it was very properly objected , by many members of the Grand Lodge , to receive that report , f and thus virtually affirm its correctness , when the error was so palpable and public . The Grand Master , however , pressed the reception of the report with less than the shadow of an argument in
its favour , but with all the purple-badge influence ; and a large majority confirmed as a fact—out of compliment to their chief—what they knew to be a fallacy !
