Engraving Of The Installation Of H.R.H. The Prince Of Wales.
intended to commemorate . The grouping of the figures on the dais is admirable , while the attitudes of the brethren seated in the foreground of the p icture are very artistically arranged ; the perspective is perfect , and , as we have said already , the general effect leaves nothing to be desired .
To pass now to the various kinds of engravings -which will in due course be issued , we mnst premise that each state or class of impression—according to its money valuemust be finally completed before the next is commenced . Thus , there are five classes or descriptions of impressions ,
namely , ( 1 ) Artist's Proofs , signed by the artist and engraver in autograph pencil . These are the most valuable , and will be bond fide limited to two hundred ' , ( 2 ) Proofs before Letters , or B . L . Proofs . On these the artist's and engraver ' s names are engraved only , with the
publication line , but with no title or dedication . This class will likewise be limited to two hindred . ( 3 ) Lettered Proofs , on which the dedication or title is engraved . ( 4 ) and ( 5 ) Prints , differing only in the quality of the paper on wbich they are printed , that used for No . 4 being , of course , the
more valuable . For these later descriptions of impressions the plate will be cut down , and the paper , & c will be smaller and inferior to that nsed for the superior classes . It is anticipated that these two stages will be completed by the end of the month of April , as the process of printing is
very slow , it being only possible to accomplish ten proofs per day . The first class , or Artist's Proofs are now in course of being issued , and will be forwarded to subscribers in order of priority . The majority of them are beautifully and appropriately framed , and ready for immediate hanging .
Indeed , Bro . Harty has made arrangements for the supply of suitable frames of different qualities and degrees of ornamentation , according to price . We have merely to say , in conclusion , that we have watched the progress of what will certainly be one of the most important historical
engravings in connection with Freemasonry with a great degree of interest . We know how anxiously and unceasingly Bro . Harty has laboured in order to secure success , and we congratulate him most heartily on the very brilliant success he has achieved . We sincerely trust his labours will receive
their due measure of appreciation from the Masonic public . He has raised a lasting memento of one of the most important Masonic events , as it is unquestionably the most interesting , which has occurred this century . Let him now be permitted to reap the reward of his abilit y as well as of all his toil and trouble .

AN AMERICAN MASONIC PILGRIMAGE .
FEOM a Brother in York we learn that some of the members of the Mary Commandery of Knights Templars , Philadelphia , U . S ., are planning a pilgrimage to Europe next July , chiefly for Masonic purposes . Their plan is to leave New York on the 6 fch July , arriving in Glasgow on the 16 th of thafc month . Tho next few days are to be spent in Scotland , in visiting places of interest , such as the line of
Lochs , to Stirling , thence to Edinburgh and Melrose , aud so through to Sheffield , where they expect to arrive on the 23 rd July . The nighfc will be spent amongst the hospitable brethren of Sheffield , who will , we trust , not kill the pilgrims with kindness . On the 24 th , York is to be visited , and the archaiological wonders of that ancient city glanced afc , and the following three days are to be devoted to tho
metropolis . Thence to Paris , and in succession to Brussels , Antwerp , and back to London . On the 12 th August , the wanderers will be in Liverpool , and on tho following day in Dublin , arriving in Londonderry on the 17 th , and on the 18 th August sailing for New York , where tbey hope to arrive on tho 29 th of the same month . There can he no
question about tho energy of our Transatlantic brethren , and in the foregoing programme it must be admitted that they have tased their time and abilities to the utmost . We feel quite sure thafc their reception will be most cordial wherever they go , and that they will take back with them to Philadelphia bright recollections of thoir meetings with their brethren of the mother country .
