- Description:
1/1/January 1, 1881-July 28, 1900. The last numbered issue was that for August 1895, and only one issue seems to have been issued thereafter. This was the organ of John Yarker's Antient & Primitive Rite of Masonry, which has intimate connections with the origins of the Theosophical Society and with later occult organizations, such as Theodor Reuss' O.T.O. Despite its notoriety for contributions by Mackenzie and Yarker, the journal by and large consisted of lodge news and of Yarker's interminable efforts to establish his Masonic genealogy. Listed in F. Leigh Gardner, A Catalogue Raisonne of Works on the Occult Sciences, Vol. 1, Rosicrucian Books (London: Privately Printed, 1903). |
