Editorial e nuevo nos enfrentamos a la edición de un nue- vo número de la Revista Rito Francés, que pese a los buenos deseos hemos tenido que retrasar un par de meses; pese a todo, hoy sacamos el nº 1. El reducido número de colaboradores del Círculo de Estudios de Rito Francés Roettiers de Montaleau, afrontamos esta edición del numero 1 de la revista con ilusión y ganas de aportar más conocimiento y luz tras el éxito que hemos tenido con el numero 0. Algunas agoreros echan por tierra nuestra labor y han marginado y han intenta- do invisibilizar nuestra presencia, plural y universalista, sin ataduras logiales ni obedienciales, y sin más compromiso que poner a disposición de los hermanos y estudiosos e interesados en el Rito Moderno o Francés, unos instrumentos que nos permitan a todos tener algo más de luz sobre el Rito de Fundación, y sus precurso- res “Los Modernos”, y como no, sobre los Hermanos que han ido desarrollando sus praxis rituales desde distintas ópticas, ya desde muy antiguo sin perder de vista el que se considera hoy como Rito de Fundación. Desde la dirección de esta Revista, decir que me importan más bien poco las etique- tas, las rabietas y los etiquetados que suelen provocar nuestros blogs, publicaciones o revistas, porque a decir de las críticas estos nos echan en cara que damos juego a los “Hermanos Separados” [como escribía el Hermano Alec Mellor] y se nos acusa de hacer guerra ritual, cuando en realidad son otros los que plantean en clave de ban- dos al modo de kheibaritas y muslims, no solo la practica ritual “moderna” sino el entorno del Rito Moderno; puesto que algunas de las plataformas de contenidos no han nacido de la necesidad de aumentar el caudal de conocimientos y de aportar luz, sino con otro fin más relacional de acotar terrenos y por tanto se utilizan como herramienta de parcelamientos, no hay nada más que mirar sus aportaciones… Nosotros creemos en la pluralidad y en la diversidad, por este motivo soslayamos los “Ritos correctos” o auténticos; creemos más en los Ritos y en las praxis rituales, y no pensamos que haya unos ritos mejores que otros, tal vez haya unas prácticas más auténticas o mejores que otras, en el sentido de que se permiten menos licen- 4 Editorial - Víctor Guerra García. cias con respecto a las bases “Modernas”., pero en todo caso, respetamos y contem- plamos al mismo nivel todas las prácticas rituales ya que tenemos claro que son la necesidad de cada momento, de cada organismo y de la ideología que impera en esos momentos en cada taller y en los masones que lo impulsan. Puesto que sí nos ponemos en planos “puristas” habría que analizar hasta que punto la codificación de 1783 -1801 que dio como resultado el “Régulateur” no se desmar- có de distintas tendencias rituales, dada la variedad ritualista existente en el siglo XVIII; y si nos ponemos más duros aún, habría que decir que los Rituales de Re- ferencia del GODF poco tienen de “correctos” con respecto a la tradición, sí es que seguimos la línea que marcaba la reflexión que hacía el hermano portugués JXB del Gran Oriente Lusitano(1) . Pero dejemos todas estas diatribas que marean la perdiz y dan poca luz, y analicemos el contenido de la revista Rito Francés. En esta ocasión se abre con un largo trabajo: Matthew Scalan, (joven masón e histo- riador) que nos aporta la biografía y las peripecias de un Gran Maestre, pertenecien- te a los “Modernos”, aunque más bien Warthon es una figura para esconder bajo la alfombra del olvido, tanto a él como sus Gorgomones. Da vergüenza ajena ver los grabados que se hicieron en su época sobre su personalidad. Aunque parece que el personal anda ciertamente interesado en su figura, pues el propio GODF revindica de forma indirecta su paternidad como Jefe de su Obedien- cia, al querer llevar su fundación a 1728 como atestiguan los sellos obedienciales que usan desde hace unos años a esta parte, y con ello está reivindicando la pati- bularia figura de Warthon. Aunque eso no es nuevo, puesto que hasta hace no hace mucho alguna logia de in- vestigación rendía un homenaje a tal francmasón llevando como título distintivo el nombre de Warthon. En este caso, el historiador M. Scalan nos aporta el artículo: Philip Duque de War- thon. Francmasón, jacobita y Conspirador. 1698-1731”. Trabajo que ha traducido Saul Apolinaire, activo miembro del Círculo y editor del Blog La Biblioteca de Ben- jamín Nuestra mirada como ya he expuesto es plural, y la prueba es que dedicamos este segundo número a varios temas que nos parecen interesantes actualmente dentro del panorama de investigación sobre el Rito Moderno, y dentro de ese ámbito que tratamos nos pareció que había que tener un detalle de reconocimiento

  • 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.

  • Ric Berman, Espionage, Diplomacy and the Lodge: Charles Delafaye
    Ric Berman, Espionage, Diplomacy and the Lodge: Charles Delafaye and The Secret Department of the Post Office (Goring Heath: The Old Stables Press, 2017), 299 pages, ISBN 9780995756809. £20.00 Ric Berman’s latest offering provides a fascinating insight into the intelligence war waged by employees of the Whig government against the ever-present threat of Jacobite plots and conspiracies in Britain in the early to mid-eighteenth century. Berman approaches the theme via two related subjects: the freemason, spy-master, Justice of the Peace, Whig and pro-Hanoverian under-secretary for the Northern and Southern departments, Charles Delafaye (1677-1762); and a key tool in the Hanoverian anti-Jacobite arsenal, the aptly named ‘Secret Department of the Post Office’ and its Deciphering Branch. Berman begins by demonstrating how Anderson’s Constitutions of 1723 saw important changes introduced into Freemasonry, including new Masonic ritual passages that reinforced loyalties to the government and monarchy. Berman explains how the formation of Grand Lodge in 1717 (a date challenged by some historians) was in large part a political reaction to the extant Jacobite threat and, in particular, to the Stuart’s attempted restoration of 1715. The illustrious Horn Tavern lodge (and several other London lodges) are shown by Berman to be bastions of pro-Hanoverian loyalty and he identifies several brethren such as Charles Delafaye, Thomas Pelham-Hollis (Secretary of State for the Southern Department) and John Lefebure (Head of the Secret Department of the Post Office) occupying senior positions within Walpole’s Whig government (Robert Walpole was himself a freemason). These posts were concerned with national security, intelligence gathering, counter-surveillance, spying and the opening and decryption of suspected Jacobite or criminal correspondences.

Each of the organizations had a technical dimension, and the people he worked with were often the same people he worked with in politics and science. In the first section of this chapter, we briefly consider the organizations, beginning with a hospital. For twenty years Robert Walpole kept the country in peace and prosperity, during which time several hospitals were established, Westminster in 1720, Guy’s in 1724, and others. These were hospitals in the usual sense of the word. In addition there was a new charitable hospice for unwanted children, the Foundling Hospital (Fig. 5.2). Inspired by foundations for this purpose in Amsterdam, Paris, and elsewhere, the Foundling Hospital was the culmi- nation of an arduous and heartfelt campaign by Thomas Coram on behalf of “great numbers of Helpless Infants daily exposed to Destruction.” The Hospital was incorporated by royal charter in 1739 in a ceremony attended by bankers and merchants from the city and by six dukes and eleven earls, who set the tone of the endeavor.
