THE END
THE TEMPLAR ORDERS IN
FREEMASONRY
An Historical Consideration of their Origin and Development
By ARTHUR EDWARD WAITE
HAVING regard to the fact that Emblematic Freemasonry, as it is
known and practised at this day, arose from an Operative Guild and
within the bosom of a development from certain London Lodges which
prior to the year 1717 had their titles in the past of the Guild
and recognised its Old Charges, it would seem outside the
reasonable likelihood of things that less than forty years after
the foundation of Grand Lodge Knightly Orders should begin to be
heard of developing under the aegis of the Craft, their titles in
some cases being borrowed from the old institutions of Christian
Chivalry. It is this, however, which occurred, and the inventions
were so successful that they multiplied on every side, from 1754
