mysterious tragical event that occurred at thc building of Solomon ' s Temple ? MASONS NOT ARCHITECTS . —That the . Masonic Fraternity in Scotland were in the habit of admitting members who were not professional architects , so far back as the year 1600 at least , is proved by a reference to irrefragable evidence in the following passage from the Edinburgh
Encyclopaedia , article , Ashmole : — "In the year 1646 Mr . Ashmole along with Colonel Maimvaring , was admitted into the Society of Freemasons ; which Dr . Robinson ( Proofs of a Conspiracy , p . 21 ) , maintains is the first distinct and unequivocal instance of a person being admitted into the Fraternity who was not an architect by profession . This however , is not the case ; Jor it appears by the minutes of Mary ' s Chapel , Edinburgh . which we nave consultedthat Thomas Boswell
, , , Esq . of Auchinleck , was made a Warden of that Lodge in the year 1600 , and that the Hon . Robert Moray , Quarter-master-general to the army in Scotland , was created a Master Mason in 1641 . " A French poem on Masonry , published at Paris in 1823 , has the following passage in a note , quoted by Dr . Oliver Jn Preston ' s Illustrations , edit . 1829 . — " Jacques , Lord Stewart recut dans sa loge a Kilwin en Ecosse , eh 1286 , les Comtes de Glocester et Ulster , l ' uri Anglois , l ' autre Irlandois . "
ILLUSTRIOUS MASONS . —Bruce , the celebrated Abyssinia :, traveller , and Sir Ralph Abercromby , the hero of Egypt , were both Freemasons , and initiated in the Lodge Canongate , Kilwinning , Edinburgh . ANCIENT PRECEPTORY OF THE TEMPLE ON THE SOUTH ESK . —The account of the Temple-houses in Scotland , given in a former number of the Freemasons' Quarterly , specifies as two different places , Blentodoch and Temple on the South Esk ; and in this it only follows the list
appended to Keith ' s Catalogue of Scottish Bishops . Chalmers , however , in his Caledonia , combats this separation , and adduces a mass of evidence to prove that these were one and the same place , bearing the same names however at different times .
Das Vheme Gericht.
DAS VHEME GERICHT .
FEW phenomena , either moral or political , have excited more the attention of the philosopher than the Secret Tribunal of Germany , better known by its proper appellation of Das Vheme Gericht . At this remote period of time , it is impossible clearly to decide whether its origin was of a Masonic character or otherwise ; and it is certain that many of the ceremonies and rites by which its proceedings were characterised , approached to the ritual of the Ancient Free and Accepted Order , but as that resemblance fails to identify itself with the landmarks of
Freemasonry , the truth must -till remain a matter of speculation . It is far from being our object in this sketch to justify all the proceedings of the free-judges : like all human authorities they were subject to the influence of passions , prejudices , and feelings , which are inseparable from our nature . Our object is merely to show its mysterious power , the perfect despotism which it exercised over the actions , its members compelling the father to denounce the son—the brother to take the brother ' s life—if sentence were once passed by the banded judges . In forming our opinion of the Institution , much should be allowed
