From Moore's Freemason's Monthly, Vol. XVII, No. 1, November 1857, Page 17:

This new Lodge in Boston was regularly constituted and its officers installed by the Grand Lodge of this Commonwealth, at the Masonic Temple, on Thursday evening, Oct. 15th. A Dispensation for this Lodge was granted about a year ago by the then Grand Master, Dr. Winslow Lewis, and W. Bio. Caleb Rand, of this city, (Charlestown,) has been its acting Master. The Lodge assembled in the room of the Grand Lodge, at half-past 5 o'clock. At 6 o'clock, after the usual forms, the Grand Lodge entered the hall and proceeded with the ceremonies of constitution.

The exercises were in order as follows:

  • Prayer by the Chaplain, Rev. E. M. P. Wells;
  • Hymn by the choir;
  • Consecration ceremonies by the M. W. Grand Master, assisted by the Grand Wardens and other officers;
  • Hymn by the choir; installation of officers;
  • Address by the Grand Master;
  • Singing and benediction.

The exercises and ceremonies were performed in a most admirable manner, according to the principles and ancient usages of the fraternity; and the address of the Grand Master was replete with good instruction and excellent counsel, especially addressed to the members of the new Lodge. There were quite a large number of visiting Brethren present, who were interested in the performances of the evening. At the conclusion of these, the officers and members of the Joseph Warren Lodge, with the officers of the Grand Lodge and other guests, partook of an elegant supper at Young's Coffee House. The Master of the new Lodge, Bro. Wm. E. Graves, presided at the tables, a service which he performed in a most happy and excellent manner. Sentiments were given and responded toby a large number of the gentlemen present, all of them abounding in wit and sentiment to a surpassing degree.
