Oring and character with which we are
familiar. Men were admitted To the Or
der who were not rrai or true working
masons. but who were called accepted
masons." This system first rose in Eng
land about the middle of the seventeenth
century. Charles II. was the patron Of
the few lodges then existing in the king
dom. and William III, presided over Il
lodge in Hampton Court. The ancient
Cabiric fashion extended itself under the
new nomenclature, and curiously enough
it was from the British Isles it passed in
to the continent of Europe, where the old
guilds of working masons had become
mere traditions, but were not quite for
/ gotten. In most things the European
fashions came from France, but in free
masonry the English and Scotch had it
all their own way, and their peculiar
| style of ritual was adopted everywhere.
The oldest lodge of England is that of
I York. In the revival the men of that
city found, or forged, some old parch-
ments, which, published in 1873, told
how there was guild of working ma
sons in that place during the reign OF
/ Athelstan 1926 A. D. Then the Scotch
Masons found parchment of their own,
which spoke of ''lodge'' formed at
the building of the Abbey Of kilwin-
ming, in l140. At London DIR. Ander-
son published his History Of Freema-
| sonrv, modifying the constitution and
charges of Il freemascnn after the ideas of
Ayhmolc. and this became textbook OF

America-all derived directly or indi-

Of the way the Grand Lodge of Eng
land ordered things on the continent,
nominating kings and princes to the
Grand Mastcrships Of Foreign lodges
But some of the princes did not like the
subtcrrancan activity Of those insular
ideas. In Russia, Holland, France and
other places, Frecmasonry was checked,
while in Italy, Spain and Portugal it
was completely quellcd by the inquisi-
ton. Meantime the varieties of the
