I THINK I have copied it truly. One "the" was capitalized; I actually didn't even notice at first that there are were and's and &'s; but I believe I have put them as they are printed in the book.

But doesn't the last one sound more like Hans Blix than Man Who Would Be King?

13º Royal Arch of Enoch
A little webresearch (actually, I was wondering whether this Enoch might have anything to do with Enoch Root of Cryptonomicon and the Baroque Trilogy) led me to the word desuetude, meaning fallen into disuse. ["L. desuetudo, from desuescere, to grow out of use, disuse; de + suescere to become used or accustomed: cf. F. désuétude," according to ARTFL Project's Webster Dictionary, 1913 Edition]
Do you suppose this could be another example of the linguistic contraction that made "eleëmosynary" into "alms" ?

Patriarch in the original? Yep. Thanks, Keith. It figures I'd miss at least one, in all that. Oh yes--the book also has the degrees (number and symbol) at the right-hand margin. I wasn't about to try that here--this system likes to shove everything as far left as possible.
Enoch--my first thought was the Biblical one; didn't investigate, however.
I thought it was interesting, the lengths they went to to come up with all these. I wonder how far they date back?

All I could find in a quick search on a slow dial-up is the organization's newsletter. It's a pretty dense site; maybe there's something there: http://www.freemasons-freemasonry.com

I'm not ambitious, I'd be content to rise to be a simple Knight of the Eagle & Pelican and Sovereign Prince Rose Croix of Heredom.

Sounds like at regular at the local pub.  As to the [pre] tag--I had the idea that that only works if you're copying something from another screen--and not always even then, for me. I copied the opening post from the book--and not for lack of trying to scan it into my computer, either; just couldn't manage it.

<pre> is just html-ese for preformatted text. [Usually] any extra whitespace [is] stripped out by the browser. The one exception to this rule is the prefromatted text tab <PRE>. Any whitespace that you put into text surrounded by the <PRE> and </PRE> tags is retained in the final output... you can format the text the way you want it to look, and it will be presented that way.
The catch is that preformatted text is usually displayed... in a monospaced font such as Courier.
while the Courier font is just not
the best to be had from the lot
it's still nice to be able
to gin up a table
or create a poem that's hot
[or not]
