The second eventful gathering was on the Sth day of March , 1835 , on the occasion of presenting that excellent Mason , Brother Philip Broadfoot , with some tangible proof of the esteem in which he was held . The particulars of this most interesting meeting have already appeared in the Review ;* our notice is , therefore , merely confined to the fact . At the Grand Festival in 183 S the meeting of the Craft was unusually numerousbeing the occasion of the presentation of the " Offering to
, the Grancl Master , " His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex , of which the particulars were given at the period that interesting event took place . f The fourth eventful gathering has been given at length—to have curtailed its " fair proportions" would have been unjust . It was our intention to have given a biographical sketch of the most prominent circumstances in which Dr . Crucefix has movedbut he has
; intimated his desire that we should not pursue such a course ; we believe his intention is to give his own version of those circumstances , as soon as a matured judgment can venture on the subject with perfect calmness , ancl that the Masonic public shall be properly prepared to receive it . We bow to the difficulty , and therefore briefly give the following chronological data : —
