Brother Webb, a printer, got into touch with freemasonry quite early. In 1797 he attracted attention through a book titled "Freemason's Monitor or Illustrations of Masonry". In 1813 he became Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Rhode Island. He is the real founder of the so-called American Ritus which he developed in that form like it is cultivated in America even today. |
