PEEFACE. The Second Volume of the Eeprint of the Proceedings of the Grand Lodge covers the years from 1801 to 1810, inclusive. We have reached the point in the Proceedings of the Grand Lodge when, on account of there being a, larger number of Lodges, more business was transacted, and more space required to record the proceedings. They lose nothing of their interest, however, by being recorded more fuUy, but, on the other hand, it makes the work all the more interesting as a historical work, both as regards the Grand Lodge and the Subordinate Lodges in Pennsylvania. During the period that James Milnor was R. W. Grand Master, (1806-1813, ) the Grand Officers began to pay more attention to the Subordinate Lodges in the way of visitations, and in this vol- ume wiU be found several of Grand Master Milnor' s addresses de- livered on those occasions. They are able papers, and contain advice that is as applicable to-day to the Lodges in Pennsylvania as it was eighty-five years ago. Much care has been taken in the preparation of a copious index for this volume, following the general style of the index of Volume L , except that the Lodges are all indexed by their numbers. In cases where Lodges have a name, it is given in the proper place under the letter in the index, and a reference made as to where it can be found, as follows: " Montgomery Lodge, No. 19, Philadel- phia (see Lodge No. 19)." It is the intention of the Library Committee to issue the suc- ceeding volumes of the Reprint, at the rate of two volumes each year. The last volume will contain a list of the names of all subscribers for the work. : : MINUTES AND PROCEEDINGS. St- John's Day, Philadelphia, Wednesday, 24* June, Anno Lucis 6801.

This justification may be found in the fact that the tract at all times has been an active, living and useful trust, unique in character, and almost without its counterpart in this or any sister state and reflecting in our original settlers the ancient customs and habits of the land from which they came. Just when New Castle Common had its origin has not, as yet, been definitely determined. As first actually located by metes and bounds in 1704 it consisted of 1068 acres of land near New Castle, Delaware, and must not be confused with other and smaller lots in which some right of common existed. I It has generally been assumed and often stated as a fact that New Castle Common had its origin in a grant from William Penn in 1701 and thus many are led to believe that it was to the generosity of Penn that we are indebted for the Common.

KEITH, Litt.D., Vice-President of The Historical Society of Pennsylvania and President of The Church Historical Society In Colonial times, the Bishop of London was deemed to have the particular care of the American congrega- tions adhering to the doctrine and worship of the Church of England. Among the tablets in our chancel, erected some years ago by the Colonial Dames of Amer- ica, Chapter II., is one to Henry Compton, Bishop of London from 1675 until his death in 1713; a character who will strike some people's fancy for having, in half military costume, led a troop of horse to defend the Princess Anne, afterwards Queen, from her father, King James II., but, who on the other hand, deserves more honor for having advised William Penn to buy the Indians' land instead of grabbing it. We are con- cerned this afternoon with Compton's care of the church in Pennsylvania, causing his name to head the tablet which has just been unveiled commemorating our Clergy. At the consideration of Penn's Charter by the Lords for Trade, Compton tried unsuccessfully to se- cure some perquisites for the support of clergymen, and he succeeded in obtaining toleration for the un- popular religion, and the right for himself and his successors to appoint the ministers thereof. The Charter contains the clause:
