Masonic Notes and Queries .
CURIOUS OLD BOOKS . There is a curious and interesting work published at Amsterdam , by Henry VVetstein , in 16 SS , called " Opuscula Mythologica , " & c , and which contains niter alia some very interesting " Pythagorean Fragments , " and a very remarkable essay by Sallust the Philosopher on "The World and the Gods . " He seems to reproduce the teaching of the "Mysteries . " He went to Alexandria from
Athens with Isidorus the Philosopher . There is a curious work entitled " Fragmenta Vetustissimorum Auctorum , " & c , published at Basle in 1530 , and which contains the account of Berosus the Chaldean and Manuctho the Egyptian , and many other curious tracts . As a representation of 16 th century printing it is very striking . The alchemical work alluded to in our last was "Icon Philosophias Occultae , " not " Non Philosophire Occulta ? . " MASONIC STUDENT .
There is also a curious book published , at Lyons , by Horatius Cardon , 1606 , which contains , among other tracts , inscriptions to " Illustrious Artificers , " including painters , architects , sculptors , and plumbers ; but they are comparatively modern , and present little of interest to the pure Masonic student , though they are of abiding value to the general archaeological enquirer . MASONIC STUDENT .
LAURENCE DERMOTT . The Editor of the Freemason asks my opinion as to whether Dermott " had any relations with Ramsay or the French Masons . " Replying first of all to ' the second branch of this
question , it may be stated that the only relations Dermott seems to have had with the French Masons , were occasioned by the grant of a charter from the Ancient Grand Lodge during his Deputy Grand Mastership , to certain brethren at the city of Brest , dated 7 th December , 1773 . * Ramsay
* Bro . J . E . Daruty , in his recently published " Recherches sur le Rite Ecossais , " has cited all the lodges warranted in France by the " Moderns , " but the solitary charter granted by the "Antients" appears to have escaped his observation .
died in 1743 , when Dermott was twenty-three years of age , three years before the latter " passed the chair " of No . 4 6 , Dublin , and four years prior to his leaving Ireland . Dermott was initiated in Dublin in 1740 , during the Grand Mastership of William , third Viscount Mountjoy , afterwards the first Earl of Blesington , to whom he dedicated the first edition of Ahiman Rezon ( i 7 S ( 5 ) , and who
became the third Grand Master of the " Ancients . " The father of this nobleman was also a Freemason , being a member of No . 63 , meeting at the Bear anel Harrow , London , in 1732 . The Earl of Strathniore was Master of the Lodge , and amongst its members at that period , were the Grand Master , the Deputy , and the Grand Wardens of the year , also Dr . Desaguliers and the lion . Colonels Pitt and Diggs .
the fact ot the second Viscount Mountjoy being a member of the Englisli ^ Ctalt in 1732 , goes far to disprove the common belief that in securing for the "Ancients " a Grand Master of noble birth—the newly-created Karl of Blesington , third Viscount Mountjoy—Dermott onl y succeeded because that nobleman was profoundly ignorant of the earlv history of Frcemasonrv in this countrv .
Besides English and his native Irish , Dermott seems to have been conversant with the Jewish tongue . All the books kept by him as Grand Secretary arc plastered twer with Hebrew characters , and the proceedings of the Stewards' Lodge record under date of March 21 st , 1764 : "Heard the petition of G . J . Strange , an Arabian Mason , with whom the Grand Secretary conversed in the Hebrew language . " R . F . GOULD .
LIST OF LODGES , 173 G . In the fourth volume of Bernard Picart ' s " Ceremonies et Coutumes Rcligieuses de tousles Pcuples du Monde , " published at Amsterdam , 173 G , at pages 251-2 is a long foot note giving an account of the " brotherhood established in England under the name of Free Massons , whicl : has attempted to form two or three Colonics in Holland . " The author speaks of the Order having subsisted in
England since 16 91 , and that at the time he wrote ( i 735 ) it had 129 lodges in London and the provinces . The article is accompanied by a large engraving , the background of which is a screen decorated with the arms of Lord Weymouth and a medallion portrait of Sir Richard Steele . The remainder of the screen is covered with five rows of tavern signs , with the names of their localities and the number of the lodge held there—i 2 gin all . In front ol
the screen is an L shaped table , with three large chairs and three candles , and in front stand or sit eleven gentlemen wearing wigs , and six of them three-cornered hats ; all wear large aprons , and mostly carry working tools . Picart gives the name of Pine as that of the author of the list . The numbers and names of the lodges are as follows : — 1 Ludgate Street , A Man Holding a Sword . 2 In Holborn , An Ox .
