Excerpt from Notes and Queries, Vol. 9: A Medium of Intercommunication for Literary Men, General Readers, Etc.; January-June, 1884
In the meagre notice of Sir Francis Barn ham given in Rose's Biographical Dictionary it is stated that he and his father-ia-law Sampson Lennard were, about 1620, nominated members of a proposed academy of literature, to be called the Academy Royal, and to be attached to the Order of the Garter. Of the scheme of this academy something more than Rose tells us may be learnt from two volumes among the Harleian mss. (6103 and where its original projectors explain their intentions at length, but its history has never been written and is very obscure. The object was to establish a brotherhood under royal favour to foster learning and to direct the labours of all writers in humanitie. Between 1617 and 1620 the project obtained much influential support, and Bucking ham and the king freely assented to it. In 1622 James I. Bade Prince Charles take the necessary steps for putting it in practice (cal. State Papers, June 25, but James died before anything was done, and Charles I. Was solicited in vain by Edmund Bolton - who had taken an active part in arranging the preliminary details, and has been credited with the authorship of the Harleian mss.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the emergence of a secret society from its earliest beginnings through to the twentieth century, using letters, diaries, newspaper accounts, and other documentation. The book argues that this secret society has played a crucial role in global affairs over the last four centuries, going back to the Templars in the Middle Ages, and has directed significant people within the society to take actions to enact their plans. The author posits that the society persisted in secrecy due to its desire for global control and the orchestration of events that would assure that outcome, while at the same time concealing its machinations from the public.
