THE FREEMASONS ' QUARTERLY REVIEW .
XEW SERIES—JUNE , 1843 .

" —TACEAKI . OF DURHAM on Freemason t-ii , -2 l . HJan ., 1034 . THE MASONIC INTERREGNUM .
CONCEIVING that so important an event as the demise of the Grand Master of the Order , of an illustrious Chief who had presided over the Freemasons of England for more than a quarter of a century , deserved immediate , especial and most particular notice ; and as , independent
of that circumstance , there was much in the rank and peculiar position of His Royal Highness the late Duke of Sussex , both political and social , as well as in the example set by him as a prince , as a man and as a Mason , to demand more than a partial record in our
pages , we devoted a supplemental number to that purpose , which was published on the 15 th of May . In that number will be found every detail that can interest either the Masonic ov general reader ; and we refer to it now , lest any casual reference to the present number , should
induce a single Brother or friend to suppose that we had neglected any portion of our duty as the annalists of Freemasonry . *
