REVIEW .
ORIGIN OF THE ENGLISH RITE OF FREEMASONRY . By Bro . W . J . HUGHAN . London : ' George Kenning , 16 , Great Queen-street . —THIRD NOTICE . Bro . Hughan has thrown great light on the hitherto somewhat obscure history of the English Royal Arch . He seems still to hesitate somewhat as to its English or Foreign origin . We think , however , Bro . Hughan need not do so any longer since the very facts he adduces and the evidences he
marshals seem to point indubitably to an English origin of the Grade , paradox as it may seem to some at first sight to assume or uphold ! But our reasons are as follows : We were at one time inclined to lean to the idea that Royal Arch came from " Arche Royale , " and it may do so , though the evidence would now seem to prove rather that the words were mostl y of English use . Bros . Gould and Hughan trace the Royal Arch to Dublin in 1744 and
1746 . Ramsay s alleged connection with Irish Freemasonry seems now to be as mythical as his alleged propositions to the Grand Lodge of England . He is said only to have been in England in 1730 , and if he received the honorary degree of D . of C . Law , when at Oxford , as is asserted by several writers , which fact a " Worthy Brother at Oxford " might perhaps find out for us , it would be probably in that year . But was he in
England then : His position as Preceptor to the Pretender ' s Children at Rome in 1720 , and afterwards to "Prince Turenne , " as Ragon says , would make him a " persona ingrata" here . His famous so-called " Rite de Bouillon" ( if he formed it ) is said by different writers to have consisted of three , or four , or seven Grades . The most commonly mentioned are " Maitre Ecossais , Novice , Templier , Royal Arch . " an
odd sequence and form terminologically , —this is said to be in 172 S . His famous address " Discours d ' un Grand Maitre " seems to have been delivered in 1736 , and he died in 1743 . His influence and interference , then , must have been " nil " on contemporary Freemasonry . Other hands and ' ather men developed his " germ " and enlarged his " ideas , " and to " Von Hundt " a good deal may be fairly attributed about 1756-7 .
In some foreign writers the words "Arche Royale , " in relation to Rainsay's-system , and the " Arche d'Henoch , " & c , are found ; but , curiously enough , Ragon uses " Royal Arch " uniformly as forming a Grade in the " Heredom of Prefection , " the " Rit Ecossais , " and the " Rit Primitif of Narbonne . " But these are all after 1 750 in their developement and sequence . Schletter and Zille always use the words " Royal Arch . " Dermott ' s
statements that he received the Royal Arch in Dublin , 1646 , Lodge 26 , if we understand him rightly , may be open to question , unless it be the result of the movement mentioned by Fifield Dassigny in 1774 as coming from York . We cannot trust Dermott in any statements which affect the two rivai bodies , as he always seeks to depress the one and exalt the other . He no doubt , to cite a common expression , "made a great card" of the Royal Arch , but where did he get his form from ? We are inclined to think
curiously enough we repeat , from a modern use of it , and a modem chapter . Let us try and realize the following facts . The word chapter is in use by the " Moderns" before the "Ancients . " —N . B . ! Later on , the Irish Grand Lodge seems to have repudiated the source from which Dermott says he obtained the Royal Arch in Dublin , in 1746 , and there is no available evidence at present of its being practised in Dublin , say from 1746 to 1760 . If a lodge granted it in 1646 , it would go on naturally doing the same . Perhaps Bro . Neilson can enlighten us a little more on this point . The chapter
Review.
of 1765 , chartered by Lord Blayney in 1765 , is clearly then an old chapter from the number of its members , and we may fairly throw it back , as it seems to us , to about 1 745 . The earliest trace of the Antient Royal Arch is 1752 , and it was not fully working seemingly until 1757 . It would appear that the chapter meeting at Gerard-street , Soho , in 1765 had no warrant , and would appear to have been a self-created , self-existing body until recognised by Lord Blayney officially . It is possible that other minute
books exist ; but we can understand why " chapters" would be very few and far between . It will be a most remarkable and amusing proof of Masonic carelessness in things historical and archa : o-Iogical , if we have to come to the conclusion to which Bro . Hughan points , —that the " modern use " of the Royal Arch preceded the " antient . " Bro . Hughan , if that point is eventually conceded , may well claim great credit for his careful treatment of the evidences . The objections to a foreign origin are many .
The Grade is essentially English in tone , theory , and outcome . It is not in use abroad , and we believe it never was . The " Ninth Arch of Solomon , or Royal Arch , " founded on the apocryphal Book of Enoch and the Chevalier d' Orient , or Knight of the Sword and the East both bear on the traditional history of the Royal Arch Grade , but not completely , or thoroughly , only relatively . The English Royal Arch is of itself
and by itself , and differs materially from the Irish Grade . Oliver ' s statement that it had to do with the Red Cross of Bab ylon is both absurd and utterly misleading . We , therefore , must give up its foreign origin , and to it we have ourselves always consistently objected , and now we also give up the foreign origin of the name . Dr . Oliver ' s statement that Dunkerley's Royal Arch was Christian is not borne out by the copy we saw . We will not say , on
a cursory inspection , that no such allusion as the Cubical or CornerStone occurs , but we do not remember it . The MS . said to have been used by him was inchoate , and less full than the one in present use . On the whole we come to the conclusion that the Royal Arch is of the Moderns , not the Antients after all , and , as we view it , such an outcome of research is not at all unreasonable or unnatural . But as Dermott made it his great standard of difference and
distinction between the two bodies in its fuller and probably more . xsthetical developement , the Moderns most unwisely maintained a childish " Doctrine of Reserve" about it , until the force of events compelled Lord Blayney , Grand Master in 1765 , formally to acknowledge its reality and existence . We have said enough to-day to make students think , and point out the very interesting nature of Bro . Hughan ' s studies and conclusions .
