that one lodge only for the city of Edinburgh was neither just nor desirable . During the formation of the Grand Lodge of Scotland , which was in all probability a result of the visit of Dr . Desaguliers to that country , many
very curious incidents are referred to by the historian , and as the time arrived when even the Grand Lodge itself was put on its trial , and a dissolution of that body was threatened , our readers will see that Bro . Lyon has no lack of
stirring events to chronicle . We must not omit to mention that capital biographical sketches of distinguished Freemasons are interspersed throughout the work , and are a most attractive addition to its contents , neither must we neglect
to notice the excellent index which accompanies the volume , and increases its usefulness as a work of reference . Contrary to the desire of the author , but certainly in accordance with the wishes of the subscribers , a really good portrait

lengthy review of the history m question , to which we beg to refer our readers , and which we are likely to reprint .
We cannot conclude better than by recommending every Master of a lodge to introduce this grand work to his brethren , aud every brother should seek to promote its sale .

ST . J OHN S GATE . —The following letter appears in the Clerkenwell News : —Sir , " A rumour is being extensively circulated that this house is to be restored at the expense of the English Order of St . John , to whom it is stated
it has been sold . The prpperty was purchased of Mr . Wickens by a private gentleman , a client of our house , and not b y the Order of St . John . That gentleman is a member of the English branch of the Order , and this may , in some
measure account for the report ; but though it is hoped that the Old Gate House may ultimately become the property of that body , it is intended for the present to keep it open as an oldfashioned tavern , under management whicli
we hope will satisfy the numerous literary and other clubs which have for so many years been connected with the locality . As the statement that the house is about to be closed is likely to do
the business considerable harm we shall be obliged by your finding room in your columns for this explanation of the real state of the matter . — We are , sir , yours , to ., Chapman and Turner . "

upon a numerous attendance in reply to the invitation . The Grand Orient considers that the occasion of its centenary will afford the opportunity of a reunion of brethren of all rites , for the purpose of renewing the bonds which exist between the great Alasonic family .
Several lodges 1 : 1 Pans are advocating a modification of the fees for the different degrees , so that the minimum may be as follow : First degree 25 francs ; Second degree 20 francs ; Third degree 1 K francs .
