Excerpt from History of the Edinburgh Royal Arch Chapter No. 1: As Extracted From the Records of Its Minutes, From the Date of Its Foundation in 1778 to the Present Time
The work has been simplified to a'large extent by the complete ness of the Chapter's records, so that the difficulty has been, not what to take notice of, but what to leave alone; and the writer is hopeful that what has been put together in the following pages may prove of general interest.
Care has been taken in making quotations to copy them exactly as they appear in the Minutes, so that the quaintness of past phraseology should be preserved, and in instances where it was difficult to embrace the precise wording, the actual phrasing has so far as possible been adopted, which accounts for some of the paragraphs assuming a composition not of the present day.
In illustrating the Book, the object was kept in view to obtain as many portraits as possible of the earlier officials of prominence. The search for these and following up of clues proved a most interesting occupation, and a pleasing antidote to the pedantic work of the letterpress. It was unfortunately found impossible to secure portraits of all that were desired, but among those produced will be found many of past Masonic interest, and which have not, it is believed, before been published.
