Lodge of the Nine Muses 175

The above statement applied to the original edition but is of course no
longer appropriate. Instead of heavier type the symbol # is inserted to indicate
the then members. In a like manner the symbol ‡ indicates a member at the
time of this edition which corresponds to the most recent entry at the end of
Appendix A.
To celebrate the link with the Chapter of St. James, founded in 1788, those
who joined that Chapter have – SJ - together with the date they became
members, inserted within their entry.
The address of past members when they joined has been added to the
list where known so as to conform to the previous style. People are much
more mobile than previously, some travelling from a considerable distance to
meetings, so this information today has less significance. Indeed many moved,
some several times, since they joined. Addresses of current members may be
obtained from the Lodge List.
Likewise there is now more mobility in career choice and in this instance it
is the most recent or most significant that is listed.
