The Freemasons' Quarterly Review.
In the appointments by the Grand Master , the names ot the late President and Vice-President for two past years , have been retired ; and this we may presume to be honourable to them—as an acknowledgment that their services have been appreciated , and that therefore further claims
upon their time would be too severe an exaction . They have both received the thanks of the Board , and some idea may be formed of their regularity by the following statement . The former has been . // ye years on the Board , and has attended forty-two times ; the latter has served for six
years , and g iven seventy-four attendances . We shall not advert to the past , but we shall be pleased to record , on the part of their successors , equal vi g ilance , should the concerns of the Board require the exercise of equal care and attention .
THE APPOINTMENT of the Grand Officers of the year presents , on the whole , a satisfactory view . The Wardens are Lord Worsley and Robert Stewart , Esq ., both members of Parliament . The Chaplains continue , as does the excellent Treasurer , elected by the Grand Lodge . The Grand
Registershi p has been accepted by Brother D . Pollock , P . S . G . W ., a gentleman who , doubtless , possesses all necessary qualification ; and we most sincerely trust that he will find time to carry out those extensive practical improvements , which are so essential , and which his excellent
predecessor had hoped to have accomplished , and in which he had made such good beginning . The Deacons are taken from the Antiquity and Grand Master's Lodges ; the other Brethren continue in office .
THE P ROVINCES have bestirred themselves . New Lodges have been enrolled , and we can ensample the provinces of Herts and Surrey as prospering under their chiefs ; Northampton and others are advancing , it is true , but pleading hard for their provincial authorities .
