The Architecture of Joseph Michael Gandy (1771-1843) and Sir John Soane (1753-1837): An Exploration Into the Masonic and Occult Imagination of the Late Enlightenment Abstract In examining select works of English architects Joseph Michael Gandy and Sir John Soane, this dissertation is intended to bring to light several important parallels between architectural theory and freemasonry during the late Enlightenment. Both architects developed architectural theories regarding the universal origins of architecture in an attempt to establish order as well as transcend the emerging historicism of the early nineteenth century. There are strong parallels between Soane's use of architectural narrative and his discussion of architectural 'model' in relation to Gandy's understanding of 'trans-historical' architecture. The primary textual sources discussed in this thesis include Soane's Lectures on Architecture, delivered at the Royal Academy from 1809 to 1836, and Gandy's unpublished treatise entitled the Art, Philosophy, and Science of Architecture, circa 1826.

It was celebrated by many Brothers, family members, and friends. We congratulate these lodges on reaching this point of longevity and were honored to have taken part in these historic events. A bright future for all of our lodges will be assured with high moral standards and Masonic teachings. Veterans Day was on November 11, 2019. A day we set aside to honor our Veterans and to remember the sacrifices of those who fought in all our nation’s wars, to celebrate the contributions of all Veterans of Military service and en- sure that an appreciation of the values they fought for will live on in all Ameri- cans. I had the opportunity to attend the 12th Annual Appreciation Day at the Danville National Guard Armory. We, the Masons of Kentucky, are proud to help sponsor this event. It is my hope that each of you had the opportunity to spend time with family Geary F. Laird Grand Master 2019-2020 and friends over the Thanksgiving Holiday. We have so much for which to be grateful—the many blessings we enjoy with our families, our friends and with our extended Masonic family, our freedoms and the food we have to eat.

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.

  • Freemasonry from England to The
    R.W. Douglas L. Jordan, K.Y.C.H., K.C.C.H., O.P.C. Past District Deputy Grand Master Past Grand High Priest Grand Governor for Virginia, YRSC of NA I . Where did Masonry start? Without a doubt, Masonry has existed from the time when "the memory of man runneth not to the contrary" - that is from "time immemorial." Some Masonic writers in the late 190' Century claimed Noah as our founder. Those of us who have had the pleasure of witnessing Springfield Lodge's presentation on Cleopatra's Needle are aware of the very Masonic symbols that were found under the base of an Egyptian obelisk that was erected about 1500 B.C. John Robinson in Born in Blood provides much evidence that we owe our lodges to the Knights Templar who needed a cover following their suppression by the Catholic Church in 1307. The most generally accepted view, points to the guilds of freemasons. Operative masons have always been involved in the building of temples and other monuments from antiquity to the present day. Written evidence indicates that sometime before 926 AD masons had formed guilds or lodges but appear to have had some problems in their government. The Regius Poem or Halliwell Manuscript, which dates from 1390, tells how Athelstan, King of All England, called an Assembly at York in 926 to consider the government of the Master Masons and Craftsmen. At this assembly, fifteen Articles were adopted for the government of the Master Mason. These Articles include that: The Master must be steadfast, trusty and true.

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.

  • Chapter Thirty-Four Retrenchment and Revival in Western Christianity, to Ca. 1750 in the Seventeenth Century Men of Science
    Chapter Thirty-four Retrenchment and Revival in Western Christianity, to ca. 1750 In the seventeenth century men of science, philosophers, and textual critics of the Bible had given western Christendom a powerful push toward the Enlightenment, but western Christendom was far too deeply established to be quickly undone. If we place the beginning of modernity late in the eighteenth century - with the commencement of the Industrial Revolution and capitalist economic theory, the formation of the United States of America, the French Revolution, and the crystalizing of nationalism - for a long time after Spinoza, Newton and Locke the scriptures were still fundamental for western European civilization. In the late seventeenth and the eighteenth century new and more emotional forms of Christianity emerged in Germany and Britain. Several important Christian doctrines, however, were losing their credibility. During the first half of the eighteenth century many Christians in western Europe and Britain abandoned doctrines that had scarcely been questioned in earlier times. The “reasonable” form to which in some quarters Christianity was reduced during the Enlightenment was quite different from what Christianity - whether Protestant or Catholic - had been in the sixteenth century. As Christianity (and eventually Judaism) was pruned back, western Christendom began to evolve into modern civilization. The cooling of Protestantism in Britain Although important steps toward the Enlightenment were taken in France, the Netherlands and some of the German states, even more important were events and attitudes in Britain. The Scientific Revolution in the seventeenth century and the Glorious Revolution of 1688-89 had instilled in many English citizens a confidence in the future and in parliamentary government that made possible the creation of a maritime empire.
