PTpHE Proprietor begs to return his sincere thanks for the Patro-Jl nage with which he has hitherto been favoured ; and to say , that he feels himself thereby strongly pledged to exertions that may merit its continuance . Highly honoured as he has been by the general approbation the Work has met with his Brethrenconveyed in the most
examong , plicit manner in the Sanction extended to it by the Grand Lodge , he feels animation and vigour assume the place of hesitation and diffidence , and , giving way to the grateful impulse of public favour , he determines that no efforts shall be wanting on his part to make permanent that favour , and to enlarge still further the circle of its influence .
Of all the exercises either of the head or heart , those will be generally most effective , as most genuine , that are excited by Gratitude and nourished by Hope . Inspired by these sentiments , our Brethren will , it is hoped , find in the present Number proofs of our diligence in cultivating correspondence . The Address of the Freemasons of Quebec to their Royal Grand Master Prince EDWARD
, and his Royal Hig hness ' s Answer , reflect equal credit on the Patriotism and Benevolence of both parties ; and our thanks are due to the respectable Brother by whom they were communicaied to us . Dr . JIEAN - ' Masonic Oration as a Composition does him much honour , and as a chain of true Principles is a just tribute to the-Institution of which it treats .
To our Correspondents , among whom we may be permitted to distinguish the indefatigable Dr . . WATKINS and Mr . STANFIELD , every sentiment of gratitude is due ; their exertions have raised the FKEEMASONS' MAGAZINE to a degree of credit with the Fraternity , that , at so early a period , was scarcely to have been hoped for .
Of the Typograp hical Elegance of the Work many flattering testimonies of approbation have been received by the Proprietor ; and the present Number , with which our Third Volume commences , will perhaps appear in a state of improvement . Last , though not least among the causes of success , may be considered the Graphic Embellishments , which , as Magazine Prints , defy competition . What diligence has enabled him thus to raise , increased exertions shall be made to support , and , favoured with the applause of his Brethren , the Proprietor will earnestly court Genius , and reward Merit .
