Provincial Grand Lodge
The Provincial Grand Lodge of Upper Canada was formed at the request of Alexander Wilson, by the Grand Lodge of England in 1792. Its first Provincial Grand Master was William Jarvis. However, unlike HRH Prince Edward, the P.G.M. for the Provincial Grand Lodge of Lower Canada, William Jarvis was not endowed by the G.L.E. with the power to grant warrants for new lodges.

Famous quotes containing the words provincial, grand and/or lodge:
“With respect to a true culture and manhood, we are essentially provincial still, not metropolitan,—mere Jonathans. We are provincial, because we do not find at home our standards; because we do not worship truth, but the reflection of truth; because we are warped and narrowed by an exclusive devotion to trade and commerce and manufacturers and agriculture and the like, which are but means, and not the end.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The grand principles of virtue and honor, however they may be distorted by arbitrary codes, are the same the world over: and where these principles are concerned, the right or wrong of any action appears the same to the uncultivated as to the enlightened mind.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Any language is necessarily a finite system applied with different degrees of creativity to an infinite variety of situations, and most of the words and phrases we use are “prefabricated” in the sense that we don’t coin new ones every time we speak.”
—David Lodge (b. 1935)
