Still a well preserved copy of this scarce book. William Alexander Laurie was originally a stocking-weaver and afterward became a bookseller and stationer in Parliament Square Edinburgh and printer of the Edinburgh Gazette. He was appointed bookseller and stationer to the Grand Lodge of Scotland and afterward Grand Secretary. In 1804 he published a book entitled The History of Freemasonry drawn from authentic sources of information; with an account of the Grand Lodge of Scotland from its Institution in t7S to the present time compiled from the Records; and an Appendix of Original Papers. Of this valuable and interesting work Lawrie was at one time deemed the author notwithstanding that the learning exhibited in the first part and the numerous references to Greek and Latin authorities furnished abundant internal evidence of his incapacity from previous education to have written it. The doubt which naturally arises whether he was really the author derives great support from the testimony of the late Dr. David Irving Librarian to the Faculty of Advocates Edinburgh. A writer in the Notes and Queries Third Series iii 366 on May 9 1863 stated that at the sale of the library of Doctor Irving on Saturday March 28 1B62 a copy of Lawrie's History of Freemasonry was sold for �1. In that copy there was the following memorandum in the handwriting of Doctor Irving: The history of this book is somewhat curious and perhaps there are only two individuals now living by whom it could be divulged The late Alexander Lawrie "Grand Stationer" wished to recommend himself to the Fraternity by the publication of such a work. Through Doctor Anderson he requested me to undertake its compilation and offered a suitable remuneration. As I did not relish the task he made a similar offer to my old acquaintance David Brewster by whom it was readily undertaken and I can say was executed to the entire satisfaction of his employers. The title-page does not exhibit the name of the author but the dedication bears the signature of Alexander Lawrie and the volume is commonly described as Lawrie's History of Freemasonry. There can be no doubt of the truth of this statement. It has never been unusual for publishers to avail themselves of the labours of literary men and affix their own names to books which they have written by proxy. Besides the familiarity with abstruse learning that this world exhibits although totally irreconcilable with the attainments of the stocking-weaver can readily be assigned to Sir David Brewster the philosopher see Lyon's History of the Lodge of Edinburgh page 55. Lawrie had a son. William Alexander Laurie he had thus for some unknown reason changed the spelling of his name who was for many years the Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Scotland and died in office in 1870 highly esteemed. In 1859 he published a new edition of the History with many additions under the title of The History of Freemasonry and the Grand Lodge of Scotland with chapters on the Knights Templar Knights of Saint John Mark Masonry and the Royal Arch Degree." - See Encyclopedia of Freemasonry .

Mrs Elizabeth Aldworth nee St Leger the only Lady Freemason. She was born in 1693 the fourth child and only daughter of Viscount Doneraile who was himself a keen mason. The story states that Lord Doneraile held Lodge meetings at Doneraile Court from time to time. On one occasion c.1712 some building work had been partially completed whereby two rooms were to be connected by an arch. Lord Doneraile and other masons held a meeting in one of the rooms not realising that Elizabeth was in the other room having fallen asleep whilst reading. The sound of voices awakened her and her curiosity aroused she removed a loose brick in the wall and observed the proceedings. It is reported a staff member discovered her. The members of the lodge under the circumstances felt they had to initiate her. At this time she was a young girl not more than nineteen years of age. She remained an interested member of the order until her death in 1772. Typed letters include: Lady Castleton to Mrs Hanford Flood 20 Oct 1907; 4 letters dated 29 Sept 1911; 12 Oct 1911; 19 Oct 1911 & Nov 11 1911; all from John Day the author to Mis A. H. Flood .
