Synopsis
Excerpt from The Early History of the Lodge De Goede Hoop, 1772-1781
As the petition is unusual in form, and contains the earliest record of a masonic meeting in South Africa, it is considered worthy of repro duction in full. (see appendix B.) There is no record of any formal constitution or consecration of the Lodge, or of the installation of the Master, and as in the following years there seems to have been no ceremony of installation, but the Master and Officers apparently assumed office immediately they were elected, we may fairly conclude that they did so in the first instance, and that the Lodge was considered duly founded on zud May, 1772.
