Transactions of the Quatuor Coronati Lodge. [p. 2]

One Lodge and nineteen Brethren were admitted to membership of the Correspondence Circle.

The Report of the Audit Committee, as follows, was received, adopted, and ordered to be entered on the Minutes:—

PERMANENT AND AUDIT COMMITTEE.

The Committee met at the Offices, No. 52, Great Queen Street, on Monday, the 3rd January, 1916.

Present:—Bro. W. Wonnacott, in the Chair, with Bros. Dr. W. Wynn Westcott, J. P. Simpson, F. W. Levander, Gordon Hills, W. J. Songhurst, Secretary, and A. S. Gedge, Auditor.

The Secretary produced his Books and the Treasurer's Accounts and Vouchers, which had been examined by the Auditor, and certified as being correct.

The Committee agreed upon the following

REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1915.

BRETHREN,

It is with regret that we have to record the death, on 26th March last, of Bro. ROBERT FREKE GOULD, a Founder and Past Master of the Lodge: the total membership is thereby reduced to thirty-four.

The St. John's Card for 1914 shewed a total of 3,287 members of the Correspondence Circle. Included in this total are about 100 names of those with whom communication has had to be suspended owing to the War. During the year under review only 153 names have been added to the list, while 254 have been removed:—60 by death, 139 by resignation, and 55 for non-payment of dues; a net loss on the year of 101.

The lamented death of Bro. Ernest Danvers, P.G.D., D.Dis.G.M., caused a vacancy in the local Secretaryship in the Argentine; and we have to express thanks to Bro. F. H. Chevallier Boutell, Dis.G.M., for consenting to continue the work on our behalf. Other changes under this head have been the regretted resignations of Bro. Cap^tn W. B. Dunlop, in the Punjab, and Bro. W. H. Bennett, in Natal. For the last-named district we are fortunate in securing the kind services of Bro. C. W. P. Douglas de Fenzi, P.G.D., Dis.G.Sec. In Derbyshire, where no Local Secretary has hitherto been appointed, Bro. T. H. Thorpe has been good enough to undertake to look after our interests. Our best thanks are due to all the seventy brethren who act in this capacity, for much good work and ready assistance.

The accounts herewith presented are perhaps better than might have been expected, the work of the year shewing a loss of £95 15s. 8d. against £167 0s. 2d. for 1914, and this loss is entirely attributable to the amount written off for depreciation of Investments. The arrears of Back Subscriptions have been reduced to a fairly satisfactory extent, but it will be seen that over £450 remains outstanding for 1915 alone.

A complete change in the Secretary's Clerical staff has effectually prevented the issue of another volume of Reprints, but it is hoped that good progress will be possible during the coming year.

The rooms at No. 52, Great Queen Street, which have inadequately served as the home of the Lodge for nearly seven years, have now become completely choked with the ever-increasing Library and Museum. An opportunity recently presented itself of acquiring No. 27, Great Queen Street, which is more conveniently situated. The lease has now been signed, and the removal of the Lodge property will be effected as soon as the necessary work in the new premises is completed. This will give good accommodation for present requirements as well as for extension, and, moreover, will provide a useful and much needed reading room for students.

For the Committee,

W. WONNACOTT, in the Chair.

The SECRETARY called attention to the following

EXHIBITS.

By BRO. R. J. SODDY, W.M., Moira Lodge No. 92.

1. The Moira Jewel, presented to the Earl of Moira, Acting G. Master, on 27th January, 1813, by subscription of the Craft. It has had the diamonds removed and paste substituted, and in its present condition is without the collar from which it was suspended.

---

Transactions of the Quatuor Coronati Lodge. [p. 5]

In a circle of brilliants, on a deep blue enamel ground is a compass and sector enclosing a five pointed rayed star in the centre of which is the letter G, the whole of these as well as the suspending ring being set with diamonds.

On the back is the following inscription:—

Presented in open Grand Lodge the 27th day of January A.D. 1813 A.L. 5817 to Brother THE EARL OF MOIRA K.G. &c. &c. &c. As a token of Fraternal Affectionate and Respectful Gratitude for his Zealous Constant and faithful discharge of the important Trust reposed in his Lordship as M.W. ACTING GRAND MASTER during a period of upwards of 21 Years

On a garter enclosing this inscription are the words:—

SOCIETY OF FREE AND ACCEPTED MASONS OF ENGLAND HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE REGENT M.W. GRAND MASTER.

On the reverse side of the plate which now appears at the back is another inscription to the following effect:—

Presented by His Royal Highness Augustus Frederick Duke of Sussex, Most Worshipful Deputy Grand Master of Free and Accepted Masons: Most Excellent and Supreme Principal of the Royal Arch & Most Eminent Grand Master of Knights Templars of England &c. &c. &c.

Originally the collar had seven rows of fine gold chain with five ornamental badges or clips set with brilliants. This and the jewel, said to have been of the value of £1,500, were the design and workmanship of Bro. J. C. Burckhhardt, who only charged cost price, for which he was publicly thanked by the Committee of Managers.

Full details of the Presentation Festival and illustrations of the Jewel were published in pamphlet form by James Asperne in February, 1813.

2. Patent of Appointment as Acting G.Master of the Royal Arch for the District of the East Indies, dated 22nd December, 1812, is signed only by the Duke of Sussex, who by special resolution of Grand Chapter was instructed to do so on behalf of the Grand Masters of the Order.

