THE HIGH DEGREES . To the Editor of the Freemason . Dear Sir and Brother , — In the Book of Constitutions I find the following preamble to the Regulations for the government of the Craft at page 16 : — " By the solemn Act of Union between the
two Grand Lodges of Freemasons of England , in December , 1813 , it was declared that pure ancient Freemasonry consists of three degrees and no more , viz .: those of the Entered Apprentice , the Fellow Craft , and the Master Mason , including the Supreme Order of the Holy Royal
Arch . " The Constitutions further recite , in three different places , that no jewel , medal , or device , belonging to any order or degree not recognised by the Grand Lodge of England as part of pure Ancient Masonry , may be worn either in Grand
Lodge or in any private lodge . And I believe I am correct in saying , that not very long ago a Provincial Grand Master was deprived of his command for an infringement of this law . It is not probably known to very many that the second paragraph of the Act of Union above
quoted runs as follows : — " It is declared and pronounced , that pure Antient Masonry consists of three degrees and no more , viz .: those of the Entered Apprentice , the Fellow Craft , and the Master Mason , including the Supreme Order of the Holy Royal Arch .
But this Article is not intended to prevent any lodge or chapter from holding a meeting in any of the degrees of the Orders of Chivalry , according to the Constitutions of the said Orders . " I would like to ask , through the medium of your valuable journal , how in the history of
modern Freemasonry the latter portion of this article was omitted , and how the present ruling crept in ; and why the Grand Lodge of England should not recognise such branches of Freemasonry as ,- for instance , the Ancient and Accepted
Rite , and the Order of the Temple , which not only acknowledge its position and authority , but decline to receive any brethren who do not possess certain qualifications as Blue Masons . I am , yours fraternally , BUSY BEE .
