The Committee met, on the kind invitation of Bro. Professor Hayter Lewis, at 12, Kensington Gardens Square, W., on Friday, 14tli December, 1888, at 6 p.m. P;-e.senf:—Bros. W. Simpson, W.M., in the chair; Col. S. C.Pratt, S.W. ; W. M. Bywater, J.W. Prof. T. Hayter-Lewis, S.D. ; Dr. W. W. Westcott, J.D. ; R. F. Gould, I.P.M. ; W. H. Eylandsj and G. W. Speth, Secretary. The Secretary produced his books and the Treasurer's accounts, which were examined by the Committee and are certified correct. The Committee agreed upon the following REPORT: "Worshipful Master and Brethren, In submitting our annual financial statement to the Lodge, we are pleased to have little to record that is not of a highly satisfactory nature. Last year we ventured to liken our Lodge to a healthy infant, bright-eyed and strong-limbed, setting forth on a career of promise. The promise of infancy has been realized, the child has grown into a youth, still young, but already possessed of vigorous frame, betokening a healthy development. The full pride of manhood approaches with rapid strides ; let us bestir ourselves to remove every obstacle from its path. We entered upon the past year with a membership of twenty-one, which, by the accession of Bros. Whymper, Castle, Macbean, Goldney, aud Williams, reached twenty-six. The lamented death of the Doyen of our Corps, Bro. the Rev. A. F. A. Woodford, on the 23rd December, 1887, reduces this number to twenty-five. Bro. Woodford was loved and reverenced by all, his place in our ranks will long remain un- filled, and his death is the chief shadow cast upon a very happy and prosperous year. Of resignations there are none to record, and three eminent brothers are at this moment candidates for admission into our Inner Circle. It will thus be seen that we "make haste slowly," and this is as it should be ; for in the Quatuor Coronati it is emphatically quality and not quantity that is wanted. During the past year we have met six times, and those present have, on each occasion, been privilege! to listen to a paper of which no society in the world need be ashamed. Am Quatuor Coronatorum has been issued in three instalments, Parts III., IV., and V., and the valuable contributions therein published, cannot fail to enhance our reputation in the Craft and the world outside it. Our Correspondence Circle has increased from 179 to 470 members. At least that was the figure on the 1st December, when our books were balanced; it has since been considerably augmented, because candidates present themselves daily. In all, since the commencement, 481 have applied and been admitted ; but of these, the deaths of three have been recorded at various times, four have resigned, and four have joined the lodge. As might be anticipated, among the new members are many whose names are well known as Masonic historians and students, and one favourable symptom is the increasing extent to which Lodges and other Masonic Associations are joining in their corporate capacity.

At the beginning of the long eighteenth century this notion circulated in both medical and popular understandings of pregnancy, however by the nineteenth century the concept was largely dismissed in the medico-scientific community. This thesis charts the discursive migration of the concept of maternal imagination in a way that complicates the standard chronology. I argue that the discourse was widely dispersed and played a role in significant cultural debates concerning man- midwifery, politeness, domestic hierarchy, gender roles, and the philosophy of creative imagination.

  • FREEMASONRY and SOCIAL ENGLAND in the EIGHTEENTH CENTURY by Wor
    FREEMASONRY AND SOCIAL ENGLAND IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY by Wor. Bro. GILBERT W. DAYNES The subject I have selected for my Paper this evening is one concerning which little or no attention has apparently been paid by students. Many books have been written in which the social conditions existing in England in the 18th century have been passed under review, and we have also Histories of Freemasonry in England during the same period, but in neither case has any serious attempt been made to connect the widespread growth and universality of the latter with any of the improved conditions of the former. It is, I fear, quite impossible in the time at my disposal to analyse with any considerable detail the various facts concerning Freemasonry, which may have affected the social life of England as a whole ; but I will endeavour to set before you, in as brief a manner as possible, the principles and tenets inculcated in Freemasonry from the early part of the 18th century, and indicate broadly the lines upon which further investigation might be undertaken, with the view of ascertaining, if possible, the effect of these teachings of Freemasonry upon the social conditions then existing. From the 13th century, and probably even earlier, Masons, when congregated together, appear to have met in Lodges - then the workroom attached to the building in progress. At the beginning of the 18th century only a few such groups remained, such as those at Alnwick and Swalwell - then meeting in taverns - whose records survive to show that they existed for the operative purpose of regulating the Masons' trade.

I dedicate it firstly to my husband Jonathan, who I love and admire more every day, and who can take on anything from playing jazz saxophone and writing business books, to plumbing and laying floors whilst solving random problems of every kind.

  • The Architects of Eighteenth Century English Freemasonry, 1720 – 1740
    The Architects of Eighteenth Century English Freemasonry, 1720 – 1740 Submitted by Richard Andrew Berman to the University of Exeter as a Thesis for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Research in History 15 December 2010. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis that is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other university. R A Berman 1 | P a g e Abstract Following the appointment of its first aristocratic Grand Masters in the 1720s and in the wake of its connections to the scientific Enlightenment, ‘Free and Accepted’ Masonry rapidly became part of Britain’s national profile and the largest and arguably the most influential of Britain’s extensive clubs and societies. The new organisation did not evolve naturally from the mediaeval guilds and religious orders that pre-dated it, but was reconfigured radically by a largely self-appointed inner core. Freemasonry became a vehicle for the expression and transmission of the political and religious views of those at its centre, and for the scientific Enlightenment concepts that they championed. The ‘Craft’ also offered a channel through which many sought to realise personal aspirations: social, intellectual and financial. Through an examination of relevant primary and secondary documentary evidence, this thesis seeks to contribute to a broader understanding of contemporary English political and social culture, and to explore the manner in which Freemasonry became a mechanism that promoted the interests of the Hanoverian establishment and connected and bound a number of élite metropolitan and provincial figures.
