THE difficulties of commencing any new publication , though not insuperable , are of such a nature as to call for apology on the one hand , and sympathy and consideration on the other . For the one , we feel confident we may throw ourselves unreservedl y upon the Masonic Fraternity ; for the other , we must beg to be allowed to say a few words , because , ive cannot but fear that our
