Freemasons' Quarterly Review.
Bath Chronicle . —This is a publication entitled not only to the support of the craft , but to the patronage of the literary world in general . It is written with considerable spirit , force , and judgment , and it is well calculated to amuse as well as to instruct . Bath Journal—We have an addition to our periodical literature , and of such talent , as will find with many a welcome reception . Fulfilling the promise of tho title , the editor gives us a copious supply of masonic intelligence ; but renders his book by no means deficient in matters of general interest—political , scientific , literary , ike ,
Bath and Cheltenham Gazette . —Following the example of many large and influential bodies of people , the Freemasons propose to have a magazine of their own , and the present number is the auspicious and promising commencement of the undertaking . Bath Herald . —It is well known that there are many subjects upon which the venerable order of free and accep-ed Masons , with all the solemn and impenetrable secrecy which distinguishes it , can oponly commune . There are many operations , also , with which the whole craft require to be made acquainted , end a medium has at length been adopted by the establishment of this Review , wliich is calculated to effect ihU in the most complete , satisfactory , and entertaining form .
Bath Post . —Though all its articles , even to its tales , have some relation to the royal craft , still that seems to stamp upon them a kind of generic character , not without its value and its interest even did it only serve to distinguish them from the mawkish and stilted and vapid style of writing with which magazines generally are now-a-days so replete . To the initiated we need say little , supposing the work to be , ns it surely deserves to be , in every brother's hands—at least all whohave the means of gratifying a literary taste , or take any interest in the proceedings of their Order , which are here most copiously recorded .
Bristol Gazette . — " The Craft" alone seema to be unrepresented in thegreat wjtenagemot , or parliament of literature . To remedy this defect , " The Freemasons' Quarterly Review " has emerged from darkness to light . As it has but just now fallen into our hands , we have been able only to cast an eye over it , but from what we observe , it will be " a moveable jewel , " and , with a little gavellingt will in a short time become " a perfect Ashler" The brotherhood will understand us .
Bristol Mirror . —We hail wzih great pleasure the appearance of a work which has ions been a desideratum . The clergyman—the lawyer—the doctor—the sailor—the soldier—even the operative , has long been in possession of an exclusive publication , by which , as upon a modern rail-road , there is a quick conveyance of opinion and of knowledge ; In fact , a beneficial interchange of commodities in the several professions and callings .

Somerset Guardian —The different papers are tersely , and some of them forcibly written ; . the poetry is of more than average merit , and the mass of masonic intelligence which the number contains must prove highly interesting and valuable to the crafr .
