N O T K S -continued . ( g ) York . This fine old northern city , the metropolis of northern Kngland , is so intimately associated with the traditions and history of our Craft as to have become a household word . The earliest minutes of thc old York Lodge date back to the year 1703 , at which time , and for twenty years

afterwards , ils chief was distinguished by thc title of . Master or President . In 1725 ft assumed the title of "Grand Lodge of AI . i . F ' ngland , " presumably in contradistinction lo the Grand Lodge in London , which styled itself the" Grand Lodge of F . ngl . ind . " Between thc years 1734 am ! 17 G 1 it lay dormant , but in the latter il resumed work as notetl in the " Calendar . "

(/;) C . G . Baron von Hund was born in 1722 , died 1770 . The year following his initiation lie is .-aid to have received lhc High Grades in Paris . About 1749 he founded the Lodge of thc " Drei Saulen " at Kitllitz , and laid Ihe foundation of a Protestant church with Alasonie ceremonial . About

17 . 54 he again visited Paris , when he became mixed up with Bonneville ' s Chapter of Clermont , which had incorporated the Templar grade and the pseudo-tradition of the Scottish continuation . On this , according to T'hory , hi : built up his system of the Strict

Observance . I hough originally a Protestant , he died a Roman Catholic , and was buried in front of the high altar of the Romish church of Alelrichstadt . For further information sec Kenning ' s " Cyclop . reli . i of Freemasonry . "

(/) Cagliostro , Count dc , a gross impostor , whose proper name was Joseph Balsamo , is believed to have been horn of honest parents , at Palermo , in 1743 , anil died in piison nt Rome , 1 793 . He mure than once visited F ' . ngland , wheie , it is alleged , he had some connectijii with the

Craft , but it was not long- before the real character of the man was discovered . He was the founder of an Fgyptian system of Freemasonry , and also of an Androgyne Masonry . He was mixed up ( villi several disreputable frauds , notably that of the "Diamond Necklace , " and died , as slated ,

in a prison of the Inquisition , at Rome . (/•) Lord Lovcl . It was during the Grand Mastership of this nobleman that Freemasonry had the honour of receiving into ils fold Francis of Lorraine , afterwards Kinprror of Germany , and husband of thc

lib strums Fnipress-Ouecn Alalia- ' ! hcrc-a . The Duke was initialed , 1731 , at an occasional lodge held at the Hague , under a deputation from thc Grand Lodge of F ' ngland . He subsequently received the Third Degree at a similar lodge held at Houghton Hall , Norfolk , the seat of Sir Robert Walpole .

(/) Emanuel Swedenborg , horn 111 I ' psala , I'iSS , was an eminent scholar anil metallurgist , and from 1710 Swedish assessor tu the Royal Alining College . In 1743 he asserted that he had had a vision from on high , telling him to instruct mankind in the

line worship of God . In 17 ^ 7 he gave up his profession , and thenceforward devoted himself to perfecting and promoting his religious system . lie was not a Freemason , though a quasi-Masonic rite has been named after him .

( m ) Llaron Biclfield , or Von Biclefield , bom 1717 , died 1770 . In 1740 , being at tlie time in the Prussian diplomatic service , he helped to found the Lodge of lhc " Three Globes , " at Berlin , under lhc

King s patronage , which afterwards became "The Grand . Mother Lodge of the Three Globes . '' ile was ennobled in 174 S , and became Prussian Alinister at the Hague . He was Grand Alaster of Ihe said Grand Lodge , 17 . 5-1-57-

N O T K S -continued . ( g ) York . This fine old northern city , the metropolis of northern Kngland , is so intimately associated with the traditions and history of our Craft as to have become a household word . The earliest minutes of thc old York Lodge date back to the year 1703 , at which time , and for twenty years

afterwards , ils chief was distinguished by thc title of . Master or President . In 1725 ft assumed the title of "Grand Lodge of AI . i . F ' ngland , " presumably in contradistinction lo the Grand Lodge in London , which styled itself the" Grand Lodge of F . ngl . ind . " Between thc years 1734 am ! 17 G 1 it lay dormant , but in the latter il resumed work as notetl in the " Calendar . "

(/;) C . G . Baron von Hund was born in 1722 , died 1770 . The year following his initiation lie is .-aid to have received lhc High Grades in Paris . About 1749 he founded the Lodge of thc " Drei Saulen " at Kitllitz , and laid Ihe foundation of a Protestant church with Alasonie ceremonial . About

17 . 54 he again visited Paris , when he became mixed up with Bonneville ' s Chapter of Clermont , which had incorporated the Templar grade and the pseudo-tradition of the Scottish continuation . On this , according to T'hory , hi : built up his system of the Strict

Observance . I hough originally a Protestant , he died a Roman Catholic , and was buried in front of the high altar of the Romish church of Alelrichstadt . For further information sec Kenning ' s " Cyclop . reli . i of Freemasonry . "

Craft , but it was not long- before the real character of the man was discovered . He was the founder of an Fgyptian system of Freemasonry , and also of an Androgyne Masonry . He was mixed up ( villi several disreputable frauds , notably that of the "Diamond Necklace , " and died , as slated ,

in a prison of the Inquisition , at Rome . (/•) Lord Lovcl . It was during the Grand Mastership of this nobleman that Freemasonry had the honour of receiving into ils fold Francis of Lorraine , afterwards Kinprror of Germany , and husband of thc

line worship of God . In 17 ^ 7 he gave up his profession , and thenceforward devoted himself to perfecting and promoting his religious system . lie was not a Freemason , though a quasi-Masonic rite has been named after him .
