The Pedigree Of The English Sup. G. Council, Xxxiii.
Thus , the masonic pedigree of the mock " most puissant " magnates , the would-be supreme controllers , the aspiring arbitrary governors , of English high-grade masonry , is faithfully traced . It starts in questionable guise . First hatched by a tailor and a dancing-master ; then promulgated by a sea-cook , or steward , of such illustrious celebrity and descent that the Golden Square Council profess to believe him to have been the direct
representative of that world renowned hero-king , Frederick the Great ! If the Sup . G . C . 33 ° of England could blush at anything it ought to be crimson , to the very temples , at its miserable fate in being unable to produce no better genealogy , than this , of its masonic ^//; - sang ! I think I have shown these gentry in their true colours and must desist from carrying my investigation further , in this letter
and therefore conclude by promising your readers a good share of the amusement I derived when I examined the claims they put forward , founded on the matter which for years has been palmed off on unsuspecting brethren as a genuine document issuing from a king unable , at the date it purports to bear , to attend even to the urgent business of his kingdom and not the more likely to have devoted his hours of relief from his infirmities by devising
how tailors , dancing-masters , or sea-cooks , should employ the right divine of " monarchs , —retired from business . " However , as this will be the subject of my next communication I will not anticipate now , but subscribe myself , Yours fraternally , Manchester , July 20 th , 1871 . J YARKER .

Such Committees are of course of the nature of Trades Unions , ( of a certain class ) , and Fenian Centres .

the small proportions of a fly—buzzing down her opponent ' s throat , and so causing by her sudden expansion , within him , to her original form , his entire disruption .
