Review Of G. M. Gardner's Address On Henry Price.
from 1733 to December 1751 ; to each member ' s initiation , is annexed a date . I have no doubt that he compiled the said list from inquiry ofthe then acting members , in order to incorporate the said list into a record which he was
contemplating to get up for the Lodge , similar to the Record which he made for the Grand Lodge . I have no doubt that some of the dates are incorrect , but nevertheless , it is the onl y indication I
can judge by . Now , according to that list , it appears , that no initiation took place between September 12 th and November 9 th , 1733 , and as the Lodge met twice a month , and as it then
conferred but two degrees , and as the conferring of those degrees did not take up half the time to what they do now , I can therefore see no reason why the Lodge should have held special meetings
for the adoption of the said bye-laws . Hence we may conclude , that . previous to 17 . 53 , the Lodge kept no record that the bye-laws , were not adopted until October and November 17 , 53 ,
md that Bro . Moore altered the date from 17 53 to 1733 . It is further my opinion , that Bro . Moore is still in possession of the said Record book , and it is in his power to prove , or disprove , my
theory . In conclusion , I must point out that if the best Masonic scholar and most patient and indefatigable searcher of the Grand Lodge of
Massachusetts , after two years diligent inquiry and investigation , could not meet the question fairly and squarely , but had to resort to the lawyer ' s inuendoes of exaggerating this , of ignoring that ,
of proving what no one wanted proved , and of bringing forward a witness whose veracity he himself doubted . However much we may admire his pluck in undertaking to lead the forlorn hope ,
however much we may feel amused at the ingenious method with which he handled the question , yet , it cannot be denied , that in the hundred aud four pages of his pamphlet . Bro .
Gardner has not attempted to disprove a solitary fact which I made known over two years ago , nor has he added a solitary fact relevant to the question at issue . Now if Bro . Gardner failed
in establishing the claims of Henry Price , I think that it is hi gh time that Henry Price should be given up as a hopeless case . Henry Price was
neither appointed G . M . in England , nor Major in Boston , but was a mere pretender to both of these titles .

Freemasonry In Greece.
FREEMASONRY IN GREECE .
The social benefits of Freemasonry are so widely acknowledged , that we must all congratulate the Greeks on the recent auspicious consummation of their wishes , in the final and complete
establishment of a Grand Lodge and Supreme Grand Council , 33 ° , And the unanimous election of a British naturalized subject as first Grand Master .
It is known that in the year 1867 the first step was taken towards the formation of the Grand Lodge in qestion , but owing to various causes its establishment , down to the present time , had
remained imperfect , and it continued to be presided over by a Deputy Grand Master . On the 18 th October , 186 9 , ( see Freemason Oct . , 30 th 1869 ) was regularly intitiated into
the mysteries of the Craft , in Lodge St Andrew , No . 48 , H . I . H . The Prince Rhodocanakis , now first Grand Master of Greece , and who , by his zeal in the cause of Freemasonry , no Jess than
by the evidence of his claims , supported as they are by some of the most distinguished Greeks at Athens , ampl y merits our warm congratulations , and the hope that the success of an enterprise
fraught with so much prospective good , in the cause of charity and good order , to the Hellenes may not fail to receive the warm recognition of the three Grand Lodges of these kingdoms .
We have also to congratulate the Greeks on the wisdom of their choice , in electing to the head of their Masonic body , one whose liberality and dignity of sentiment are well known in this
country , and whose social eminence they uphold by their suffrages , while on the other hand , he has claims to such considerations which are known to none better than the Greeks themselves ,
who thus endorse them . It appears that the following lodges are on the the roll of the Grand Lodge of Greece , namely ; 1 . Children of Leonidas , at Syra ;
2 . Panelhnion , at Athens ; 3 . Possidonia , at Pirreus j 4 . Skoufas , at Chalcis ; 5 . Corcyra , at Corfu :
6 . Archimedes , at Patrasj 7 . Rhigas the Phereian , at Lamia ; 8 . Progress , at Argos . From these the Grand Office-bearers have
been elected ( July 22 nd , 1872 ) for the period 1872-5 ; and the festival of the Order will henceforth be held on the anniversary of the election of H . I . H . the Prince Rhodocanakis , as First
Grand Master . According to the official list , the rolls of the Grand Lodge , and Supreme Grand Council 33 ° , of Greece are as follows : —
Grand Master , H . I . H . the Prince Demetrius Rhodocanakis , G . C . G ., & c * Dep . G . Master , Professor N . Damaskinos . * Subst . G . M ., Dem . Stef . Mavrokordatos . *
