Appendix<br />

Part I<br />

containing a <strong>List</strong> <strong>of</strong> all the Ls. <strong>of</strong> which Masonic Fellows <strong>of</strong> the Royal Society were members<br />

[Unless otherwise indicated, all the pre-1813 Ls. were warranted by the PGL; those warranted by the AGL are so<br />

designated. For Ls. under the jurisdiction <strong>of</strong> the 3 GLs <strong>of</strong> England and <strong>of</strong> Ireland, the word L. is included immediately<br />

before the no., whereas in Scotland and on the continent, it precedes the name. In the main, therefore, the word L.<br />

does not appear, but in certain cases, for the avoidance <strong>of</strong> doubt, the letter L. has been included in the designation,<br />

appropriately]<br />
