Review Of Literature, &C
REVIEW OF LITERATURE , & c
A Sermon , delivered in Christ Church , Nassau , New Providence , Bahamas , 27 th December , 1842 , before the Alasonic Lodges , by the Rev . AA ' m . Strachan , D . D ., Chaplain to the Lodges . " Let Brotherly Love continue . " I Hebrews , xiii . Our Reverend Brother has compiled a Sermon abounding with Alasonic truths , and which we do not doubt impressed his hearers with
all the effect it was well calculated to do . His remarks on the contrasting principles of FEAR and LOVE , as influencing the social principle of philanthropy are admirable ; and the conduct and character of the disinterested Howard are prominently advanced . Justice is done to the principles of Freemasonry , and a too lenient censure passed on those who disgrace it . The fallacy of the order being a means to sedition , is refuted with effective reasoning . An address to the Associate
Companions , to so regulate their public and private conduct with " unsparing vigilance , " is admirably given ; and the concluding portion ofthe sermon , wherein the glorious mission of the Redeemer is apostrophised , is written in that fervid manner which by faith and hope is made to partake of inspiration .
An Oration , delivered before the Grand Lodge of Scotland , in Freemasons' Hall , Edinburgh , on the 8 th Alay , 1843 , on the occasion of the death of II . R . II . the Duke of Sussex , & c . & c , by the Rev . J . Boyle , Acting Grand Chaplain . The sweetness of pious thoughts pervades this excellent address . There is a fervour in the sentiments it conveys , in admonishing the living , which is persuasively done , it panegyrizes the illustrious dead with equal propriety and truth . It has been our melancholy duty to examine many attestations to the worth of the departed Prince , and Bro . Boyle ' s appears to us to be among the most powerful .
The Spirit of Masonry . Hy William Hutchinson , F . A . S . A new edition , with Copious Notes , Critical and Explanatory , by the Rev . George Oliver , D . V ., & c . & c . R . Spencer , London . The pure spirit of Hutchinson would have rejoiced in the probability that in a future age his works should be immortalised in the annals of Alasonry by the powerful pen of its historian , Dr . Oliver . Bro . Hutchinson died set . 82 , on the 17 th April , 1814 , three days after his wife ,
let . 78 . They were both interred in the same grave . Like the learned editor of this the latest publication of his most valuable work , he was an antiquarian , and wrote several books , with many papers to ivhich his name was not prefixed . He was by profession an attorney ; a gentleman of cultivated mind and suavity of manners . AVe think the publisher has been for once remiss in not giving us the portrait of Hutchinson which appeared in a former edition . We love to look on the features of those
who have done honour to Masonry , and lithography renders this comparatively easy . The reader of this new edition of the " Spirit of Alasonry , " will find that Dr . Oliver has done ample justice to the subject ; his notes are both critical and explanatory . Nothing of Hutchinson ' s spirit has been lost ;
