In the year 1859, the Sovereign Grand Commander of the Supreme Council for the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States, Albert Pike, prepared, and gave to Bro? Robert Macoy, who published it on his own account, an edition of the Grand Constitutions of 1762, and the Statutes, Institutes and Regulations of the Rite of Perfection subsequent thereto, and of the Latin Grand Constitutions of 1786, and the Statutes of the Supreme Council for the Southern Jurisdiction. In this work, these, with additions, are published by that Supreme Council.

Thory, (Acta Latomorum, i. 79,) says: "1762, 21 September. - Committees from the Council of Emperors of the East and West at Paris, and the Council of Princes of the Royal Secret, framed, at Bordeaux, the Regulations of the Masonry of Perfection, in thirty-five Articles, and fixed the degrees administered by the Council." All the other French writers of Masonic History state the same, with little or no additional information.
