Deae Sie and Beothee : The first volume of "Old Masonic Lodges in Pennsylvania," which has been prepared, under the direction of the Committee on Library of the Grand Lodge, by Brother Julius F. Sachse, Litt.D., Librarian, has been examined, and its publication is hereby authorized. A great amount of valuable and interesting information re- garding these old Lodges and our Brethren of the Eighteenth Century has thus been made available to the Craft. Fraternally yours. FOREWORD. ^/^ERETOFOKE it was believed that at the burning of jla the Masonic Hall in Philadelphia, standing on the > north side of Chestnut Street, between Seventh and Eighth Streets, on the night of March 9, A. D. 1819, A. L. 5819, that all of the old records of the Provincial Grand Lodge, which had survived the Revolutionary period, and the records of the present Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, prior to the fire, were destroyed in that disastrous conflagration and it is so stated in various publications concerning the Masonic history of Pennsylvania, Upon that eventful night, however, many of the old records and papers were fortunately saved, and taken to the house of the Grand Secretary, R. W. Bro. George A. Baker, Jr., at the northeast corner of Fourth and Cherry Streets. These docu- ments in February, 1824, were listed by R. W. Bro. Bernard Dahlgren, Bro. Baker's successor in office as Grand Secretary, after which he placed them in six strong wooden boxes, which were securely locked and sealed. They were then successively stored in the rebuilt Chestnut Street Hall, the "Washington or Third Street Hall, the Masonic Hall of 1855 (also on Chestnut Street), and lastly, in one of the vaults in the new Masonic Temple, at Broad and Filbert Streets, in 1873. Here these boxes remained for years unknown and for- gotten, until after the death of R. W. Grand Secretary, Bro. Michael Nisbet, in 1896, when it occurred to Bro. John A. vii SDlti S$tifionit %ohst& in ^ttin^^lbania Perry, Deputy Grand Secretary, to open them and investigate their contents. Upon seeing what they contained, he at once recognized their great historic value, and brought his impor- tant discovery to the notice of the Grand Officers, who now after a lapse of some years have placed them at the disposal of the Committee on Library, under whose sanction the Libra- rian and Curator is arranging, collating and indexing these precious Masonic documents, which are not merely of value to the Masonic Fraternity, but to the community at large, on account of their historical import. This action of the Grand Officers and the Committee on Library, has made possible the compilation of an authentic history of such old Provincial and Subordinate Lodges of both the so-called "Moderns" and "Ancients," warranted in years gone by, by the Grand Lodges of Pennsylvania, both the "Moderns" of 1731, and the "Ancients" of 1761, which for some reasons have either ceased to exist, or now owe fealty to some Sister Grand Lodge, and whose numbers, consequently, are no longer found upon the roster of the "R. W. Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, and Masonic Jurisdiction Thereunto Belonging." The bringing of these documents to light, also opens up to us an insight into the Masonic life and activity during the Revolutionary times, showing how many of the prominent actors therein owed Masonic fealty to the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania. Further than that, they also show that that governing Body was the chief Masonic organization in the Western "World, no other Grand Lodge in America granting so many warrants for the erection of Masonic Lodges in the adjoining Colonies, the Revolutionary army, or outlying counties, or having the same of local number Subordinate Lodges under its juris- diction. viii jacfinpinlttismtntst Ample credit must be given to the present R. W. Grand Secretary, Bro. John A. Perry, for courtesies extended to the compiler of this work, and help in the verification of hereto- fore vague traditions and in the completing of the lists of members, and to Bro. Daniel W. Nead, Past Master of Colonial Lodge, No. 631, for the very full and complete index. Special acknowledgments are also due to Bro. James M. Lamberton, Past Master of Perseverance Lodge No. 21, Senior Grand Deacon and Chairman of the Committee on Corre- spondence of the Grand Lodge, for the many valuable sugges- tions in the preparation of copy, and the revision of the proof.

