Appendix, Part II<br />

containing a <strong>List</strong> <strong>of</strong> all the Royal Arch Chapters <strong>of</strong> which Masonic Fellows <strong>of</strong> the Royal Society were<br />

members<br />

C. <strong>of</strong> St James No. 2. 763<br />

Restoration No. 1. 764<br />

Chapters under the English Constitution – in London, unless otherwise stated<br />

La Vertueuse Chapter Rose Croix, Batavia, Djarkata.<br />

Order beyond the Craft under the Dutch Constitution<br />

763 Chartered 1788 [DLC, 399].<br />

764 Warranted on 14 Jul 1769 under the name <strong>of</strong> Restoration L. or Chapter <strong>of</strong> the Rock, London, which has since been erased from the Roll <strong>of</strong><br />

Chapters [as appears in a paper by A. R. Hewitt ‘The 1st Bi-Centenaries <strong>of</strong> Royal Arch Chapters’, reproduced in AQC 81, 333-5, at 334, by kind<br />

permission <strong>of</strong> the Committee <strong>of</strong> General Purposes, which Mrs Katrina Jowett was good enough to forward to the compiler with a letter dated 14<br />

Apr 2003. The author mentions ‘The practice <strong>of</strong> calling a L. as well as a Chapter has so far gone unexplained. Obviously the new body (the<br />

Grand Chapter, constituted by the Charter <strong>of</strong> Compact which was ostensibly dated 22 Jul 1766, but more likely to have been completed in the<br />

following year) had no pretensions to the power <strong>of</strong> establishing Ls. and it may well be that the founders <strong>of</strong> Grand Chapter wished to emphasize a<br />

close association with the Craft.’].
