Notes:

"Several of these discourses have been delivered before the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, in discharge of my office of Grand Chaplain. Some of them have been already published, in a pamphlet form, at the request, and for the accommodation of the particular lodges at whose consecration they were delivered ... Some discourses are now added, which I declined publishing at the time of their delivery; and others are prepared for this volume to give it a suitable variety and a respectable size."--Preface, p. [iii]-v.

"A dissertation on the tessera hospitalis of the antient Romans; with a design to illustrate Rev. II.17. To which is added, an account of the Roman arrha hospitale; and of the bacillus, mentioned by Olaus Wormius."--p. [291]-313.
