Excerpt from The Origin and History of an Old Masonic Lodge, "the Caveac", No. 176, of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of EnglandIn this case the accident was a curious one. As First Principal of the Caveae Chapter I had the privilege of exailting our Brother Colonel Green Thompson of the Caveae Lodge. I had ascertained when making some researches into the History of Royal Arch Masonry that the fourth actual Warrant granted to a Chapter was conferred on the Chapter of the Royal I'nniskilling Dragoons at York, and dated 3rd October, 1770. In proposing the health of our Companion at the Banquet I mentioned this fact as interesting to one who had lately commanded this Regiment. Companion Green Thompson asked me afterwards to obtain if possible some further facts relating to the Masonic traditions of the Regiment, as he was shortlv dining with their colonel-ih-chief, His Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught, and would like to be in 11 position to refer to the matter. I promised to do so and of course visited the Grand Lodge Library. There, with the kind aid of Brother Sadler, some facts of interest were gathered together. Looking through one of the Indexesfor the word Cavah'y I came. Across the wor-d Caveae. Ithought that it referred to our present Lodge, but on looking further I 1'ou-md thati had got the wrong index, and this one related to ancient meeting places of Masonic Lodges. Thereupon followed further researches, the results of which are embodied in this little Book.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
