The question is this. What is involved by the confirmation of lause with which the severa l speeches were greeted furnished ample tes- minutes ? app Can a resolution carried at one meeting be negatived at the following timony as to the loyalty and fervour of our Scottisli brethren. And regular meeting by the particular minute being negatived ? We answer many of the speeches contained matter that justified almost un- yes, de- cidedly. Some brethren, however, maintain that so long as the minutes bounded applause. The position of the Craft north of the are a correct account of the proceedings of the previous meeting, Tweed is reputable in the highest degree, while the manage- they can- not be objected to, unless the Constitutions or the by-laws require the ment of its affairs, especially when contrasted with what it confir- mation of any particular portion , prior to their taking effect, in which case was some few years since, reflects the greatest credit on the executive that part of the record may be negatived, if so desired. For instance officers of Grand Lodge.

If all minutes which are subject to confirmation , may be negatived and acted upon successfully. Quite recently the Society was in debt ; now or approved , they ask why should the election of Master be thus specified? it is a wealthy body, and laying up for, itself year by year fresh treasure to Does it not suggest that so long as the rules of the Grand Lodge, be employed for the needs of Masonry and its votaries as occasion may or the by-laws declare certain matters as subject to confirmation or reconsidera- requ ire. The number of lodges, especial ly in the British Colonies and pos- tion, that all the other propositions, if correctly recorded , should be sessions abroad, has increased amazingly, while the yearly average of initiates passed ? Brethren desiring an answer to these queries should examine the Freemason or " intrants," as th ey are designated in Scotland , is not far short for February, 1880, and especially consult a letter therein from Bro. THOMAS of 5000. Of course, as we have again and again remarked in reference FENN, President Board of General Purposes (then P.G.D.) Bro. FENN to Masonry in England and elsewhere, mere numbers is by no means to be , who is so familiar with all the clauses of the Constitutions and their regarded as a never-failing criterion of strength . But in the case of the applica- tion and intention in relation to lodges, says emphatically " the princi ple Grand Lodge of Scotland , numerical increase has gone hand in hand with of confirmation which includes the power of rejection or non-confirmation increase in wealth and influence, and therefore we accept it unreservedly as has been recognised in every act of Grand Lodge. It has always been the a substantial part of the evidence which was adduced on this occasion by practice to confirm or reject at one meeting resolutions that have been passed the GRAND M ASTER and other speakers in support of the progress made of at the preceding meeting." Some 25 instances are cited when " the minutes late years by Scottish Freemasonry. In fact, there was noticeable through- were either not confirmed or where motions were made for non-confirmation out the after-dinner proceedings a very natural feeling of pride at the pre- without objection on the point of order." According, therefore, to this sent position and future prospects of the Order in Scotland, but there was view of the matter, which we think the correct one, all minutes should be read capable of sub- about this feeling no exaggeration.

A SHORT MASONIC HISTORY being an account of the growth of Freemasonry, and some of the earlier Secret Societies, by FREDERICK ARMITAGE Solicitoy, Member of the Law Society, Member of Correspondence Circle of Quatuor Coronati Lodge, Member of St. Paul's Ecclesiological Society, S-c. With illustrations. VOL. 1. LONDON: H. WEARE & CO, 64 LEADEN HALL ST.. E.G. 1909 FOREWORD. 'T' HERE is probably no topic of more elusive ^ nature to discourse upon than that of the secret societies which were the ancestors of modern Freemasonry, for the early ones are enshrouded in mystery, and their records have to be dug up from various writers and pieced together like a Mosaic, while with later ones there has always been a striving to find an early original amongst their historians, who fre- quently gave free rein to their fancies. Suc- ceeding authors, awed by the glamour of their topic, have gravely repeated in solemn tones the lighter fancies of their predecessors, and thus the ultimate harvest has been one of mixed grain and cornflowers. From such stories it is the duty of the present-day writer to try to pick out the real from the fanciful, and to tell the tale as it should be told.

