THE QUATUOR CORONATI LODGE No. 2076, LONDON, was warranted on the 28th November, 1884, in order 1.-To provide a centre and bond of unlon for Masonic Students. %-To attract intell~gentM asons to its meetings, ln order to imbue them aith a lore for Masonic research. 3.-To submit the discoveries or conclusions of students to the judgment and criticism of their fellows by means of papers read in Lodge. 4.-To submit these communicatmns and the discussions arising thereon to the general body of the Craft by publishing, at proper intervals, the Transact~onso f the Lodge 111 the~re ntirety &-TO tabulate concisely, m the prlnteci Transactions of the Lodge, the progless of the Craft througho& tho World. 6.-To make the English-speaking Craft acquainted xith the progress of Masonic study abroad, by translations {in whole or part) of foreign works. 7.-To reprint scarce and valuable morlis on Freemasonry, and to publish Manuscripts, kc. 8.-To form a Masonic Library and hfuseunl. 9.-To acquire permanent London premises, and open a reading-room for the members. T%e membership is limited to forty, in order to prevent the Lodge becoming unwieldy. No members are admitted without a high literary, artistic, or scientific qualification. The annual subscription is one guinea, and the fees for initiation and joining are twenty guineas and five guineas respectively. The funds are wholly devoted to Lodge and literary purposes, and no portion is spent in refreshment. The members usually dine together after the meetings, but at their own individual cost. Visitors, who are cordially *elcome, enjoy the option of partaking-on the same terms-of a meal at the connuon table. The stated meetings are the first Friday in January, March, Xay, and October, St. John's Day (in Harvest), md the 8th November (Feast of the Quatuor Coronati). At every meeting an original paper is read, which is followed by a discussion. The Transactions of the Lodge, Ars Quatuor C'oronutomm, are published towards the end of April, July, and December in each year. They contain a sulnmary of the business of the Lodge, the full text of the papers read in Lodge together with the discussions, many essays colllmunicated by the brethren but for \vhich no time can be found at the meetings, biographies, historical notes, reviews of Masonic publications, notes and queries, obituary, and other matter. They are profusely illustrated and handsomely printed. The Antiquarian Reprints of the Lodge, Quat~to(~~ oronato~rumA ntigmphn, appear at undefined intervals, and consist of facsimiles of documents of Masonic interest with commentaries or introductions by brothers ~velli nformed on the subjects treated of. The St. John's Card is a symbolic plate, conve~inga greeting to the members, and is issued on or Bbout the 27th December of each year. It forms the frontispiece to a list of the members of the Lodge and of the Correspondence circle. with their Masonic rank and addresses, and is of uniform size with the Transactions with which it is usuallv hound up as an appendix. The Library has now been arranged at KO. 27, (;heat Queen Street, Lincoln's Inn Fields, London, where DIembers of both Circles may consnlt the books on applicailon to the Secretary. To the Lodge is attached an outer or CORRESPONDENCE CIRCLE. This was inaugurated in January, 1887, and now numbers about 3500 members. comprising many .of the most distinguished brethren of the Craft, such as Masonic Students and Writers, Grand Masters, Grand Secretaries, and nearly 300 Grand Lodges, Supreme Councils, Prirate Lodges, Libraries and other corporate bodies. The members of our Correspondence Circle are placecl on the following footing:- 1.-The summonses convoking the meetings are postecl to them regularly. They are entitled to attend all the meetings of the Lodge whenerer conveniefit to themselves, but, unlike the members of the Inner Circle, their attendance is not even morally obligatory. When present they are entitled to take part in the discussions on the papers read before the Lodge, and to introduce their personal friends. They are not visitors at our Lodge meetings, but rather associates of the Lodge. 2.-The printed Il'ransnctions of the Lodge are posted to them as issued. 3.-The St. John's Card is sent to then1 annually. &-They are, equally with the full members, entitled to subicrlbe for the other publications of the Lodge, such as those mentioned under No. 7 above. 5.-Pagers from Correspondence Members are gratefully accepted, and as far as possible, recorded in the Transac tions. 6.-They are accorded free aclmittance to our Library and Reading Rooms. A Candidate for Membership in the Correspondencr Circle is subject to no qualification, literary, artistic, or scientific. His election takes place at the Lodge-meeting following the receipt of his application. Brethren elected to the Correspondence Circle pay a joining fee of twenty-one shillings, which includes the subscription to the following 30th Korember. The annnal subscription is only half-a-gninea (10s. Gtl.), and is renewable rach December for the foilo~vingy ear. Brethren joining 11s late in the year suffer no disadvantage, as they receive all the T~ansactionsp reviously issued in the same year. It will thus be seen that for ouly ldf the annual subscription, the members of the Correspondence Circle enjoy all the advantages of the full members, except the right of 1-oting in Lodge matters and holding office. Members of both Circles are requested to favour the Secretal-y with communications to be read in Lodge and subsequently printed. Bfembers of foreign jurisdictions xill, we trust-, keep us posted from time to time in the current Vasonic history of their districts. Foreign members can render still further assistauce by furnishing us at intervals with the names of new Masonic Works published abroad, together with any printed reviews of such publications. Members should also bear in nlincl that every additional member increases our power of doing good by publishing matter of interest to them. Those. therefore. who ]lave already eqxrienced the advantage of association aith us, are urged to advocate onr cause to their personal friends, and to induce them to join us. Were each n~ernber annually to send 11s one new member, we should soon be in a position to offer them many more advantages khan me already provide Those who can help us in no other wa~-,c an do so in this. Every Xaster Mason in good standing throughout the Universe, and a11 Lodges, Chapters, and Masonic Libraries or other corporate bodies are eligible as Members of the Correspondence Circle. LIFE MEMBERSHIP.-By the payment in one sum of Twelve years' Subscription in advance, i.e., six guineas, individual Brethren may qualify as Life Members of the Correspondence Circle. Corporate Bodies may qualify. as Life Members by a similar payment of Twenty-five years' Subscription. Expulsion from the Craft naturally entails a forfeiture of Membership in the Correspondence Circle, and the Lodge also reserves to itself the full power of excluding any Correspondence Member whom it may deem to he AIasonically (or otherwise) unv-orthy of continued membership.
