Masonic Notes .

Bro . Henry Sadler has found time to write another work , and certainly this one , which completes the trio , bids fair to be as interesting as either , and to many the most useful of the three . The extraordinary career of Bro . Thomas Dunckerley , whilom gunner in the Royal

Navy , and subsequently a barrister , and Past Senior Grand Warden of England , as also Prov . Grand Master and Grand Superintendent of numerous provinces in England , has never received the attention it deserves . * * *

Dunokerley ' s name and fame were rather clouded in regard to some of his Masonic transactions , but we believe unjustly so . Doubtless Bro . Sadler will see that the character of this enthusiastic Craftsman is duly rehabilitated , as he has the means to adequately

examine into the facts of the case . His remarkable orig in will call for rigid scrutiny and careful consideration , but we feel assured the whole matter vvill be in good hands , and we look forward quite eagerly to the

advent of this pre-eminently needful volume concerning one of the most prominent Masons ol the last century . As a list of subscribers is to be printed vvith the work , brethren should have their names enrolled at once . * * * .

At the regular meeting of the Eureka Lodge , No . 47 , Dundalk , Ireland , held on the 13 th inst ., a vote of thanks was unanimously and heartily passed to Bro . W . J . Hughan , of Torquay , for the gift to the library of the rare tract , " A Vindication of the Real Principles

of Freemasonry , " which contains the evidence that Lord George Sackville vvas Grand Master of Ireland in 1751 . Bro . Hughan vvas elected an honorary member of this lodge sometime since , and has taken considerable interest in the progress of the library . The

members meet periodically during the winter months to read papers and discuss matters Masonic , and No . 47 is thus quite a Quatuor Coronati Lodge in miniature and one of their members ( Bro . C . P . Cooper ) is a member of the " C . C . "