3. Petition for the Constitution of the Moira Lodge of Freedom and Fidelity (? Friendship and Fidelity) Calcutta, a Lodge which was never registered in the Books of G.Lodge, and was the only one sanctioned by the Earl of Moira as Acting G.Master of India. The Warrant was granted on the 8th of November, 1813, the first Master being Major General Sir Wm. Keir Grant, and the Wardens Colonel C. J. Doyle and Commodore John Hayes. The Lodge ceased working in 1821 and the Warrant was returned in 1823. As the Provincial Grand Lodge of Bengal was re-established shortly after the date of this Warrant other new Lodges were formed under the sanction of this body instead of holding directly from the Acting G.Master. (Refer to Lane's Masonic Records, p. 467.)

4. A series of aprons and clothing worn by Lord Moira in the Craft and other Degrees:—

a. E.A. apron, said to have been worn by him as Lord Rawdon at his initiation.

---

Transactions of the Quatuor Coronati Lodge. [p. 6]

b. Acting Grand Master's apron, lined with purple silk, size 14in. by 13in., edged 4¼in. deep, with purple apron strings and bullion tassels.

c. Grand Officer's apron, lined with blue silk, edging 4in. deep, with strings and tassels, size 15in. by 12in.

d. A similar apron but measuring 13in. by 10¼in., edging 3¼in. deep.

e. Another apron precisely similar to the last but with 4in. edging, and very much faded.

f. Grand Lodge apron lined with dark blue silk, with heavy gilt fringe, and embroidered on the flap with the Grand Master's emblem, with 4in. edging, apron strings and tassels. This is said to have been Lord Moira's full dress apron as Acting Grand Master for India.

g. Apron lined with green silk, with 1¾in. edging, size 17¼in. by 16in., which may be a Scotch apron, as Lord Moira was Acting G.Master for Scotland from 1806, or it may be a Country Steward's apron.

h. Royal Arch apron, with edging 2in. deep of the usual indented pattern and emblem on the flap.

i. Royal Arch sashes, one with gilt fringe and emblem on a button, the other with silk fringe and plain button.

j. Collar of Acting First G.Principal in the Royal Arch.

k. Rose Croix collar and jewel.

l. Knight Templar Sash with white silk rosette, and another with silver fringe and emblems.

m. Knight Templar's collar stock.

n. Knight Templar's star.

o. A white leather apron, with the letter A stamped in red on the flap. This has not been identified.

p. Ne Plus Ultra apron, of white silk on which are painted the various emblems of that Order.

5. Parchment Address on two skins, measuring four feet by two feet, in Persian and Bengali, presented to Lord Moira by the principal notabilities of Calcutta on his return from the successful Pindari War, and signed with numerous signatures in the two languages, one being in English, and stamped with the seals of the signatories in black and smoke. It bears the date 1818. In one case where no seal was available the signatory has impressed his thumb mark.

The above exhibits have been presented by Miss Edith Hastings and Lady Maud Hastings to the Moira Lodge, and will form the nucleus of a Museum, which has since been formed, of relics of the Earl of Moira.

By BRO. C. POWELL, J.W., and BRO. J. LITTLETON, Bristol.

6. The Moira Apron, worn in 1813-1815 by W.Bro. Wm. Powell, and now the property of the Moira Lodge of Honour, Bristol. This was published by L. Hayes, of Bristol, on the 31st of March, 1813.

By BRO. W. WONNACOTT, W.M.

7. Book plate of Lord Rawdon.

THE COLLECTANEA OF THE REV. DANIEL LYSONS, F.R.S., F.S.A.

BY BRO. F. W. LEVANDER, P.Pr.S.G.W., P.Pr.G.J., Middlesex.

PART II.

CLUBS AND SOCIETIES, CHIEFLY IN LONDON, INCLUDING NOTES FROM OTHER SOURCES.

THE first volume of Lysons's Collectanea, which is now in our Lodge Library, contains a considerable number of advertisements and paragraphs cut from sundry newspapers respecting eighteenth century Societies, including some concerning the Craft. As scraps of this nature are occasionally met with elsewhere, it is my intention in the present paper not to confine myself solely to Lysons, as regards Clubs and Societies in the eighteenth century, chiefly in London, the number of which appears to have been legion. Upwards of 200 are mentioned in Bro. Hextall's paper on "Some Old-time Clubs and Societies"¹ and the discussion that followed its reading. Unless anything fresh could be brought forward concerning them, it would be undesirable even to mention them, so that the number of cuttings that I could have otherwise made use of is reduced.

It would be well-nigh, if not quite, impossible to trace our modern Club in all its stages from its earliest sources. But among the Greeks we may go back to the Odyssey, the exact date of which is lost in the mists of antiquity, to find mention of meetings for convivial purposes and social intercourse. These, however, would correspond more to our picnics. At these everyone furnished his share of the feast, for which he was afterwards remunerated, or, to save trouble, one was deputed to cater for all and was afterwards repaid. In later times several clubs were formed at Athens for convivial, charitable or political purposes, or for all these combined. At each meeting, which took place once a month, or even more frequently, every member was bound to pay his subscription; should anyone fail to do so, the amount was made up by the president, who might recover it by whatever means he could. The earliest association corresponding at all to our modern club was probably one founded at Athens about B.C. 320; its members from their number called themselves "The Sixty." They had a secretary, part of whose duty was to enter in a book every good thing that was uttered by a member. Athenian clubs multiplied and were known as ἔρανοι or ἑταιρίαι. Among the Romans there were various Collegia and Sodalitates, some of which Cicero tells us were unlawful secret societies.

The earliest English Club appears to have been called "La Court de bone Compagnie" in the early part of the fifteenth century. About a hundred years
