Again, the connection of Philalethes with John Frederick Helvetius is based on speculation only, and that of Ashmole with the institution of symbolical Masonry has never been more than hypothesis, and not very deserving at that.

I regret to add that, on the authority of her bogus documents, Miss Vaughan has given currency to a rumour that the founder of the Ashmolean Museum poisoned his first wife.

She deserves the most severe reprobation for having failed to test her materials before she made public this foul slander.

Furthermore, in that portion of her materials which is concerned with her family history, she is not above tampering with the sense of printed books.

The worshippers of Lucifer are represented as invariably terming their divinity the "good God"-- _Dieu bon_,--or our God--_notre Dieu_--to distinguish him from the God of the Adonaites, and the references made to the Deity by Philalethes in the "Open Entrance" she falsely translates by these Luciferian equivalents, thus creating an impression in the minds of the ignorant that he is not speaking of the true Divinity.
