"Captain George Smith was a Freemason of some distinction during the latter part of the 18th century. Although born in England he entered the military service of Prussia being connected with noble families of the kingdom. During his residency in the kingdom he was initiated in one of the German Lodges. On his return to England he was appointed Inspector of the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich and published The Universal Military Dictionary in 1779 and Bibliotheca Miliaris in 1783. Captain Smith in 1783 published a work entitled The Use and Abuse of Freemasonry: a work of the greatest utility to the Brethren of the Society to Mankind in general and to the Ladies in particular. The interest to the ladies consists in some twenty pages in which he gives the "Ancient and Modern reasons why the ladies have never been accepted into the Society of Freemasons" a section the omission of which would scarcely have diminished the value of the work or the reputation of the author. The work was published without the sanction and the Craft being wiser than their representatives in the Grand Lodge the edition was speedily exhausted. In 1785 Captain Smith was expelled from the Society for "uttering an instrument purporting to be a certificate of the Grand Lodge recommending two distressed Brethren." - See Masonic Network.

A very good copy of this scarce book. "Thomas Dunckerley was born on 23 October 1724 and died on 19 November 1795. After a naval career Dunckerley became a prominent freemason being appointed Provincial Grand Master of several provinces promoting Royal Arch Masonry introducing Mark Masonry to England and instituting a national body for Templar masonry. This was made possible by an annuity of �100 rising to �800 which he obtained from King George III by claiming to be his illegitimate half brother. Albert Mackey blamed Dunckerley for inventing Royal Arch Masonry and splitting the third degree in the process removing the true word of a mason to the new degree and losing the original "pure" form of the ritual forever. This is unlikely as the Royal Arch degree was worked for at least a decade before Dunckerley's initiation. He published a number of Charges Lectures and songs related to different branches of Freemasonry. Together with Grand Secretary Heseltine and William Preston he campaigned and raised funds for the first dedicated headquarters of English Freemasonry the first Freemason's Hall. During his lifetime he held various high masonic offices: Past Senior Grand Warden of England Provincial Grand Master for the Counties above mentioned and Past Grand Master and Grand Superintendent of Royal Arch Masons over eighteen counties. His major contribution was to the emerging "higher degrees" the Templar Royal Arch Ark Mariner and Mark degrees. Not only did he successfully promote them he organised them standardised their ritual and forced them to keep proper records. For this alone historians of Freemasonry have cause to be grateful to him." - See Wikipedia.
