rayai City, three days were allowed to pass before he was
introduced to Solomon. On the first day he said, — " Why doth the King not invite me
to his présence ? " ** He hath drunk too mnch," was the answer, " and the wine has
overpowered him.*' Upon which he lifted a brick, and placed it npon another. When
this was communîcated to Solomon he said, — " He meant by this * go and make him
drunk again.* " On the following day he asked again, — " Why doth the King not
invite me to his présence ? " They replied, — " He hath eaten too much." On this he
removed the brick again from the top of the other. When this was reported to the
King he interpreted it, — "Stint him in his food." After the third day he was intro-
daced to the King, when, measuring off four cnbits upon the floor, with the stick which
he held in his hand, he said to Solomon, " When thon diest thou wilt not possess in this
world, more than four cubits of earth." (He referred to the grave). " Meanwhile
thou hast conquered the world, yet thou wert not safcisfied until thou hadst overcome me
also." To this the King replied, — " I want nothing of thee but this, 1 wish to build the
temple and hâve need of the Shameer." To this Asmedai answered, — " The Shameer
is not committed in charge to me, but to the Prince of the Sea, and he intrusts it to no
one except to the great wild cock, and that upon an oath that he return it to him again.*'
Whereupon Solomon asked, — " And what does the wild cock do with the Shameer ? " To
which the Démon replied, — " He takes it to abarren rocky moantain, and by means of
it he cleaves the mountain asunder, which formed into a valley, into the cleft of it ho
drops the seeds of varions plants and trees, and thus the place becomes clothed with
verdure and fit for habitation." This is the Lapwing (A.V.), Hoopoe (R.V.),nientioned
in Lev. xi., 19, which the Targum renders, K^IÛ ^JJ Nagger Tura, "Mountain
Splitter."
They therefore searched for the nest of the wild cock, which they found contained
a young brood. This they covered with a glass through which the bird might see its
young, withont being able to get at them. When, accordingly, the bird came and found
its nest impenetrably glazed over, he went and fetched the Shameer, and just as he was
about to apply it to the glass, in order to eut it, Solomon's messenger caught it np and
made off with it. The cock thereupon went and strangled himself, because he was
unable to keep the oath by which he had bound himself to retnrn the Shameer.
Benaiah asked Ashmedai why, when he saw the blind man straying, he so
promptly interfered to guide him ? He replied, — " Because it was proclaimed in heaven
that such a man was perfectly righteous, and that whosoever did him a good turn would
earn the title to a place in the world of the future." " Bot when thou sawest the man
overcome with wine wandering ont of the way, why didst thou put him right again ? "
Ashmedai said, — " Because it was made known in heaven that the man was thoroughly
bad, and that he might not lose ail, I did him this service in order that he might receive
some good in the world that now is." " Well, and why didst thou weep when thou
sawest the merry wedding feast pass ? " " Because," said he, " the bridegroom was
fated to die with in thirty days, and the bride must needs wait thirteen years for her
husband's brother, who is now but an infant" (see Deut. xxv., 6-10). "Why didst
thou laugh so when the man ordered a pair of shoes which would last him seven years ?"
Ashmedai replied,— " Because I knew that the man would not live seven days."
