This Volume of Pamphlets, Constitutions, Ste., relating to America, will serve to illustrate a few of the many differences between the Roles and Regulations ef the Grand Lodges in the United States and Canada, and those of this country. Membership in America does not begin until the “third degree” has been taken, and other divergencies from our customs will be noted in these Grand Constitutions. The Addresses of the Grand Masters once a year, and Reports of “Committees of Correspondence,” are features ofAmerican usage, which might well be imitated in this country.
