Ancient Masons' Marks.
me by a good friend and excellent Mason , whose eye may yet perhaps see these pages . On the whole , then , it appears that , although a Lodge did exist , still it was not connected with the Order of St . John of Jerusalem . We may be biassed in this , as we believe that this was the opinion embodied in a report to the G . L . of England by an eminent Masonthe late
, W . Rodwell Wright , whose portrait still adorns the hall of St . John and St . Paul's Lodge , Valetta . There his memory is affectionately cherished , and his exertions in the cause of Masonry known and appreciated .
" But doubly blest is he whose heart expands , With hallowed feelings for those classic lands ; "Who rends the veil of ages long gone by , And views their remnants with a poet ' s eye . Wright ! 'twas thy happy lot at once to view Those shores of glory , and to sing them too . And sure no common muse inspired thy pen To hail the land of God and god-like men . "
