NOTlvS . ( a ) Grand Lodge " Ancients . "The date usually assigned to the outbreak of that schism , which , for some three quarters of a century kept English Freemasonry divided into rival camps , is 173 S ; but it was not till the year 1753 , that the

seceders followed the example of the socalled " Modern " Masons , and established a Grand LcG ^ e of their own with a Bro . Turner as Grand Master . For a few years previous they wi ^ re governed by a Grand Committee . The moving spirit of the secessionists was Bro . Lawrence Dermott , author

of " Ahiman Rezon , " who was Grand Secretary , and subsequently Deputy Grand Master . The terms "Ancients" and ' •' Moderns , " were applied to the two English Grand Lodges , the " Moderns" being the

elder of the two , and the "Ancients" the younger . The terms " Regular" as applied to the former , and "Athole" to thc latter , are less confusing . The schism was healed in 1 S 13 by the Union of the two Grand Lodges .

( b ) Bro . F . L . Schroder , one of the ablest of German Masons , was born in 1744 , in Schwerin , where his mother superintended a school of embroidery . His father died when he was but two years of age , and in 1749 his mother was married a second time to an actor named Ackermann . When he

grew up he adopted the theatrical profession , and in time became manager of the theatre , Hamburg . He was introduced into Freemasonry by his friend Bode in 1774 , and was initiated in the Lodge " Emanuel zur Maienblume , " without having the question of his admission put to the vote . He shortly after

established a lodge " Elisa zum warmen Herzen , " of which he quickly became Master , but it did not remain long in existence . Subsequently , and for several years , he was Master of his Mother Lodge , 17 S 7-99 . During the beginning of this period , he was entrusted with the revision of the laws of the

Provincial Grand Lodge of Hamburg , and in 17 SS , completed his task in a manner which gave the utmost satisfaction , Findel remarking in praise of this work , "That he was the first of the Fraternity who in Germany went back to the primitive laws ( the old charges ) , in all their completeness and

without reservation . " From 1799 to 1 S 11 , he was Deputy Provincial Grand Master , during the Provincial Grand Mastership of Bro . Beckmann . On Hamburg declaring itself in the latter year an independent Grand Lodge , Bro . Beckmann became Grand

Master , and Bro . Schroder Deputy Grand Master , and on the demise of the former , Bro . Schroder became Grand Master , and so remained until his death . His otherservices to the Craft in Hamburg were numerous , and won him the love and respect of the brethren .

( 1 ?) Grand Lodge of New York . — According to Bro . F . Gust . Fincke , as noted in "Findel's History , " this supposed constitution is not a genuine one . John , third Duke of Athole , who is said to have granted the patent , was not Grand Alaster at the time , having died in 1774 , nor does the

document contain the signature of the Grand Master , but only that of the Grand Secretary . Further , there is no mention of the bestowal of this constitution in the minutes of the Grand Lodge of the Ancients . The "History of Freemasonry in New York , "

published within the last few years from the records of the Grand Lodge of that State , looks upon it with favour . Moreover , the year in which it was granted , was the seventh year of the Grand Mastership of the fourth Duke of Athole , who was Grand Master

N O T E S—continued . 1774-S 1 , and again 1791-1813 ; and as the warrants were printed documents , one containing the description of his predecessor may well have been used by mistake . At all events , nine lodges met the year following under its supposed authority , and in due time

established , Iirst a Provincial Grand Lodge , afterwards , owing to the War of Independence converted into an independent Grand Lodge . According to the address delivered by Grand Master Anthony , in June 1 SS 1 , there were at that date , in the jurisdiction ofthe Grand Lodgeof New York , 501110715 lodges , with 73 , 000 subscribing members .

( d ) C . J . Wollner , born 1732 , was initiated in 17 S 2 , in the Rosicrucian Order , under the name of Ormesus Magnus , and assumed that of "Eques a Cubo" in the Strict Observance . In 17 S 6 , the King of

Prussia , William III ., conferred on him the situation of Privy Councillor of Finance , and also ennobled him . Two years later he became Minister of State for Ecclesiastical Affairs . On the King's death , Wollner was dismissed , and retired to his estate .

(<>) Grand Lodge of Saxony has some eighteen lodges , and about 2900 subscribing members . In 1 S 05 , at the invitation of Bro . Von Brand , a convention of the lodges was held , and an agreement come to to form the ground work of this union , but it was not till 1 S 11 that at a meeting at Dresden , at which twelve lodges were

represented , the object was accomplished , Bro . Von Rackwitz being chosen the first Grand Master , and the final treaty adopted on the 27 th September of the same year . Gradually , nearly all the Saxon Lodges joined the union , though those in the territories subsequently allotted to Prussia in due time separated , and joined one of the Prussian Grand Lodges .

(/) Bro . JohnF . Zollner , born 1753 , was a Dr . Theol , and first Councillor of the Consistory and the College of Berlin . He was Grand Master of the Grand National Lodge of the Three Globes , Berlin , from 1 799 , till his death .

( g ) Lodge of the Three Globes was raised to a Grand Lodge in 1744 , and is the most numerous of the three Berlin Grand Lodges , having according to Kenning's "Cyclopaedia , " 112 Johannite , and 61 Scottish Lodges with over 12 , 000 members .

( h ) Grand Orient of France . —The result ot this step has been that the Grand Lodges of England , Ireland , and Scotland , and other Anglo-Saxon Grand Lodges no longer consider the Grand Orient as a Masonic body .

( j ) African Lodge—From this there have sprung up in most of the States in the Union , North America , what are known as "Coloured Grand Lodges , " but the prejudices of the Americans against the negroes are so strong , that they are looked upon as clandestine Grand Lodges , and intercourse with them is strictly forbidden .

(/) The Order of the Mopses . — Much obscurity exists as to the character of this Order , some holding with Thory , that it was founded for Roman Catholics ; while others think it was a German Student Order

which ivas forbidden at Gottingen in 1748 . According to the former idea , it was the result of the issue of the famous Bull of Pope Clement , and women were admitted as members . Some think " Mopse " means the wife of a Freemason , and is of French origin .
