Sin . —Among the many authorities that have been quoted upon the antiquity oi Freemasonry , I do not recollect having met with the following two passages ; they are copied from " Stowe ' s Survey of London . " Describing the Bridge Ward , he says : — "On the east side have ye the fair parish church of St . Magnus , in the which church have been buried many men of good worship , whose monuments are now for the most part utterly defaced , 1 find John
Blund , mayor , 1307 . Henry Yeuele , Freemason to Richard II . ancl Henry IV ., who deceased 1400 ; his monument yet reniaineth , & c . & c . " That the above term Freemason " means something beyond mason or builder may be inferred by the second passage , as Stowe speaks then of the Mason ' s Hall , and not as of Freemason ' s Hall , to my mind , showing the two terms to have different significations . " Basing ' s Hall Ward . Monuments on the east side thereof , amongst
divers fair houses for merchants have ye three halls of companiesnamely , the Mason ' s Hall , for the first—but of what antiquity that company is I have not read ; the next is Weaver ' s Hall , " & c . & c . Some of your learned contributors will be enabled perhaps to throw some light on the foregoing . Yours , & c . H . F .

, deliberate examination into the merits of the case . ANGLO-TEJIPI-AUIUS . [ In the present state of affairs we decline the honour ; but when some difficulties shall be cleared away by mutual consent , it will give us much pleasure to offer a dispassionate view of the ease . —En . ^ J

Masonic Club . —Page 08 . . Allow me to suggest that it be a club for the resort of all country Masons visiting London . Instead of visiting various hotels , why not their club ? A CONSTANT READER OF REVIEW .
