Robert Macoy, who published it on his own account, an edition of the Grand Constitutions of 1 762, and the Statutes, Institutes and Regulations of the Rite of Perfection subsequent thereto, and of the Latin Grand Constitutions of 1786, and the Statutes of the Supreme Council for the Southern Jurisdiction. In this work, these, with additions, are published by that Supreme Council. Thory, {Acta Latomorum, i. 79,) says: " 1762, 21 Septem- ber.—Committees from the Council of Emperors of the East and West at Paris, and the Council of Princes of the Royal Secret, framed, at Bordeaux, the Regulations of the Masonry of Perfection, in thirty-five Articles, and fixed the degrees administered by the Council." All the other French writers of Masonic History state the same, with little or no additional information. Copies of these Constitutions and Regulations of 1762, and of the subsequent Statutes, Institutes and Regulations, of unknown date and uncertain authenticity, which follow the Constitutions in this volume, were published in French, (5) PREFATORY. g at Paris, in the " Recueil des Actes du Supreme Conseil de France," in 1832, by authority of that body. In the Archives of the Supreme Council for the Southern Jurisdiction, at Charleston, is a book, in manuscript, writ- ten by the Bro.-. Jean Baptiste Marie Delahogue, father-in- law of the Bro.-. Comte Alexandre Frangois Auguste de Grasse, in 1798 and 1799; containing among other docu- ments, a copy of the Constitutions of 1762, and of other Stat- utes and Regulations; all authenticated by his signature and that of the Bro.-. Comte de Grasse; and under the Seal of the Sublime Grand Council of the Princes of the Royal Secret, then in existence and sitting at Charleston. The Comte de Grasse was a member of the Supreme Council at Charleston, and its Grand Representative for the French West Indian Islands, where he established a Supreme Council, at Port-au-Prince, in 1803, and thence went to France, and there in 1804 established the Supreme Council of France. The Bro.-. Delahogue was commis- sioned by the Supreme Council for the United States at Charleston to extend the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite in Louisiana, went to Santo Domingo with the Bro.-. de Grasse, was Lieut.-. Gr.-. Commander of the Council established there ; and accompanied him to France, and held the same office in the Supreme Council of France. There is also in the same Archives another book, being the register delivered by the Bro.-. Jean Baptiste AveilM, Deputy Grand Inspector-General and Prince Mason, to the Bro.-. Pierre Dupont Delorme, Deputy Gr.-. Insp.-. Gen- eral and Prince Mason, at Port-au-Prince, on the loth of December, 1797, containing the same and other docu- PREFATORY. 7 ments. In this book, there is attached to the copy of each document a copy of a certificate that it is a correct copy, of the Bros.-. Hyman Isaac Long, Jean Baptiste Marie Dela- kogue, Auguste de Grasse, Dominique Saint Paul, Alexis Claude Robin and Remy Victor Petit, Dep'y-'. Insps.-. General and Princes Masons, given at Charleston, on the 9th of June, 1799; with the certificate of the Bro.-. Aveilh6, dateo, loth December, 1797; and each is visd by the Bro.-. de Grasse, as Sov.-. Gr.-. Insp.-. General, 33d degree, on the 12th of March, 1802. In the copies in this latter book are many obvious er- rors but in ; substance they agree with those more accu- rately made by the Bro.-. Delahogue. The copies in the Recueil des Actes differ in many respects from both. Some of the variations are evidently caused by alterations purposely made, of later date. The copy by the Bro.-. Delahogue purports to be a copy of a copy delivered in 1768 by the Bro.-. Stephen Morin to the Bro.-. Henry A. Francken ; and is evidently the most authentic. That in the Recueil des Actes was undoubtedly furnished from Charleston, and is not in any way authen- ticated. We here publish these Constitutions, with the subsequent Institutes, Statutes and. Regulations, according to the Bro.-. Delahogue's copy, even in which there are some obvious mistakes, which it is not in my power to correct. Even errors in grammar I have left uncorrected, my object being to give a literal copy of each document, preserving even the faulty or antique orthography, from the old man- uscripts in the Archives at Charleston. I have also carefully scrutinized and corrected the trans- ; 8 PREFATORY. that learned lation into English, and venture to hope readers will find it correct. " To these are appended the " Ordinances of the Chapter of Rose Croix, from the old MSS. mentioned in the caption. These are followed by a Historical Inquiry in regard to the authenticity of the Latin Constitutions of 1786; and this by the Constitutions themselves, with translations into French and English. The French translation is that pub- lished in 1859, and as then made by the 111.-. Bro.-. Charles Laffon de Ladebat, 33d, of Louisiana, Active Member of the Supreme Council. I have carefully re-translated them into English, correcting some errors of the original trans- lation, and making the re-translation more close and literal. These are followed by the French imperfect version of the same, with preface and translation. Then follow Avhat have been known as " The Secret Con- stitutions," in French, with a translation, and after these the Statutes of the Supreme Council for the Southern Jurisdiction and its rolls of membership of different years. Containing the only complete body of the law of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, that has ever been published, it is hoped that this book may be approved by the Brethren of the Order. It is published by authority of the Supreme Council and, to be used and enforced, needs no further authentica- tion. Albert Pike, 33d. Bov/. Gr.' Com.". Ob.-, ov WABHrNGTON, D. C, 25 a.-.

