The Curmudgeon Supreme and I read David Stevenson's article "James Anderson: Man & Mason" about James Anderson, one of the masons who helped assemble the Constitutions of the Free-Masons of 1723.
This article was first published in the Heredom Volume 10, 2002, a research journal put out by the Scottish Rite.
For many years, Doctor James Anderson has been accused of many negative reasons for helping to put together what we now know as the Constitutions of the Free-Masons of 1723 & 1738.
There is a lot that was going on during that time in and around England. England, Scotland, and Ireland were all fighting against each other, so why did these London Masons choose a short, red-headed Scotsman to help put together one of the most important Masonic documents ever published?
The origins of this mysterious Masonic document have been actively researched and analyzed, critiqued, and ignored since it first appeared in 1723, and we still do not fully understand why it was produced in the first place.
Brother David Stevenson is the author of both "The Origins of Freemasonry, Scotland's Century 1590-1710" and "The First Freemasons - Scotland's Early Lodges and Their Members 1988.
Let us keep exploring the mysterious origins of Masonry and Freemasonry with ruthless abandon.
