  • Transactions Part 3
    Transactions of the Lyceum Lodge of Research Volume 3 Transcriptions of papers presented during 1982 Published 1983 Johannesburg, South Africa i | Page W.Bro. George Kendall Master of Lyceum Lodge of Research 1983 ii | Page Foreword With the advent of micro-computers and the growing use of word-processors this issue may well be one of the last in its present form. It is quite obvious that these Transactions of Lyceum Lodge published in 1983 do not have left and right justification of its pages. It contains many spelling errors because the lectures are, for the most part, those actually used by the speaker when delivering the papers within the Lodge. In most cases they have typed the script themselves or had it typed by their secretary who may know nothing whatsoever about Freemasonry or the subject of the lecture. They are printed “warts and all” with only the more obvious mistakes sometimes altered and therefore come across with probably more of the lecturer’s true style than they would if edited. As such, they may prove in future years to become collectors’ items. Maybe there will be photocopy special editions printed for the edification of our successors long after we have departed to the Grand Lodge Above. For the record, only fifty copies of Volume I were printed and 100 of Volume 2. The first printing of this Volume 3 is again 100 but future editions will have to be increased especially in view of our rapidly increasing Correspondence Circle. So far, all copies have been made on members’ office copying machines - hence the rather varying quality.