3 Westminster , A Bugle Horn . 4 Hamstead , A Swan . 5 Behind the R . Exchange , A Ship . 6 New Bond Street , " Mr . Braund . " 7 Queen ' s , St . Cheapside , A Cup . 8 Devil , Temple Bar , " Usion Lodge . " 9 Noble Street , A Barrel . 10 New Bond Street , Royal Arms .

THE KEYSTONE . Philadel phia . Our excellent contemporary the "Masonic Eclectic " says in its June number , "Our good Bro . MacCalla has passed another milestone with his invaluable Ke / Cstone and turns in on his fourteenth volume with a freshness and vigour that betoken a continued usefulness of himself and the Keystone . Bro . M . stands deservedly in the front rank
of Masonic journalists , and is , with every issue of his paper , making himself a leader in Masonic thought . His past labours entitle him to good wages and the confidence of his fellows for the future , which we hope he will receive . " We fully assent to all that our American confrere so truly and pithily has said , and wish our esteemed friend all good health and success in his thoroughly Masonic labours . He deserves well of the Craft .
THE MASONIC ECLECTIC . Bro . G . H . RAMEY , Editor and Publisher . Washington , U . S . An admirable Masonic serial , well edited , well printed , and well worth reading .
FRANZOSISCHES ETYMOLOGISCHES LESEBUCH . By Dr . T . VOELHEL . Hanover . This is the first part of a German work on French Etymology . Like all that is German , it seems to us careful and critical , precise and painstaking , and will , no doubt , be of much use to adult and advanced students of the French language .

BRO . VVILLIAM GRIST . On Monday last our much-respected Bro . Grist departed this life . In the north-east part of London he was well known as a caterer at public dinners , & c , & c . As a Mason he was an earnest worker both in Craft and Royal Arch . He was one of the first members of the Marquis of
Ripon Lodge , and served all the minor offices . At the time of his death he was S . W . of the Unity Lodge , 16 37 , and would have been now W . M . but for his ill-health at the last election . He was known by many , and respected by all with whom he came in contact , and will be missed by all Masons in the north-cast portion of the metropolis .
Consecration Of The Hova Villa Chapter.
CONSECRATION OF THE HOVA VILLA CHAPTER .
A week of hard Masonicwork in Brighton , though enjoyable withal , terminated on Saturday last with the consecrabon of a Royal Arch Chapter . The occurrence of such an event in the provinces is so rare , that it is of itself an attraction sufficient to elraw Royal Arch Masons from all quarters .
But this occasion presented features of more than usual interest . The beautiful ceremony of consecration was to be worked by three officiating Principals , whose reputati be was widely established . The acting M . E . Z . was the Graon Scribe E ., Lieut .-Col . Shadwell II . Clerke , whose interpretation of every ceremony has been invariably rendered with such accuracy , taste , and earnestness , so as to have
placed him in the forefront of the leading Masonic ritualists . The H . was Comp . J . IT . Scott , who is held most deservedly high in the esteem of the companions of his province , any who so recently received the reward of many years of hard work and devotion to Masonry by being honoured by Grand Lodge and Grand Chapter appointment . The J . was Comp . the Rev . R . J . Simpson , a Past Grand Chaplain .
from whom an eloquent oration was naturally expected , and from whom a most beautiful one proved to be forthcoming ; while the D . of C . was Comp . V . P . Freeman , an earnest and zealous Royal Arch Mason , who has firmly established himself in the fraternal affection of his companions . Beyond this , however , there was a circumstance , which , to the Province of Sussex , was naturally
an irresistible attraction—a further opportunity of paying a tribute of respect and honour to their Chief forbade those to be absent who could by any means attend to witness the installation of the Right Worshipful Provincial Grand Master of Sussex , as the first Principal of a new Chapter ; and finally there had gone abroad a rumour that no effort had been spared to make the new chapter a worthy addition iu tne
, IIUL uuiy enc Luapiers or province , DUC to cnose of England . No fewer than twenty-five Principals were in ' attendance to receive the Consecrating and other Grand Officers upon their entry into the chapter , while during the subsequent proceedings there were some sixty companions present . The impressive ceremonies of consecration , and installation of Principals were never more admirably carried out
than by the Grand | Scnbe E ., while the oration of Comp . Simpson approached perfection , rivetting the attention and fairly charming thsse who had the pleasure of being present . Here let it be remarked that it is more than possible that this intellectual treat may be offered more generally to companions at large . Nor had the reputation of the Chapter-house been exaggerated . It would
be difficult to concive fittings more complete in the way of Masonic furniture , and tributes of praise fell from all sides on Comp . H . Lamb , of St . John ' s Square , Clerkenwell , who had spared no pains in carrying out the wish of the founders of the chapter , that its beauty should be beyond question . The Principals installed were E . Comp . Sir Walter Wyndham Burrell , Bart ., M . P ., R . W . P . G . M . of Sussex ,
as M . L . Z . ; h . Comp . Charles John Smith , Prov . J . G . W . Sussex , and P . Z . of Si 1 , as H . ; and Comp . Capt . James Campbell HerbertStratford , as J . ; the officers subsequently invested being Comps . H . A . Dowel ! , as E . ; Capt . F . II . Ruth , as N . ; Capt . C . P . Henty , Treasurer ; Capt . S . B . McWhinnis , P . S . ; the Rev . E . Richards-Adams , Assistant S . ; and T . Hughes , Janitor . After the ceremonies , which were performed at the Old
Ship Hotel , Brighton , upwards of forty of the companions aeljourned to the Royal Pavilion , where , in the charming banqueting-room , which has scarcely its equal in the king , dom , Comps . Saycs and Marks served a more than excellent banquet , at which the time-honoured loyal and Masonic toasts received due justice . This new chapter has been named the Hova Villa Chapter , and is attached to the flourishing Hova Ecclese Lodge .

