As far, therefore, as the old English Constitutions never consent to forego the pleasure of playing his part in and other printed matter is concerned, I have had the the show. For these several reasons I feel satisfied that same chance of getting information as Bro. Sadler himself no ceremony of installation of Officers for old Lodges was had. I also read " Pacts and Fictions " before I ordained bv Anderson, either in 1723 or in 1738. wrote aline in opposition to the theory propounded therein. Again, I have no doubt that Henry Price brought over But, with the utmost care, a man is liable sometimes to with him to Boston the English ritual for every Masonic overlook or forget something, and in such a case, especially purpose.

In another Boston but I forgot his mention of two Warrants, of 1757 and record of a Lodge, of about 1784, 1 found that the new 1759.

About two or* to the Warrants, &c. sent to Nova Scotia in 1757, wherein three years after it was visited by a Scotch Mason, York descent was claimed by Dermott, and this furnished through whose influence the Grand Lodge of Scotland Bro.

But here again Now I can , with equal reason say, that Bro. Sadler has no hint of such a ceremony could I find before near not carefully read his own " Facts and Fictions ;" for on the close of the last century. With these facts before me, page 130 of the said book is printed this, " The earliest I am justified in inferring that the installation ceremony for complete Ancient's Warrant which I met with is dated officers of an old Lodge, owed its origin either to Ireland 16th November 1772," hence I have only repeated what or to the Ancients.

Again , to my statement that Second, with regard to the transposition of certain words, the Nova Scotia Warrants, &c, of 1757 were not signed by I have reason to believe that as late as 1742 no change the Grand Master, Bro.

ROBERT FREKE GOULD, P.G.D., to the literature of the Craft merit a more than passing acknowledgment. Entering this field of labour so far back as 1858, he was for many years a contributor to the Masonic Journals, but he will be best known as the author of "The Four Old Lodges ;" " The Atholl Lodges ;" and last, though not least, of " The History of Freemasonry," which is admitted by all authorities to be the ablest and best Masonic work ever written. Since its production , it is no longer possible to affirm, as has been constantly done by foes and friends alike, that the great body of Freemasons are without a reliable and critical history of their Society. It is hoped that the brethren whose names are subjoined may prove to be the pioneers of a movement which will sho** to Bro. GOULD that the long years of study and research which he has devoted to the interest of Free- masonry are deemed worthy of substantial recognition by the Craft Universal, who in this way will best evince a genuine appreciation of his unexampled labours. In pursuance of the above object the undermentioned brethren have therefore formed themselves into a Committee. Individual subscriptions (but not those of Lodges or other Bodies) are limited to One Guinea. Contributions to the Fund may be sent to Dr. RALPH GOODING, P.G.D., Hon. Sec. and ad interim Treasurer Heath Lodge, The Grove, Blackheath, S.E., and will be duly acknowledged. COMMITTEE. CHAIRMAN. —The EARL OF CARNARVON Pro Grand Master. MEMBERS. Bro.
