Freemasons' Quarterly Review.
Age . —Kl first sight wo expected to find 5 ° mc mystical writing , interesting to the order alone . We havo been agreeably disappointed . The articles on Freemasonry are so agreeable as to prove equally interesting to the general reader , who will , in this Review , find some well written , if not elegant , tales in prose and "verse . This Quarterly deserves that success which the fraternity ate morally bound to ensure . Belts Messenger— Amongst the many periodicals which are almost daily issuing from the press , we have tn notice a work devoted to Freemasonry * * contains many interesting articles , and we have no doubt will prove an amusing treat to the general reader , as well as to those to whom it is more particularly dediraied . It is our duty to addthat this work is exceedingly well got upand the masonic intelligence of the
, , quarter must be full of interest to the several chapters and brethren of the lodges throughout the kingdom . Neio BcWs Messenger . —Well , there does appear to have been a desideratum in periodical literature , unknown to us before , which the work upon our table promises fully to supply . Why ought not the Free , masons to have a Review of their own ? They are , both in numbers and importance , able to support such a publication , and we are inclined to think that success will crown the exertions of the spirited conductors of this . It contains a great variety of intelligence of interest to every Mason , and some literary articles ot merit .
Cone * Journal . —The Freemasons' Quarterly rivals the most successful periodicals of the day : it is - ntetcstVnjnot onVj to the masonic br otherhood , but also to tho whole reading would , for among its valuable 1 nformation there are literary articles of excellence . Wi-eldi / . Dispatch . —This attempt is worthy the importance and extent of an Order whose general proceedings ai e conducted with such secrecy that little has transpired but their acknowledged union and charitable i egulations . The ivork proposes to treat upon those general principles by which the support of the fraternity over the whole world is to be propitiated , and enters into an examination of Freemasonry from the eat iiest data to the present era . Interesting anecdotes are introduced , and there are several
poetical articles which exhibit a cultivated and superior taste . The intelligent reader , who may not be a JIason , will appreciate the general interest which a perusal of the Review must naturally create ; but the Freemason wL'I gladden at the details of the craft , which are now , for the first time brought to public view . This publication will , if we are not mistaken , make many proselytes to the Order , by removing the prejudices of the sce [ > tie , while it tends to confirm the union of the brethren by an honourable appeal to their understandings .
