The L. was at 1st virtually the private L. of George, Prince of Wales, KG, FRS [qv, above], later Prince Regent, then George IV, its members being drawn mainly from his friends and entourage. It would seem that very many of the Masonic FRSs listed in this study were members. 682 Established by the PGL in October 1909, being ‘a L. of Masons for the purpose of ascertaining and promulgating the Ancient Land Marks of the Society and instructing the Craft in all such matters and forms as may be necessary to be known by them in Consequence of and Obedience to the said Resolution.’ At its first meeting this L. of Promulgation started to consider the principal points of variations between the Antient and the Modern practices. To determine what was truly ancient it had the benefit of advice from Brethren who were Antient Masons. Moreover, the secretary of the L. of Promulgation was also the Acting Master of the L. of Antiquity and he reorded that it ‘had adhered to the ancient and had never adhered to the modern practices in the several ceremonies of openming and closing the L. and in the modes prescribed for communicating the peculiar secrets in the several degrees.’ It is not surprising, therefore, that the deliberations of the L. resulted largely in recommendations that the Antient usages should be followed, including the adoption of Deacons and of a ceremony of installation of Masters of Ls..’ [Grand L. 1717–1967, 125]. 133
