Jeremy L. Cross, born in New Hampshire in 1783, was an eminent
Masonic scholar and lecturer who studied directly under Thomas
Smith Webb and played a significant role in disseminating Webb's
adaptation of William Preston's work throughout all Masonic
jurisdictions in the United States. His True Masonic Chart or
Hieroglyphic Monitor is perhaps the best representation of that
work, in that it contains elaborate illustrations specifically
developed to accompany Webb's lectures. Apart from providing the
foundation for the engravings in Masonic monitors in the centuries
that followed, Cross invented a number of composite symbols still
utilized in Masonic lectures today, perhaps the most significant
being the broken column and weeping virgin that appear on the
cover.