" And why," asked Benaiah, " didst thou jeer when thou sawest the conjurer at his
tricks ? " "Because," said Ashmedai, " the man was at that very time sitting over a

princely treasure, and he did nofc, with ail his pretensions, know that it was under him.**
Having once acqnired a power over Ashmedai, Solomon detained him tîll the bailding
of the temple was completed. One day, after this, when they were alone, it is related
that Solomon asked him, — ** What, pray, is your superiority over ns, if it be tme as
it is written (Numb. xxiii., 22), He bas the sfcrength of a Unicorn, and the word
* strength,' as tradition allèges, means * ministering angels,' and the word * nnicorn '
means 'Devils* " ? Ashmedai replied, — *' Take this chain from my neck, and give me thy
signet ring, and I will soon show thee my snperiority." No sooner had Solomon done
this, in compliance with the reqnest, than Ashmedai snatched him np and swallowed
him, and stretching forth his wings — one tonching the heavens and the other the earth
— he Tomited him ont at a distance of four hundred miles. It is with référence to this
time that Solomon says (Eccl. i. 3, ii. 10) " What pro6t hath a man of ail his labour
which he taketh under the sun p This is my portion of ail my labour." What does the
word thù mean hère ? Upon this point Rav and Samuel are at variance, for the one
says it means his staff, the other holds that it means his garment^ or his waterjug, and
that with one or other Solomon went from house to house beggîng ; and wherover he
came he said (Eccl. i., 12) — " I, the preacher, was King over Jérusalem." When, in
his wanderings, he came to the house of the Sanhédrin, the Rabbis reasoned and said,
— ** if he were mad, he would not keep repeating the same thing over and over again.
Therefore what does he mean ? " They therefore enquired of Benaiah,— " Does the
King ask thee into his présence ? " He replied, " No." They then sent to enqnire
whether the King visifced the Harem ? And the answer to this was, — " Tes, he comes."
Then the Rabbis sent word back that they should look at his feet, for the Demon's feet
are like those of a cock. The reply was, — " He comes to us in stockings." Upon this
information the Rabbis escorted Solomon back to the palace and restored to him the
chain and ring, on both of which the name of God was engraven.
Arrayed with thèse Solomon advanced straightway into the presence-chamber.
Ashmedai sat at that moment upon the throne, but as soon as he saw Solomon enter he
took fright, and raising his wings, flew away shrieking back into invisibility. Tn spite
of this Solomon continued in great fear of him and this explains that which is written
(Song of Songs iii., 7, 8), " Behold the bed which is Solomon's, three score valiant men
are about it, of the valiant of Israël. They ail hold swords, being expert in war, every
man has his sword upon his thigh, because of fear in the night."
Note. — The Shameer, ^^ÔB^, is mentioned in Jer. xvii., Ezek. iii. 9, Zech. vii. 12.

The End op Hiram King of Tyre, according to Midrash.
Hiram, King of Tyre, was a man of exceeding great pride. What did he ? He
came to the sea, and, in the depth of the sea, made himself four long iron pillars of
enormous strength, and placed them one over against the other rectangularly ; and he
made himself seven heavens and a throne, and the Hayoth thundered with lightnings.
The first sky he made of glass, of 500 cubits, and he placed therein sun, moon and stars.
The second sky he made of iron, 1,500 cubits by 1,500 cubits, and a volume of water
separated the one from the other ; he made in it round stones crashing one against the
other, with the sound of thunder. The third firmament he made of lead, 2,000 cubits
by 2,000 cubits, and a volume of water separated it from the other. The fourth was of
métal, 2,000 cubits by 2,000 cubits, and a sheet of water separated it from the other.
The fifth was of copper, 3,000 cubits by 3,000 cubits. The sixth he made of silver,

3,500 cnbits by 3,500 cnbits, aDd placed thereîn precious stones and pearls. The
seventh he made of gold, 4,000 cnbits by 4,000 cnbits, and he placed therein theHayoth
and tlie Chembim, and also a golden bed, and at its head rubies (red stones) illnminated
on each side ; he cansed lightnings to flash, by the movement of one thing against
another, there was thnndering and lightning. Then the Almighty said to Ezekiel,
" Son of man, go and say to Hiram, wherewithal art thon extolling thyself, son of
woman ? " Ezekiel said, *' How can I go to him when he stands in the air ? " Then God
sent a wind and Ezekiel was carried bythe fringe of his head right up to Hiram, and
at once Hiram became agitated, and when he heard the words, '* Wherewithal pridest
thon thyself, son of woman ? " He demanded ** How didst thou corne hither ? " he said,
" Throagh the help of God, who bade me speak thns." Hiram said proudly, ** I am a
child of woman, but I live for ever ; even as God has His seat in the midst of the océan,
80 I, even as God, hâve a seat in the seven heavens ; nay more, innnmerable Kings
hâve died, but I live for ever. David reigned 40 years and died, not so I. Solomon
reigned 40 years and died, not so I, and 21 Kings of Israël hâve been bnried, bat I live
on. So the Kings of Judah, 10 prophets, and 10 high-priests hâve I outlived, and I live
on. I am a god and I sit in the seat of the gods." " Truly," said Ezekiel, ** great Kings
were, and hâve not done so much. It is like a servant who made a noble garment for
his master, whereof he prîdes himself saying, * I made it.* What did the King ?
