Canonbury Lodge ( No . 955 ) . —We have this week the pleasure of recording the presentation of a testimonial to the founder of this Lodge , Bro . Thos . Bohn , P . M . No . 201 ; P . M . and Sec . No . 955 ; and J . W . No . 7 . Apart from the
merits of the recipient as a Mason , we congratulate the members of the Canonbury Lodge on the good spirit evinced by them at so early a period of its existence . An acknowledgment of the services rendered by Bro . Bohn as P . M . was only an expectancy , considering the severe labour he had gone through during his year of office ( few Masters having the happy privilege of initiating so many members as he had ) , but to have recognized the exertions of the immediate P . M . as the founder of the Lodge must double the estimation in which the compliment will be hekL A very interesting chapter might be written on the origin and nomenclature of
Lodges—some , doubtless , owing their beginnings to the occasional or accidental meetings of friends on many a loyal occurrence—some to a desire to perpetuate the name of some august personage , great warrior , or brilliant victory ; whilst others , less pretending or aspiring , have been designed to give a local habitation and a name to the regular monthly meetings of Brethren united for the advancement of Masonic business , and the diffusion of charitable feelings amongst the initiated . The Canonbury Lodge owes its name and commencement to the latter cause , and we cannot do less than unite with the Craft in acknowledging the correctness of Bro . Bonn's ideas that the North of London was to some extent unrepresented at Grand Lodge , and that the Canonbury district was
one in which much Masonic talent was lying latent or unproductive . In the month of February 1856 , the Lodge was consecrated , its roll of members containing eight names ; in February 1858 , the Third Master was installed in the presence of forty-six members , —an increase mainly attributable to the exertions of Bro .

The presentation took place at the monthly meeting of the members of the Lodge , which was held at the Canonbury Tavern , Islington , on the 8 th instant , when Mr .