  • Interaction and Perception in Anglo-German Armies: 1689-1815
    Interaction and Perception in Anglo-German Armies: 1689-1815 Mark Wishon Ph.D. Thesis, 2011 Department of History University College London Gower Street London 1 I, Mark Wishon confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 ABSTRACT Throughout the ‘long eighteenth century’ Britain was heavily reliant upon soldiers from states within the Holy Roman Empire to augment British forces during times of war, especially in the repeated conflicts with Bourbon, Revolutionary, and Napoleonic France. The disparity in populations between these two rival powers, and the British public’s reluctance to maintain a large standing army, made this external source of manpower of crucial importance. Whereas the majority of these forces were acting in the capacity of allies, ‘auxiliary’ forces were hired as well, and from the mid-century onwards, a small but steadily increasing number of German men would serve within British regiments or distinct formations referred to as ‘Foreign Corps’. Employing or allying with these troops would result in these Anglo- German armies operating not only on the European continent but in the American Colonies, Caribbean and within the British Isles as well. Within these multinational coalitions, soldiers would encounter and interact with one another in a variety of professional and informal venues, and many participants recorded their opinions of these foreign ‘brother-soldiers’ in journals, private correspondence, or memoirs. These commentaries are an invaluable source for understanding how individual Briton’s viewed some of their most valued and consistent allies – discussions that are just as insightful as comparisons made with their French enemies.

  • FREEMASONRY and SOCIAL ENGLAND in the EIGHTEENTH CENTURY by Wor
    FREEMASONRY AND SOCIAL ENGLAND IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY by Wor. Bro. GILBERT W. DAYNES The subject I have selected for my Paper this evening is one concerning which little or no attention has apparently been paid by students. Many books have been written in which the social conditions existing in England in the 18th century have been passed under review, and we have also Histories of Freemasonry in England during the same period, but in neither case has any serious attempt been made to connect the widespread growth and universality of the latter with any of the improved conditions of the former. It is, I fear, quite impossible in the time at my disposal to analyse with any considerable detail the various facts concerning Freemasonry, which may have affected the social life of England as a whole ; but I will endeavour to set before you, in as brief a manner as possible, the principles and tenets inculcated in Freemasonry from the early part of the 18th century, and indicate broadly the lines upon which further investigation might be undertaken, with the view of ascertaining, if possible, the effect of these teachings of Freemasonry upon the social conditions then existing. From the 13th century, and probably even earlier, Masons, when congregated together, appear to have met in Lodges - then the workroom attached to the building in progress. At the beginning of the 18th century only a few such groups remained, such as those at Alnwick and Swalwell - then meeting in taverns - whose records survive to show that they existed for the operative purpose of regulating the Masons' trade.

    ScS. SHS.ISl SCOTTISH HISTORY SOCIETY FOURTH SERIES VOLUME 15 Papers on Peter May Land Surveyor PAPERS ON PETER MAY LAND SURVEYOR 1749-1793 edited by Ian H. Adams, ph.d. ★ ★ EDINBURGH printed for the Scottish History Society by T. AND A. CONSTABLE LTD © Scottish History Society 1979 « n V >9^ ^ ISBN 0 906245 05 2 / Printed in Great Britain PREFACE When I started editing the Descriptive List of Plans in the Scottish Record Office in August 1964, it was clear even then that I was privileged to be close to a major historical source. At the time, however, supporting documentary evidence appeared to be sparse indeed. The turning point came with the deposit of the Seafield papers, one of the truly remarkable archives in the Scottish Record Office. The handlisting of this collection was in the hands of Mr Andrew Anderson, then assistant keeper and now curator, and without his kindness in bringing my attention to many of the docu- ments now reproduced in this volume, this work could never have been envisaged. Work on Peter May’s papers was made even more pleasurable by sharing a common interest with Dr Ian Grant, and together we have created indexes which not only have given us both wider access to information, but which we have also been able to share with a growing band of scholars studying eighteenth- century change. Over the years there has not been a single member of the staff of the Scottish Record Office who has not afforded me some assistance; thus I dedicate my thanks to all the staff of the Scottish Record Office, 1964-79.