He said * I will rend the robe, so that the servant can no longer boast.' " Then Hiram
boasted that his cedars made the building of the temple, so God said, ** I will destroy
my temple, that Hiram may no longer boast." Then He said, " Open, 0 ! Lebanon,
thy gâtes, and let its cedars consume thy cedars." What was the end ? God brought
Nebuchadnezzar against him, who ravished Hiram *s mother before his face; then
dragged him from his throne, and eut f rom his flesh, two Angers breadth every day, and,
dipped in vinegar, ate thereof, till he died a fearf ul death. And what became of those
palaces P The earth was rent asunder and they sank down therein and are reserved
as treasure for the righteous to come.
In Midrash, Bereshith Rabba, we are told that death came into the world becanse
God foresaw that Nebuchadnezzar and Hiram would think they were gods. There is
another legend that Hiram was rewarded for providing cedars for the temple with 600
years of life in Paradise.

NOTES AND QUERIES.
I HE Origin of the Pillars to Kingr Solomon's Temple.— Ooe thing
is perfectly clear about the design of the Temple, and that is tliat the
plan of it was not an original one, for it was designed to be only a
copy on a larger scale of the Tabernacle. This want of originality in
design was also reflected in its ornamentation, for the King of Tyre
being appealed to for assistance, which was evidently lacking in
Jérusalem at the time, an artificer was sent from Tyre itself to supply
those ideas which were needed at the headqnarters of the building. One can imagine
Hiram the Architect gazing at the plans which merely attempted to translate into
the more lasting form of stone the temporary woodwork of the Tabernacle, and
wondering in what way it could be improved. His thoughts woald naturally turn to
the Temple which stood in Tyre itself, and which is thns described by Herodotus, the
Greek Historian (B. ii., c. 44), "And being desirous of obtaining certain information
from whatever source I could, I sailed to Tyre in Phœnicia, having heard that there
was there a Temple dedicated to Hercules ; and I saw it richly adomed with a great
variety of offerings, and in it were two pillars, one of fine gold, the other of emerald
stone, both shining exceedingly at night." The Temple was probably open to the air,
and the historian is picturing the magnificent view of the pillars as they appeared by
brighfc moonlight.
Hiram, when summoned to Jérusalem, might naturally hâve bethought himself
of thèse magnificent pillars of the Tyrian temple, and designed two others of différent
shape and différent materials, but yet intended by him to be as noteworthy as those of
his native city.
It will probably be remarked that Herodotus viewed the Temple at Tyre in
443 B.c., or about 550 years after the temple at Jérusalem had been built, but on this
question he expressly tells us that the priests at Tyre assured him that their temple
had stood for 2,300 years, and consequently it must hâve been in existence prior to
King Solomon's time.
Whether the two pillars in King Hiram's temple had any spécial religions
significance, or were merely architectural necessities, remains to be seen, but it is
worthy of attention that amongst the Egyptians, who were the earliest builders of the
world, and from whom other peoples, and probably also the Tyrians, derived their ideas,
pillars were held in great honour, and that the Egyptian gi'eat god Osiris was known
as the " Lord of the Pillars.'' One of the familiar scènes in Egyptian sculptures was
the great festival of " setting up the pillars,'' in which the Kings took a prominent part.

