Masonic Notes.

Masonic Notes .

There is a considerable amount of zeal for innovation in some of the Masonic jurisdictions in the United States . Unfortunately , this zeal is not always tempered by discretion . There is , in consequence , occasionally great difficulty in tracing a similitude between the Freemasonry of to-day as it is professed and praciis d in the aforesaid jurisdictions , and Freemasonry as it was professed and practised by our predecessors—say , in the middle of last century . In this latter-day Masonry we find any amount of talk about ancient landmarks and fundamental principles , but when ive inquire for the landmarks and principles themselves , we are

presented with whole battalions of rules and regulations for the eternal harassment of worthy brethren—rules and regulations thai would have turned grey the periwigs of Daniel Coxe and Hy . Price , and necessitated Anderson , Payne , Desaguliers , Dermott , Northouck , Dunckerley , and the rest of the Masonic luminaries of the eighteenth century being furnished with strait waistcoats .