A week of hard Masonicwork in Brighton , though enjoyable withal , terminated on Saturday last with the consecrabon of a Royal Arch Chapter . The occurrence of such an event in the provinces is so rare , that it is of itself an attraction sufficient to elraw Royal Arch Masons from all quarters .
But this occasion presented features of more than usual interest . The beautiful ceremony of consecration was to be worked by three officiating Principals , whose reputati be was widely established . The acting M . E . Z . was the Graon Scribe E ., Lieut .-Col . Shadwell II . Clerke , whose interpretation of every ceremony has been invariably rendered with such accuracy , taste , and earnestness , so as to have
placed him in the forefront of the leading Masonic ritualists . The H . was Comp . J . IT . Scott , who is held most deservedly high in the esteem of the companions of his province , any who so recently received the reward of many years of hard work and devotion to Masonry by being honoured by Grand Lodge and Grand Chapter appointment . The J . was Comp . the Rev . R . J . Simpson , a Past Grand Chaplain .
from whom an eloquent oration was naturally expected , and from whom a most beautiful one proved to be forthcoming ; while the D . of C . was Comp . V . P . Freeman , an earnest and zealous Royal Arch Mason , who has firmly established himself in the fraternal affection of his companions . Beyond this , however , there was a circumstance , which , to the Province of Sussex , was naturally
an irresistible attraction—a further opportunity of paying a tribute of respect and honour to their Chief forbade those to be absent who could by any means attend to witness the installation of the Right Worshipful Provincial Grand Master of Sussex , as the first Principal of a new Chapter ; and finally there had gone abroad a rumour that no effort had been spared to make the new chapter a worthy addition iu tne
, IIUL uuiy enc Luapiers or province , DUC to cnose of England . No fewer than twenty-five Principals were in ' attendance to receive the Consecrating and other Grand Officers upon their entry into the chapter , while during the subsequent proceedings there were some sixty companions present . The impressive ceremonies of consecration , and installation of Principals were never more admirably carried out
than by the Grand | Scnbe E ., while the oration of Comp . Simpson approached perfection , rivetting the attention and fairly charming thsse who had the pleasure of being present . Here let it be remarked that it is more than possible that this intellectual treat may be offered more generally to companions at large . Nor had the reputation of the Chapter-house been exaggerated . It would
be difficult to concive fittings more complete in the way of Masonic furniture , and tributes of praise fell from all sides on Comp . H . Lamb , of St . John ' s Square , Clerkenwell , who had spared no pains in carrying out the wish of the founders of the chapter , that its beauty should be beyond question . The Principals installed were E . Comp . Sir Walter Wyndham Burrell , Bart ., M . P ., R . W . P . G . M . of Sussex ,
as M . L . Z . ; h . Comp . Charles John Smith , Prov . J . G . W . Sussex , and P . Z . of Si 1 , as H . ; and Comp . Capt . James Campbell HerbertStratford , as J . ; the officers subsequently invested being Comps . H . A . Dowel ! , as E . ; Capt . F . II . Ruth , as N . ; Capt . C . P . Henty , Treasurer ; Capt . S . B . McWhinnis , P . S . ; the Rev . E . Richards-Adams , Assistant S . ; and T . Hughes , Janitor . After the ceremonies , which were performed at the Old
Ship Hotel , Brighton , upwards of forty of the companions aeljourned to the Royal Pavilion , where , in the charming banqueting-room , which has scarcely its equal in the king , dom , Comps . Saycs and Marks served a more than excellent banquet , at which the time-honoured loyal and Masonic toasts received due justice . This new chapter has been named the Hova Villa Chapter , and is attached to the flourishing Hova Ecclese Lodge .
