HARRIS, Rev. Thadeus Mason
Title continues: "Collected and Digested From their Old Records, Faithful Traditions, and Lodge Books: For the Use of Lodges. Together with the History and General Regulations of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts. Published in the Year of Light 5798." The "Year of Light" term is frequently used in Masonic procedure to express a year that is 4,000 beyond Anno Domini or The year of Our Lord. Hence 5798 is 1798, the year of publication. Americans will be delighted to find Paul Revere listed as a committee member.