Gregrorian Calendar.— Readers of A.Q.C, vol. xxi., pp. 130-136, will doubtless
notice a discrepancy in the statoments made hy Bros. Hextall and Klein in regard to
the introduction of the Gregorian Calendar into thia country.
The Act, 24 Geo. II., 1751, came into force in September, 1752, when the day
foUowing the 2nd of the month was called the 14th, so that 11 days were dropped and
not 13 as stated by Bro. Klein. The members of the Greek Church in Russia, Greece,
etc., still observe the Old Style, and the différence between O.S. and N.S. now
amounts to 13 days, as the years 1800 and 1900 were not considered Leap Years
by ns.

Recjent Hoad, LeicesteR,
St. John's Day in Winter, 1908.
Brethren,
NE of the first, as it is one of the most pleasing daties of the newly-
installed Master of this Lodge, is to seud a Greeting to the Members
of both Circles. And so, Brethren, in conbinuance of the tîme-hononred
custom, and on behalf of the Officers of the Lodge, I greet you ail
right well.
For most of you, résident in distant lands or provented by
varions causes from visiting the Lodge, this annnal Greeting mnst always be a verbal
one only, and yet it is far more than a mère expression of good-will between those who
meet and part in the journey of life. For are we not boand together by ties, which,
although invisible, are stronger than iron bands ? Are not onr aims and objects in life
similar ? Are wo not ail interested in like pursuits, associated together in an effort to
enlighten and elevate the Brotherhood ? The word of greeting, then, is mnch more than
a word, it is sympathy, brotherly feeling, an expression of mu tuai faith and trust
between those who are working together with a common purpose.
Many of you bave already found an opportunity of visiting the Lodge, and
personally associating with the Brethren — niay the number of those who are able to
visit us during the comingyear be largely mnltiplied. Let us grasp one another by the
haud, and in so doing gain fresh courage, hope and inspiration, with a renewed
détermination to work together for the lastingbenefit of the vénérable Craft.
It would be a matter for sincère congratulation if during the coming year it sbonld
be possible to associate more of you in the spécial work of the Lodge. There must be
many who are well able to assist, by communicating short papers or notes of interest to
the pages of the Transdctions, and thus materially enhance their value to the Masonic
student. Will you not help in this good work ? The Secretary will gladly hear from
you, and second ail your efforts to increase the excellence of our annual volume.
You can also further assist the Lodge by obtaining recruits to the ranks of the
Correspondence Circîe. The list is already a splendid one, testifying to a generous and
wide-sproad appréciation of the Lodge's work; but every year there is an unavoidable
wastage which requires making good, and in this direction every Brother may render
excellent service to the Lodge.
Let us then ail work together, that the coming year may be one of unexampled
prosperity, profit and pleasure.
Once more I greet you, Brethren in the North, East, South and West, and trust
that there may be abundance of joy and gladness in store for you ail, in the day s which
lie before.
Believe me,
Tours faithfully and fraternally,

John, Duke of Atholl, Knight ot thé Most Ancient and Most Noble Ûrder of the
Thistle, etc, etc , Grand Master 1775-1781 and 1791-1813, of the Grand Lod£^e
of English Freemasons, According to the Old Institutions.
The subject of our Frontispiece, John Murray, Fonrth Duke of Atholl, K.T.,
Marquess of Tullibardine, Earl of Stratbtay and Strathardle, etc., etc., was born Jnne
30th, 1755, and sacceeded his father (tlie Third Dnke) November 5tb, 1774.
His Grâce was initiated, passed and raîsed in the Grand Master's Lodge, No. 1,
Febraary 25th, 1775, and Installed Master of that Lodge on the same evening. On
the Ist March ensuing he was elected Grand Master, and on the 25th of that mont h he
was formally Installed at the Half Moon Tavern, Cheapside, in the présence of the
Duke of Leinster, late Grand Master of Ireland, Sir James Adolphus Oughton, late
Grand Masser of Scotland, and several of his Grace's relatives and personal friands.
