Freemasons' Quarterly Review.
Norwich Mercury . —The topics of which it treats will be found valuable to the brethren , who are invited in an introductory address to support an undertaking which has for its object the advancement of the interestsof the body , and the disabusing the world , upon a subject which , taking truth , knowledge , ami charity for its basis , deserves respect rather than the prejudice it encounters . Norfolk Chronicle . —We willingly call the attention of the masonic craft in this city and county to its pages . Nor would we decline to say something more , as of ourselves , respecting it , but not being Masons , we can only undertake to express our satisfaction that the opinions of our London con tern porar tes have been so generally favourable to the merits of the work .
Cambridge Chronicle . —Tbe articles in this quarter ' s number we particularly recommend to the notice of the craft , are the editor ' s remarks on the Discipline of Lodges , and Dr . Oliver ' s paper ou " The Uni . versality and Influence of Freemasonry . " The latter paper , ( as also the account of all the Grand Masters from the time of St . Alban , the Martyr ) , is particularly worthy the attention of the uninitiated , who desire to know something about the Order . Cambridge Advertiser . —Tho Freemasons' Quarterly Review contains much interesting aud valuable matter . To the initiated , especially , it presents doubtless a rich treat . There are some learned papers on Freemasonry , some very tolerable poesy , and amusing tales .
Oxford Herald . —It commences with a concise yet well written history of masonry which flourished in thc earliest ages , and has continued improving until the present time . To Masons we most particularly recommend this periodical , as it contains what has lontj- been with them a desideratum , viz . Masonic intelligence from all parts of thc United Kingdom ; to render which thc more complete , the co-operation ofthe fraternity , and more especially of the Masters and Past Masters of all lodges is earnestly solicited by thc editor . Salisbury and Wiltshire Herald . —Among the numerous literary novelties of the present day , not the least singular is the establishment of a periodical for the diffusion of intelligence relating to the " Craft "
, against whom the main objection ofthe prejudiced and illiberal has hitherto been their profound secrecy on all subjects connected with the Order . The object of the present publication , however , appeats to be , rather to afford useful information ( combined with much to amuse ) to the brethren throughout the world , than to satisfy the curious idler , by developing the arcana of the science to vulgar eyes . The conductors of the Review have certainly put it in the power of the Freemasons to possess an organ of communication among themselves , which at the same time embraces the usual miscellanea of a
Magazine . Edinburgh Euening Post . —To masonic readers , the intelligence of the public transactions of the craft , both at home and abroad , will form not tho least attractive portion of the Review ; nor can this department be considered as unworthy the attention also of the general observer . The philanthropist win find matter of pleasure and commendation in the many evidences therein contained of the successful efforts of thc society in ameliorating tbe moral and material condition of man , even without the proper pale of the Order . Glasgow Argus . —This periodical has gained a great circulation in England , and ought to be equally well known among the fraternity in Scotland . Besides able essays on the objects and principles of the
Order , it contains a mass of interesting intelligence relative to the meetings and general transactions of the lodges , which must render it a valuable acquisition to all office-bearers especially . No lodge indeed ought to be without a copy . Dublin Morning liegister . —From the manner in which the Review is conducted , it is well calculated to attain the objects of its projectors , and there can be no doubt that its popularity with the uninitiated will be greatly increased if it affords them similar amusement and entertainment as may be found concentrated in well told talcs . Kilkenny Moderator . —This periodicalas the accredited organ of the masonic body , is by no means
, destitute of value ami attraction in a more extended view . A considerable portion of the merit which has given a high character to the Review , will , of course , be best appreciated by the " fraternity "—on whose support a work expressly undertaken for the advancement of Masonic Science , and which has effected much for the general interests of the Order , throughout thc united kingdom , has so many claims ; but the ' * uninitiated , " too , will find amidst the varied matter presented in the several departments of this highly respectable publication , many sources of amusement and instruction . It abounds , from lime to time , in articles of great research and general ability , as connected with the design and principlcsofan institution which , undoubtedly , ranks amongst the very earliest of Antiquity , The Freemasons '
Quarterly commends itself with peculiar force to the acceptance and protection of the masonic world . Calcutta Englishman . —The Freemasons' Quarterly Review appears to be well got up and well supported ; the ostensible editor is a gentleman well known in the masonic world , who is one of the Grand De . icous for the present year in the Grand Lodge of England , while in that of Scotland he holds higher honors , * the present distinction was , we understand , conferred upon him by His Royal Highness , the most worshipful Grand Master , as a mark of approbation for his exertions in the promotion of masonry by this work .
