PREFACE.

THEInefpable'Degrees op Mason-
HY, the History and Charges of which are
contained in the following pages, are as
ancient (it is alledged) as the time of
King Solomon ; the proof of which, is
probably known only to those who are
professors of the degrees.
• The general design of this part of the
work is to preserve the History aad
Charges of the several Ineffable Degrees
from falling into oblivion ; with which
they have been long threatened, as well
from the small number of conventions of
masons who possess them, as from the
little attention that has been paid to their
meetings of late years.

It will also serve to convince masons
whs possess the Degress treated of in the
first part of this work, that there is a total
difference between those and the Ineffa-
hle Degrees 4 for it is a circumstance

PB1FAG&.

necessary to be known, that there is ne
part of these degrees that have any re«

semblance to the fourth, fifth, sixth or
seventh degrees before mentioned, or that
have any reference or allusion to any of
the circumstances op which those de-
grees were founded. But, notwithstand-
ing this difference, it will clearly appear,
from the account here given of the Ineffa-
ble Degrees, that much ingenuity is dis-
played in their formation ; that their de-
sign is noble, benevolent and praisewor*
thy ; and that the institution was intended
for the glory of the Deity and the good
of mankind,