Lecturer in Economic History in the University of Sheffield AND DOUGLAS HAMER, M.C., M.A. Lecturer in English Literature in the University of Sheffield THE SECOND EDITION EDITED for QUATUOR CORONATI LODGE by HARRY CARR, P.A.G.D.C., P.M. Published by QUATUOR CORONATI LODGE, NO. 2076, LONDON 1975 PRÉFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION The first edition of this work appeared in 1943 and it was instantly recognized by historians as an indispensable tool for the study of the evolution of early masonic ritual. The book was very soon out of print, and for many years it has been vir- tually unobtainable. That a major work of this calibre should have had to wait twenty years for its second edition is per- haps a sad reflection on the limited field that exists for the more substantial works of masonic scholarship. Yet the work is not a whit less valuable to-day than when it was first published. Nothing has appeared to replace or supersede it, and its splendid thirty-page Introduction is as important to-day as it was in 1943. 1963 QUATUOR CORONATI LODGE No. 2076, LONDON The present-day economics of printing tend to make any venture in the field of masonic publishing a matter of hazardous speculation, but the Standing Committee of the Quatuor Coronati Lodge, No.

  • Divining Zoroastro: Masonic Elements in Handel's Orlando
    Divining Zoroastro: Masonic Elements in Handel’s Orlando William Gibbons Eighteenth-Century Life, Volume 34, Number 2, Spring 2010, pp. 65-82 (Article) Published by Duke University Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/380089 Access provided by Northwestern University Library (22 Aug 2018 23:30 GMT) R Divining Zoroastro: Masonic Elements in Handel’s Orlando William Gibbons University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill The magician Zoroastro casts a long shadow over George Frideric Handel’s opera Orlando (1733). He opens the first act with a dramatic monologue, and throughout the work it is only his intervention that keeps the hero Orlando from wreaking too much havoc in his madness. Eventually, it is Zoroastro who brings the opera to a peaceful conclusion, restoring Orlando to reason by means of a magical potion. Despite his central significance in Handel’s work, however, the character Zoroastro is absent from Carlo Sigismondo Capece’s libretto (1711) that forms the basis for Orlando’s text, and the magi- cian appears in only a single fleeting reference in Ludovico Ariosto’s epic Orlando furioso, the literary source of the libretto. In fact, it is difficult to find any simple explanation for Zoroastro’s presence in Orlando. In the words of Handel scholar Winton Dean, Zoroastro’s “commanding figure shifts the whole focus of the plot, introducing elements of magic and spec- tacle and controlling the destiny of the characters by acting as a benevo- lent deus ex machina. Where did he come from, and who brought him into Orlando?”1 Answering these apparently simple questions is a complex task, but one with major implications for how we can interpret the work as a reflection of eighteenth-century London culture.

  • Circulation Paper – Not for Republication 1717 and All That
    Circulation Paper – Not for Republication 1717 and All That Andrew Prescott and Susan Mitchell Sommers I In 1964, the Regius Professor of Modern History, Vivian Galbraith, published An Introduction to the Study of History.1 One chapter was entitled ‘Historical Research in Action’ and consisted of a case study. The example Galbraith chose was the reign of King Alfred the Great and in particular the biography of Alfred by a monk called Asser on which much of our knowledge of the king depends. Galbraith reviewed the history of Asser’s text and argued that it was a forgery, compiled in Exeter in the eleventh century. Professor Galbraith’s criticisms caused a storm in the world of Anglo-Saxon studies. Another distinguished historian, this time in Cambridge, countered with evidence that the biography of Alfred was genuine.2 The consensus now is that the Asser is genuine, but the reverberations of Galbraith’s intervention are still evident – in 1995 another major study appeared which again argued that Asser was a forgery.3 This is how historical research progresses – not by the simple accumulation of materials, but rather by cross-questioning and reassessing our sources and continually looking at them from different angles. Historical sources are complex objects and do not reveal all their secrets at first reading. As we look at them in different ways, they tell different stories and we can see nuances we missed before.4 As new sources are found, our existing sources start to fall together in different patterns. Historians constantly revisit and reconsider their sources, and this is what we will be doing in this symposium today.

Fortunately the enterprise of the publishers has secured the services of Mr. Lionel Vibert, who as Editor of Miscella?iea Latomorum and author of some charming little volumes on old-time masonry, brings to bear on his present task both knowledge of masonic literature and care in tracing out and marshalling for our benefit the facts here embodied in a concise and orderly form. The masonic student will find this work of material value for reference and comparison ; the collector will likewise have a competent authority to consult; while the beginner will probably be encouraged to investigate more closely that class of scarce books which might otherwise never have been brought to his notice.