The more serions business of the day being ended, "The R^ Worshipful Grand
Master gave the proper signal for calling the Lodge to Refreshment which w^as
instantly obey'd, and accordingly the Brethren adjourned to Dinner, The usnal Healtfas
was drank in form, and after the day was spent in great harmony, His Grâce gave a
purse of Twenty Guineas for the Charitable Fund, and at 9 o'clock retired with his
friends, ordering the Grand Lodge to be closed in good time."^
The Dnke was re-elected Grand Master each year till the end of 1781, when, in
reply to a letter frora the Grand Stjcretary conveying the thanks of the Grand Lodg^e
for past services, and soliciting a conti nuance of his patronage, the following letter was
received : —
" Dunkeld, Nov. 29th, 1781.
'* Right Worshipful Grand Secretary
" I had the honour of receiving a copy of the Proceedings of the Grand Lodge
on the 6th of Sep. and your Letter ycsterday.
" I should ace «pt with the greatest pleasure of the honor the Grand Lodge hâve
donc me by re-electing me their Grand Master ; but as my Résidence is chiefly in
the Country it has not been (nor will it I fear be) in my power to give that attendance
which is the due of the Ancient Fraternity. I trust that during the time I hâve had
the honor of being Grand Master, the Honor and Interest of the Craft hâve no way
diminished, but for the reason above menfcioned, with many thanks to the Grand Lodge
I mnst beg leave to resign the high offirie of Grand Master, at the same time the
Fraternity may rest assured of my best wishes for their wellfare, and the Prosperity of
the Ancient Craft.
** I remain
*' Right Worshipful Grand Secret ary,
" Your faithf ul B' in Masonry,
(Signed) " Atholl, Grand Master."
Meanwhile his Grâce had been elected Grand Master of Scotland — 1778-1779,
but apparently took no further paît in English Masonry nntil the year 1791, wheii, in
conséquence of the death of the Earl of Antrim, who had succeeded hira in the Grand
Mastership, he consented to be again nominated as the head of the Ancient Craft. He
was, of course, unanimously elected, and, on the 20th January, 1792, at the Crown and
Anchor Tavern, he was duly " Installed and proclaimed Grand Master of Masons in
England, According to the Old Institutions, with ail the Honors and Forms according
to Ancient usage." He continued in office until Noveraber 8th, 1813, when, in
conséquence of the projected union of the hitherto rival Grand Lodges, he resigned in
favour of the Duke of Kent, whose brother, the Duke of Sussex, had been elected
Grand Master of what was known as the *' Modem " Grand Lodge, in order that
thèse two royal brothers might hâve the crédit of cementing an union between the two
great Masonic Fraternities which, for a period of 60 years, had been fiercely
antagonistic.
During his Grace's second Grand Mastership he evinced the warmest interest
in Masonry— more particularly in ail that appertained to the body over which he so
ably presided. It was under his auspices that in 1798 the Noble School, now known as
the Royal Masonic Institution for Boys, was eetablished, and in 1801 he is described
as Patron of the Institution, but whether or no that distinction was conferred upoa
him prior to that year I bave no means of ascertaining. The estimation in which the
^Qrand Lodge Minutes, March 25| 1775.

Duke was held by his brethren is clearly evinced by the folio wiug vote passed in Grand
Lodge on tho 8th Novomber, 1813, when his résignation was tendered and accepted : —
"Resolved Unanimously — That the thanks of this Grand Lodge be given to our
Most Noble Brother His Grâce the Duke of Atholl, for his zealous, enlightened, and
snccessf al exertions as Grand Master of Masons in England, to promote, extend, and
setîure the welfare of the Craft. That they feel, with the most lively sensibility,
the recollection of the cheerfulness with which, in a moment of difficulty, His Grâce
took upon hira the important office; and that also, on another trying emergency, when
the existence of the Fraternity, as a rc-cogoized establishment was at stake, he supported,
by his high narae, power, and influence, the just claims of the Body to be secured
by a specîial provision from the enactments of a statute, which the safety of the State
rendered necessary for the restraint and régulation of popular Societies. And it is
with the most heartfelt gratitude that they make their acknowledgments to His
Grâce for his long and unshaken patronage, nnder the encouragement and sanction of
which they hâve advanced to their présent high, respectable and flourishing condition.