John Lydgate (c.1370-1449/50?), Everything to His Semblable 1 I On 24 June 1721, John, 2nd Duke of Montagu, was elected Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Freemasons in London. This was a momentous event for the fledgling Grand Lodge, since it was the first time since its creation four years previously that a nobleman had accepted the office of Grand Master. Among those present was the antiquary William Stukeley, who afterwards benefited greatly from Montagu’s patronage.1 In his diary, Stukeley described how, during the meeting of Grand Lodge, Montagu’s predecessor as Grand Master, George Payne, ‘producd an old MS of the Constitutions which he got in the west of England 500 years old’.2 Stukeley made drawings of the manuscript shown to the Grand Lodge by Payne which establish that it was the volume which is today Additional Manuscript 23198 in the British Library, known, after its first editor, as the Cooke manuscript.3 The Cooke manuscript is in Middle English prose, and the appearance of its handwriting suggests that it was not as old as Stukeley thought, but was compiled in the fifteenth century.4 It contains a legendary history of the craft of stonemasonry and regulations for stonemasons.

  • Three New Knights of the White and Black Eagle Join the Valley in April
    A weekly publication of highlights and progress of the Hanford Tank Operations Contractor, Washington River Protection Solutions Issue 201/Jan. 28, 2013 Issue 3 April 2013 Three New Knights of the White and Black Eagle Join the Valley in April Congratulations to our 2013 Class who were knighted this week and who’s names were enrolled into the illustrious title of Knight Kadosh. Here is a brief outline of the history and lesson of this most important degree of freemasonry. - Venerable Master, John Lawson History The earliest recorded portrayal of the “Knight Kadosh” degree can be linked to the Council of Emperors of the East and West in 1758. This council united several Masonic degrees being conducted in eighteenth-century Paris, France. The “Knight Kadosh,” or originally “Illustrious and Grand Commander of the White and Black Eagle, Grand Elect Kadosh,” was part of a full complement of twenty-five degrees or grades governed by this council. The “Knight Kadosh” was the twenty-fourth degree of this complement. In 1801, the first and oldest Supreme Council of the Scottish Rite was founded in Charleston, South Carolina. This body adopted many of the degrees of the Council of Emperors of the East and West, including that of “Knight Kadosh.” The “Knight Kadosh” degree was adopted as the thirtieth degree and was simply titled “Knight Kadosh.”The degree received a substantial re-write in the 1850s when Albert Pike was Grand Commander of the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States. It was further revised in 2000. A different form of the Knight Kadosh degree, using a ritual not authored by Pike, was for many years performed in the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction of the United States, headquartered at Lexington, Massachusetts.

BOYDEN, 33° HON. of the Supreme Council 33° WASHINGTON 1921 ALBERT PIKE. Albert Pike, son of Benjamin and Sarah (Andrews) Pike, was born in Boston, Massachusetts, December 29, 1809. About four years after- ward his father removed to Newburyport in the same State. Here the child grew to manhood, getting the usual education of the times in the common schools, supplemented by a few terms at a private school in the same town and at the academy in Fraraingham. He began to teach school at the age of fifteen and when he was sixteen, he passed an examination for and entered the freshman class at Harvard. Owing to the straitened circumstances of his family, it was necessary' for him to earn the money to pay for his board and tuition, which he did by teaching during the fall and winter at Gloucester. He fitted himself while teaching to enter the junior class in the fall of 1826 and passed the necessary examination, but owing his fees <z> to a misunderstanding with the faculty regarding tuition he C returned home and educated himself, going through the prescribed course of studies for the junior and senior years while teaching. He taught in Fairhaven and afterward as assistant and principal in the grammar school at Newburyport, and then for several j'ears in a private school in the latter town, until March, 1831. - In the spring of 1831 he started for the west walking much of the way, and for the next few years traveled, explored, traded and lived 5» among the Indians, learning their language and customs, and by his ^ honest and straightforward association with them, gained a confidence ^ which thirty years afterwards, during the great Civil War, made him § so useful and powerful among them for the cause of the Confederacy which he espoused.

  • The Double-Headed Eagle of Lagash Sir Knights Benjamin F
    The Double-Headed Eagle of Lagash Sir Knights Benjamin F. Hill, Knight Templar Cross of Honor Grand Commander, Grand Commandery Knights Templar of Virginia 2020 In heraldry, the Double-Headed Eagle has long been a symbol of power and dominion; it is associated with the concept of Empire. It originated in the Hittite Empire, modern Turkey and Syria in the 18th to 12th Century Before Christ and as the “Bird of the Sun” represented the “King of Heaven.” The Double-Headed Eagle was used in the Byzantine Empire art in the 10th and 11th Century After Christ as an empirical emblem. In the Seljuk dynasty 13th Century, the Double- Headed Eagle was used to represent royal associations. The Roman Empire used the Double- Headed Eagle to represent its dominion over Constantinople in the East and Rome in the West. It was adopted by the Russians, Poles, Serbians, Prussians, Austrians, and Saxons. Today, it is used as a private seal, on flags, and on many of the coats of arm in Germany, Spain, France, Netherlands, England, and Russia. The Double-Headed Eagle of Lagash is also a symbol for the Thirty-Second and Thirty-Third Degrees of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. The number 32 inside the triangle represents the 32⁰ degree of the Scottish Rite. The Latin motto, “Spes mea in Deo est,” means “My hope is in God.” As far as is known, the Double-Headed Eagle was first used in Freemasonry in 1758 by the Council of the Emperors of the East and West who controlled the “higher, or advanced, degrees at the time.

The original compilation of information, now greatly expanded, was offset printed and bound into gold colored, three-ring binders. Hence the name The Golden Book. Though some of the information became dated the book, because of limited printing and the then significant costs of reproduction, took on a value similar to the precious metal of its title. Those fortunate Brothers who possessed a copy guarded it dearly and tended to take it with them to the grave. Consequently, and ironically considering the title, the book took on a mystery akin to the Lost Dutchman Mine.
