NOTES . ( a ) Vermont . — According to the latest returns we have seen , this Grand Lodge has about 100 lodges , with a total membership of about Sooo subscribing brethren .

( b ) Abbe Barruel , b . 1741 , is known principally by the very violent attack he made on Freemasonry , in his " Alumoires pour servir , M'HistoireduJacobinisme , " pubIished in 1797 . It passed through several editions , has been translated into more than one language , but it is little read now . The Abbo

sought to make out that Freemasonry had been the cause of all the irreligion and revolution in France ; though he must have known that many who held the same religious views as himself were members of the

suciety , and that the Revolution had practically compelled the lodges into a state of silence and inactivity . His attack , as well as that of Professor Robison , was most ably answered by the Pro Grand Alaster , the Earl of Moira .

( c ) W . H . Lambton , ancestor of the Earls of Durham , whose family name is Lambton , while their second title is Viscount Lambton . This family has always taken a deep interest in Freemasonry ; the first earl , in particular , who died in 1 S 40 , having held high office both in Grand Lodge and his native province .

( d ) Virginia enjoys the honour of having numbered amongst its members General George Washington , who , more than any other man , contributed to the establishment as an independent state , and was the first President of the United States . Washington was initiated in a lodge at Fredericksburg , in 1752 .

( e ) Tennessee . —In this jurisdiction there are full 400 lodges , with over iG , ooo subscribing members . From the financial returns we have seen , we gather that this Grand Lodge is in a prosperous condition , having a balance to its credit of between 7000 and Sooo dollars ( £ 1400 and £ 1600 . )

(/) Louis Claude de St . Martin , an able writer on mysticism and a zealous Mason , was born in 1743 . He was a soldier and a great traveller , as well as a disciple of Martinez Paschales , whose rule he reformed and extended .

( . <*•) Mother Kilwinning . —According to Bro . Alurray Lyon , this lodge , on the re-organisation of the Scotch lodges , in 1598-9 , was confirmed in its position as one of the ancient "head" lodges , but was placed second , or next , on the roll after the Lodg-e of Edinburgh ( Alarv's Chapel ) . In

' 6 77 it issued a warrant to certain Craftsmen m the Canongate of Edinburgh to enter and pass Alasons in its name and on its behalf . In 1729 it began to issue charters . In 1736 , on the establishment of the Grand Lodge of Scotland , it was again placed second on the roll , and after Mary ' s Chapel ; but being dissatisfied with its position , it withdrew a

lew years later , and continued to issue warrants on its own authority . In 1 S 07 the s chism was healed , and Alother Kilwinning was placed at the head of the roll , without a number . Its R . W . Master is also Provincial "rand Alaster of Ayrshire , the present occupant of that position being R . W . Bro . R . W . Cochran Patrick , LL . D ., ALP .

(/¦) Scotland , the youngest of the three Grand Lodges of the United Kingdom , has on its roll several hundred lodges

Colonies and abroad , and , where numerous enough , there are regularly organised Provincial Grand Lodges , which work concurrently and in perfect harmony with the District Grand Lodges under the English Constitution and the Provincial Grand Lodges holding under Ireland .

( i ) F . Mossdorf , a distinguished German official and Freemason , born at Eckartsberge in 1757 , and died at Dresden in 1 S 43 . Subsequent to his initiation , as stated in the Calendar , he joined the Lodge Zu dendrei Schwerten , at Dresden , and took a very active part in its proceedings . He

was a friend of Fessler and Krause , and corresponded with Schroder . In 1 S 05-G he edited the " Alaurerisches Taschenbuche , " and also contributed to the "Neuen Freimaurischen Taschenbuche , " 1 S 0 G-7 . He also editt-. d and wrote largely for Lr-rminsr's

" Encyclopedic der Freimaurerei . " Having , with the consent of his lodge , circulated the intelligence of the publication of Krause ' s documents , he was , on 17 th December , 1 S 19 , ordered by the Grand Lodge to absent himself from the lodge for an indefinite period , on which he quitted the Fraternity .

(;!¦) Baron Von Knigge , d . 1796 . — He is said to have been initiated at Cassel , in 1772 , and to have received the High Grades at Hanau five years later . In 17 S 0 he joined Weishaupt ' s Illuminati , and was known by the name of " Philo . " At the

Wilhemsbad Convention , in 17 . S 2 , he sought in vain to obtain a recognition of that order , and two years later , having quarrelled with Weishaupt , resigned his connection with it . According to Kloss , he was the author of several Alasonic works .

( I ) Kentucky . —The earliest lodge established in this jurisdiction met at Lexington and received its warrant from the Grand Lodge of Virginia . Its first Grand Alaster was Bro . W . Alurray . lt has on its roll not far short of Goo lodges , the subscribing members to which muster fully 21 , 000 .

(?•*) J . A . Von Starck , d . 1816 . —He studied at Gottingen , and is said to have been made a Freemason in a French Military Lodge . In 17 G 3 he became a Professor in St . Petersburg )) , where the Rite of Alelesino flourished . While in the Russian capital

he became acquainted with the interior economy of the Strict Observance , which he reformed or relaxed , as some prefer to call the changes he introduced into the system , which , under his arrangement had the three regular Alasonic and four superior grades .

(;*) Hamburg . —It was in this city that the first German Lodge was established under the Grand Lodge of England . It worked for some time without a name , but in 1741 assumed that of "Absalom . " Itbccame an independent Grand Lodge in 1 S 11 , with Bro . Beckmann as Grand Alaster and Bro .

Schroder as Deputy Grand Alaster . It has under it three lodges and over 2 G 00 members . There is also a Provincial Grand Lodge of Lower Saxony in this city , with six Johannite Lodges , and anAridrcwLodge , with a few

hundred members ; and the " Eclectic System , " or Schroder ' s " Kngbund , " which is worked in two lodges having between them about 300 members . The system in the Grand Lodge is Schroder's ; in the Prov . Grand Lodge that of Zinnendorf .
