NOTES . ( a ) Vermont . — According to the latest returns we have seen , this Grand Lodge has about 100 lodges , with a total membership of about Sooo subscribing brethren .
( b ) Abbe Barruel , b . 1741 , is known principally by the very violent attack he made on Freemasonry , in his " Alumoires pour servir , M'HistoireduJacobinisme , " pubIished in 1797 . It passed through several editions , has been translated into more than one language , but it is little read now . The Abbo
sought to make out that Freemasonry had been the cause of all the irreligion and revolution in France ; though he must have known that many who held the same religious views as himself were members of the
suciety , and that the Revolution had practically compelled the lodges into a state of silence and inactivity . His attack , as well as that of Professor Robison , was most ably answered by the Pro Grand Alaster , the Earl of Moira .
( c ) W . H . Lambton , ancestor of the Earls of Durham , whose family name is Lambton , while their second title is Viscount Lambton . This family has always taken a deep interest in Freemasonry ; the first earl , in particular , who died in 1 S 40 , having held high office both in Grand Lodge and his native province .
( d ) Virginia enjoys the honour of having numbered amongst its members General George Washington , who , more than any other man , contributed to the establishment as an independent state , and was the first President of the United States . Washington was initiated in a lodge at Fredericksburg , in 1752 .
( e ) Tennessee . —In this jurisdiction there are full 400 lodges , with over iG , ooo subscribing members . From the financial returns we have seen , we gather that this Grand Lodge is in a prosperous condition , having a balance to its credit of between 7000 and Sooo dollars ( £ 1400 and £ 1600 . )
(/) Louis Claude de St . Martin , an able writer on mysticism and a zealous Mason , was born in 1743 . He was a soldier and a great traveller , as well as a disciple of Martinez Paschales , whose rule he reformed and extended .
( . <*•) Mother Kilwinning . —According to Bro . Alurray Lyon , this lodge , on the re-organisation of the Scotch lodges , in 1598-9 , was confirmed in its position as one of the ancient "head" lodges , but was placed second , or next , on the roll after the Lodg-e of Edinburgh ( Alarv's Chapel ) . In
' 6 77 it issued a warrant to certain Craftsmen m the Canongate of Edinburgh to enter and pass Alasons in its name and on its behalf . In 1729 it began to issue charters .
