I am indebted to Robert Collis, Andrew Pink and John Wade for their valuable contributions to this volume. I am very grateful to Jan Snoek who thoroughly read and commented upon my volume introduction and headnotes. I wish to thank the following scholars for replying to my specific questions concerning the texts reproduced in this volume: John Acaster, Ric Berman, Claus Oberhauser, Robert Collis, Rebecca Hayes, Margaret Jacob, Lszl Kontler, Reinhard Markner, Christopher Powell, Susan Snell and Jan Snoek. Thanks are also due to Robert Bashford for his assistance in the annotations of the Irish masonic references in the Procession section. I am most grateful to Peter Aitkenhead, an assistant librarian, for checking all the non-identified names contained in this volume in the Grand Lodge membership indices in the Library and Museum of Freemasonry in London. My warm thanks go to Christopher Powell and Edward Kelly who proofread the texts. I thank Aubrey Newman for his comments on the volume introduction and some of the headnotes. I am also grateful to Stewart Gillies, Iris OBrien and Adrian Edwards of the British Library for answering several questions concerning the dating conventions used by different eighteenth-century newspapers. I wish to acknowledge the assistance of John Acaster and Peter Smith in transcribing some rare newspaper articles in Manchester, Leeds and York libraries, which Pickering & Chatto Publishers were unable to source.

I could not have completed the different phases of this project by the deadlines set without the help of my research assistants. I am grateful to va Horvth for her assistance in correcting numerous OCR errors in the texts after they were keyed. Special thanks are due to Tams Tth, Zoltn L. Nmeth and Judit Tth Horvthn for their technical assistance in creating, improving and expanding the database of eighteenth-century, Freemasonry-related British and Irish press resources. Not only did Csaba Maczelka and kos Vzsonyi enter the details of the relevant articles into the database, but they helped me in many demanding and laborious tasks including the compilation and formatting of bibliographies and editorial notes according to the style guide, often during their summer holidays. I am also indebted to Csaba Maczelka for his professional assistance in preparing editorial notes and indicating the cross-references in the first round of proofs.
