He was a baronet in the Jacobite peerage.. Ramsay was associated with Freemasonry from its introduction in France (1725–26).. In 1736 Ramsay pronounced in Paris a public speech which defined the four qualities to become a French Freemason: philanthropy, moral values, secrecy, and empathy for sciences and fine arts. In 1737 Ramsay wrote his Discourse pronounced at the reception of Freemasons by Monsieur de Ramsay, Grand Orator of the Order, in which he connected Freemasonry with the Crusader knights.." - See Wikipedia.