And they fervently pray to the Almighty Architect of the Universe to protect and
bless their Noble Brother and his Race."
The ** trying emergency ** mentioned in the foregoing résolution referred to the
Act of Parliament passed in 1799, known as the Secret Societies Act, in which, at the
instance of the Duke of Atholl and the Earl of Moira, certain clauses were inserted
exempting Freemasons* Lodges, under stated conditions, from the penalties of the Act.
A complète list of the titles and distinctions borne by our eminent Brother wonld
be beyond the scope of this paper, suffice it to say that they were mauy, ancient and
honourable, and may be found in the ordinary books of référence. Full particulars of
his domestic relations and much other information are given in the Annual Begister for
1830. He died at his Palace of Dunkeld, after a short illness, on the 29th September,
1830. The foUowing incident in the life of the Duke may be of some interest, as I think
it is not generally known : — " On the Tuesday (the 18th inst.) an attenipt was made by
amannamed James Murray to assassinate his Grâce the Duke of Athol. Murray, under
a pretence of important business, had procured an audience of his Grâce, at one of the
lodges leading to Dunkeld-house, where he handcd his Grâce a letter, containing some
unreasonable demands, and which farther stated, that unless his Grâce complied with
them in a few minutes, he would shoot him. The Duke, wiih singular fortitude and
great présence of mind, seized the pistol as Murray drew it from his pocket, and,calling
on some of his attendants, Murray was immediately secured and taken to tho gaol at
Perth."!
The noble family of Atholl appear to hâve been connected with Freemasonry
from an early period in its history — the Second Duke was présent in the Grand Lodge
of England on the 17th of April, 1735, in company with several other noblemen, at the
Installation of Lord Weymouth as Grand Master— -the Third Duke was Grand Master
of the Ancient Grand Lodge from 1771 untii his death in 1774 — when he was followed
on the Masonic throne by the subject of the présent sketch; he was also Grand Master
of Scotland in 1773, and the Sixth Duke was Grand Master Mason of Scotland from
1843 to 1864. Whether or no the présent Duke is a member of the Order I hâve no
means of ascertaining, and, as my enquiries at the headquarters of Freemasonry in
Scotland hâve not hitherto had a satisfactory resnlt, I hâve refrained from pursuing
my researches in that direction. However, I learn from the reports of the Grand Lodge
of Scotland that the heir-apparent to the dukedom (the Marquess of TuUibardine) is
Grand Master Députe of that Grand Lodge. In addition to the lineal chiefs of the
Murray family numerous other members of that ancient clan hâve been warm supporters
of oiir Order in Kngland as well as " over the border." Indeed, one of the earliest
recorded instances of the admission of a non-operative into the Craft of Masonry is that
of Robert Moray (or Murray), Quarter-Master General of the Scottish Army, who was
made a Mason at Newcastle, by some members of the Lodge of Edinburgh, on the 20th
May, 1G41. Coming to more récent times, there were présent as visitors at the
initiation of the Fourth Duke in 1775, the Hon. Col. Murray and the Hon. Captain
Murray, both members of the Dunkeld Lodge.
The portrait of the Duke of Atholl is reproduced from an engi*aving (in the
Library of the Grand Lodge of England) by Charles Knight in 1811, after a painting
by John Hoppner, R.A.
Henry Sadler.

await the November élections before going to press. The list has, consequently been drawn up
immediately after the October meeting, and Correspondence Members admitted in November will be
found in a supplementary list. Âny altérations for subséquent issues should, therefore, reach the
Secretary before October of each year.
