ACADEMY OF SAGES
An order which existed in Sweden in 1770, deriving its origin from one credited with being founded in London by Elias Ashmole, on the doctrines of the New Atlantis of Bacon. A few similar societies were subsequently founded in Russia and France, one especially noted by Thory in his book, Acta Latomorum, as having been established in 1776 by the Mother Lodge of Avignon.
Based on Encyclopedia Of Freemasonry And Its Kindred Sciences by Albert C. Mackey M. D.
