THE GRAND CHAPTER . TO THE EDITOR OF THE FREEMASONS' MAGAZINE AND MASONIC MIRROR . Sir and BnoTiiEn ,- ^ In the report of the Supreme Grand Chapter , at p . 275 of the Magazine , I read that ^ Comp . Havers chose to correct Comp . Symonds in the following style;— Now with regard to the position of the Grand Lodge of England in the early part of last century , to Avhich Bro . Symonds had alluded , he appeared , in common with many others , to have fallen into error . That case had of late been frequently and erroneously quoted .

abeyance . " Now into the merits of the question , not being an Arch Mason I shall not attempt to inquire ; but , as I have been given to understand that Bro . Havers is looked upon as the virtual Grand Master , I am somewhat
surprised to find him attempting to put another gentleman down , as m error , on a point on which he himself is wrong ! Bro . Havers says , u 1717 , many years after the death of Sir C . Wren , " & c . If he will take the trouble to look at The Parentalia , Elmes , Chalmers ' s Biographia , or in any encyclopedia , he will find that on the accession of George I . in 1714 ,
