NOTES . ( a ) Masonic Charity for Orphan Boys . — To the establishment of this Charity , and one of a similar character by some " modern " brethren is traced the present Royal Alasonic Institution for Boys at

Wood Green . At the outset of its career it mustered six pupils ; it now has over 200 , and arrangements are being made for the establishment , in connection with it , of a preparatory school for younger sons of deceased or indigent Craftsmen .

( b ) Duke Frederick of Brunswick , born 1 740 , died 1 S 05 , distinguished himself in the Seven Years' War , and subsequently commanded in Holland . It is not known when he was made a Alason , but in 176 9 he joined a chapter of the Strict Observance . !

He remained National Grand Alaster from 1772 to I 7 yt ) . In 1773 he made an unsuccessful attempt to reconcile the Strict Observance and the Zinnendorf system . He is said to have devoted himself during the closing years of his life to the study of the occult sciences . ;

(< - ) T . Smith Webb , born I 77 i , died 1 S 19 , vvas Grand Grand Alaster of Rhode Island in 1 S 13 , and one of the most prominent of our American biethren . He is best known by his work " The Freemason ' s Alonitor , or illustrations of Alasonry , " which was published in 1 797 , and has gone through many editions , retaining its popularity even to the present day . ' , ¦ ' , ¦

( d ) Connecticut . —There are , according to the latest returns we have seen , some 14 , 600 Alasons in the jurisdiction of this Grand Lodge , which can also boast ot having a Alasonic Charity Foundation Fund , amounting to about 4500 dollars , and a Grand Lodge Fund of over 1000 dollars .

( e ) Louisiana . —There are between 4800 and 4900 Masons in this jurisdiction . The net capital of the Grand Lodge on 1 st January , 1 SS 1 , was upwards of 102 , 900 dollars .

(/) Inigo Jones , who has been designated the " English Palladio , " was born in the neighbourhood of St . Paul ' s , London , his father being a respectable clothworker . By his talent for drawing he attracted the notice of the Earl of Pembroke , who sent him abroad in order

that he might prosecute his studies . About 1 O 04 he vvas invited from Italy to Denmark , where he is said to have been commissioned b y Christian IV . to prepare designs for part of the buildings of the royal chateau at Frederiksborg and the Palace of Rosenberg . To this , no doubt .

he owes his introduction to our . James I ., Christian IV . ' s brother-in-law . On his second return from Italy he set about erecting the Palace of Whitehall , of which the Banqueting Hall alone was completed and still exists . St . Paul ' s , Covent Garden , vvas also his work . He died about i 6 > i .

( g ) Wilhelmsbad . The object of this convention vvas to inquire generally into Freemasonry , and its relation to the Order of Knights Templar . The result was that the Order of the Strict Observance vvas nominally abolished . Prince Ferdinand of Brunswick , born 1721 , died 1792 , who presided on the occasion , vvas a distinguished 1

soldier of hrederick the Great's time , under whom he served through several campaigns . He was initiated in the Lodge of the Three Globes , at Berlin , in 1740 , and received the Alaster ' s Degree , at Breslau , in 1 743 . In 1764 he became Protector of the Lodge St . Charles , in Brunswick , and , in 1770 , P . G . AI . Brunswick , under the Grand Lodge of England . In 1772 , at Kohlo , he vvas declared G . 1

NOT K S—continued . Alaster of the Scottish lodges , and at the Wilhelmsbad Covention , in 17 S 2 , General G . Alaster of the assembled lodges . (//) Mississippi . On 1 st April , 1881 , there were 29 S lodges on the roll of this G . Lodge , while the membership fell somewhat short of 0500 .

(/) Baroness Burdett Coutts , daughter of the late Sir Francis Burdett , some time member of Parliament for the City of Westmister , and cousin of Bro . Sir Francis Burdett , Bart ., Prov . G . Al . Middx . On more than one occasion has this benevolent lady evinced her interest in the proceedings of the Craft generally , and of the lodge which bears

her name in particular . At its consecration she presented it with a copy of the Bible ; and , on the occasion here noted , the Grand Master having granted the necessary dispensation , the Baroness was personally present during the session of the lodge—though it will be understood no Alasonic work was done—and the chairs were formally inaugurated .

( j ) Henry Price , born in England in 16 97 , whence he emigrated to N . America . He was merchant tailor in Boston , and died at Townsend , Alass ., in 1780 . Though the Daniel Coxe deputation , granted by Grand Alaster the Duke of Norfolk , preceded by three years that issued by Grand Master Viscount Alontague to Bro . Henry Price , and

though contemporary journals show that brethren were in the habit of meeting at Philadelphia in 1732 , yet our American brethren owe the first lodge which is known to have been established on their soil to the labours of Bro . Price . The petition forsuch lodge vvas approved at this very meeting , after the Prov . G . Lodge , as stated , had been constituted .

( 7 c ) Mariyand . — There are in this jurisdiction , according to the latest returns we have seen , close on 4800 brethren . The Grand Lodge appears , from the same sources to be in debt to the extent of little short of 300 , 000 dollars .

(/) G . Kloss , born 1788 , died 1854 , vvas initiated into Freemasonry in 1 S 05 , and thenceforward devoted himself heart and soul to Alasonic literature , and especially to that branch of it which comes under the head of Masonic bibliography . He is author of "Die Freimaurerei in ihrre wahren

Bedeutung , 1 S 46 , " "Geschichte der Freimaurerei in England , Irland , and Schottland , 1 S 47 , " and "Geschichte der Freimaurerei in Frankreich , " iS $ 2 ; but his principal work , and that by which he will be bast remembered is , undoubtedly , " Die Bibliographic der Freimaurer , " 1844 , which , as is

stated in Kenning ' s " Cyclopaedia of Freemasonry , " " is a most excellent work alike for research and correctness . " The highest encomiums have been passed upon this most distinguished brother . He vvas repeatedly Chairman or W . Alaster of the lodge " zur Einigkeit , " of

Frankfort-on-Maine . " His lectures , " says Bro . Meisenger , " chiefly historical , were most attractive and enlivening ; his deep reading , sagacious reasoning , and practical good sense preeminently qualified him to manage the administration , and to give laws . " i « same brother describes him as " worthy ot

great praise for the manner in which he reorganised the Eclectic Grand Lodge , ot which he vvas at different times Grand Master and Deputy Grand Master , and this in periods of peculiar difficulty . "

( in ) The Sussex Wing of Roy al Free Hospital , Gray ' s-inn-road , was erected at the cost of the Craft for thepurpose of petpetuating the memory of H-K . ri ; the Duke of Sussex , Grand Master ot ACasons in England 1813-1843 .
