Consisting of sixty-four different compartments, viz., forty-six in the first plate, nine in the second, and nine in the third, colliprising the following Degrees in Masonry :—lst, 2nd, and 3rd in Craft, R.A., A.M., K.T., &c. By W.FINCH, Author of the Masonic Treatise.

A noted Masonic charlatan, who carried on a lucrative business for many years. He was once connected with the Craft, and subsequently did not scruple to “make Masons” on his own account. Neither did he hesitate to employ the law to secure payment of his fees for such, but in that respect iguominonsly failed, the “defendant” coming off victorious, and Finch possibly a “sadder,” if not a “wiser man.”
