"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.

First published in the The Pall Mall Gazette and the Pall Mall Budget on May 9th 1895. In the Sussex Edition the poem is dated 1894. ORG No. 634. Rudyard Kipling was initiated into the Lodge of Hope and Perseverance No 782 founded in 1858 under the English Constitution at the Masonic Hall the Jadughar as described in Kim in Anarkali Lahore on 5 April 1886 at the age of twenty. As this was the Lodge into which he was initiated it became his Mother Lodge. A Freemason will always have a particular attachment to the Lodge which saw him enter into Freemasonry even though he may cease to be a member of that particular Lodge. The poem was written some eight years later when he was living in Vermont. Charles Carrington in his The Complete Barrack-room Ballads p.166 reports that it was written in a single day on October 29th 1894 while Conan Doyle was staying with the Kiplings. It celebrates the equality which reigns among Freemasons without distinction of profession rank race or creed and the first two stanzas clearly reflect the diversity of this particular Lodge underscored by the refrain which contrasts the behaviour displayed in public with that shown inside the Lodge. The use of vernacular with the dropped �h� highlights the wide social rankings of the members." - See "The Mother Lodge" by George Kieffer 2017 London: Methuen And Co.

He also created the first ritual for what was to become the Order of the Eastern Star. Many references state that Rob Morris was born on August 31 1818 near Boston Massachusetts. However there is some evidence that he was born Robert Williams Peckham in New York and that he adopted the name of his foster parents after the death of his birth parents later shortening his name to Rob to avoid confusion with another poet named Robert Morris. After he became a Mason on March 5 1846 he became convinced that there needed to be a way for female relatives of Masons to share in some measure in the benefits of Freemasonry. While teaching at the Eureka Masonic College "The Little Red Brick School Building" in Richland Mississippi in 1849-1850 he wrote Eastern Star's first ritual titled The Rosary of the Eastern Star. He organized a "Supreme Constellation" in 1845 to charter Star chapters. In 1866 because of his planned travel abroad he handed over the organizational authority of Eastern Star to Robert Macoy. Over the years he wrote over 400 poems many of which were devoted to Eastern Star and Masonry. While traveling in the Holy Land he wrote the words to the hymn "O Galilee". In 1854 he wrote "The Level and the Square" which may be his best-known poem. Because of his many works on Masonic subjects on December 17 1884 he was crowned the "Poet Laureate of Freemasonry" an honor which had not been granted since the death of Robert Burns in 1796. His health began to fail in 1887 and in June 1888 he became paralyzed. He died on July 31 1888 and is buried at La Grange Kentucky. The Rob Morris Home is kept as a shrine to Rob Morris by the Kentucky Grand Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star." - See Wikipedia .

[ WOODFORD, Rev Adolphus Frederic Alexander - Editor] .:Biblio.com

The New Musical Instrument.; An Advert and report for the Lauch of the Masonic Life-Boat Albert Edward at Clacton-on-Sea; Provincial Grand Lodge Of Suffolk; etc. ". By the 1850s publishers had rapid and reliable access to the whole country in addition time spent travelling by rail created a demand for material to read. The growing number of freemasons were part of an expanding middle class who travelled and read and these factors help to explain why within three years of each other two new weekly masonic newspapers were launched The freemason in 1869 and The freemasons� chronicle in 1872. It is also surely no coincidence that the first weekly masonic publications were launched after the removal of the last of the stamp and paper taxes in 1855 and 1861 respectively commonly referred to as the taxes on knowledge. As Brake points out after these taxes were abolished there was a rise in daily and weekly serials. The newspaper reported freemasons� involvement in national events for example in the issue for the 27th October 1877 there is a notice concerning the Freemasons Indian Famine Fund. The regular column �Masonic and general tidings� always tended to include items of general interest such as short reviews of good restaurants in London and details of the Lord Mayor�s show. By the 1880s the newspaper had a special column which reviewed the plays on in the London theatres. A further indication of the leisure activities and interests of those who read the newspaper. The newspaper always included reports of lodge meetings with a section specifically for London lodges. These reports often give a detailed account of an event or a meeting listing individuals who attended and can be a very useful source of information about London freemasons and masonic life. Similarly the obituaries some of which are very detailed and include pictures provide insight into an aspect of a man�s life which in many cases has remained hidden. Between 1873 and 1885 the Rev. Adolphus Frederic Alexander Woodford acted as editor. Woodford was a formidable masonic scholar and drew around him some of the great masonic scholars of the time. As a result articles by such men began to appear in the newspapers pages and helped to ignite a lively debate about the accepted views of masonic history. The newspaper was reflecting the interests and concerns of a growing number of freemasons who were believed in a more disciplined and erudite approach to masonic history. In 1886 a year after Woodford stepped down as editor Quatuor Coronati Lodge No. 2076 was formed with the aim of being the premier research Lodge and Woodford was one of its founding members. The newspaper demonstrated that a new approach to the history of freemasonry was in demand by the brethren and the success of the research lodge which still exists today built on the foundations which the paper had laid." - See Fraternal Communications: The Rise Of The English Masonic Periodical by Rebecca Coombes 2009 . George Kenning. The son of an East End oyster seller Kenning realised the potential of the market: he not only manufactured the costumes but sold a range of products from his shops across Britain. He set up a mail order business which operated across the British Empire and was keen to develop new markets in the USA. He became a media magnate and advertised in his own widely read newspaper: The Freemason. He even extended the brand by becoming closely involved in developing new Masonic orders all of which needed special costumes and props. London: Bro. George Kenning, 198, Fleet-Street, 1878 . hardcover
