" These , however , having already appeared in our number for December last , - * ' with some general remarks , it is unnecessary to repeat them .
The general nature of the proceedings of this evening presents nothing very remarkable for consistency or example ; there was perhaps a better understanding , and the friends of sound Masonic feeling may find some satisfaction in believing , that their intentions are not altogether unappreciated , however they may lack attention—Est modus in rebus , sunt certi dcniquefines . —( Fide leading article ) .
