The light this deeply interesting book throws on the spread of speculative Freemasonry is ably depicted by Bro. Vernon, whose wee volume has been in such great request that a copy in any Library is a real rara avis. The minutes of tbe Lodge prove that far on in tbe last century the members were not in the possession of the “Third Degree.” This is not to be wondered at when the earliest records of such do not, in Scotland, begin until 1735, and in England only 11 years before.
