CONSTITUTIONS AND REGULATIONS OF THE MOST WORSHIPFUL GRAND LODGE OF MASONS IN MASSACHUSETTS
The original Constitutions for the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts were compiled by a committee appointed by Most Wor. John Cutler, Grand Master, in April 1792. They are reproduced in the front of Volume II of the Proceedings, covering the years 1792-1815. A revised form of the Grand Constitutions appeared in June 1811, and is reproduced in the same volume of the Proceedings starting on Page II-515. This edition of the Grand Constitutions was prepared by a committee headed by John Dixwell, a future Grand Master, and was the foundation of all future revisions to the Grand Constitutions (made by amendments voted upon by the Grand Lodge and reported in the Proceedings.) At certain intervals the entirety of the Grand Constitutions was reprinted in the Proceedings. Each new full revision is reproduced below, with annotations for intervening amendment and revision.
