Review Of Literature, &C.
REVIEW OF LITERATURE , & c .
Elibanls , —The Surgeon ' s Wife , -j-c . By Bro . George Tail . Neill and Sons , Haddington . The readers of the Review have become well acquainted with our author , through many of his interesting tales that have been published in its pages . A considerable portion of the first of the present tales has also appeared ; the continuation will be found interesting . The other is a tale of the heart ; and like all Brother Tail ' s literary efforts , advocates the purest morality with great feeling . This little unpretending volume is very modestly dedicated to James Braitland Balfour , Esq ., M . P .
An Emblematical Tablet on Freemasonry , By Bro . David Rosenberg , of Paris . R . Spencer , 314 , High Holborn . _ Our indefatigable Brother has , in the Tablet before us , given additional ^ proof of his learning and zeal . There is also an advantage to the English Fraternity in having the illustration given in their own language . Brother Rosenberg regrets that the royal art is paralyzed ; that its true teries
mys are disappearing , and existing usages losing their original meaning ; and speculates on the motive-cause for these changes . AVhether he be correct or not in these views , is not our question ; believing they are so himself , he has succeeded in tracing a very valuable Tablet , which contains a synopsis of essential materials , and may be considered as a key to the development of our sacred mysteries . The enthusiastic author deserves the support of the CraftAVe addthat His Royal
. may , Highness the Duke of Sussex has expressed his unqualified approbation of this Tablet ; and , further , that Brother Richard Spencer has undertaken the agency of this , as well as the other works of Brother Rosenberg .
Scripture Extracts , for the use of Royal Arch Masons and Chapters . —This selection of Scriptural Extracts , as directed by the Grand Chapter to be read during the ritual of exaltation , has been printed by Bro . William Povey , of the Domater Chapter , and is bound for the use of Chapters , in a handsome morocco cover , as well as in a packet form for more convenient portability—the charges for each are very moderate . The Romance of the Dreamer , and other Poems . By Joseph Edwards London and
Carpenter . : AV . S . Orr Co ., Paternoster-row . Another poet of nature awaits our greeting ; and without pause or hesitation we say , " right welcome . '" One who died in the year of our nativity—ivould that our shoulders had been worthy of his mantle one whose worth as a minstrel our Brother Carpenter must appreciate , for a stanza from his immortal works forms the motto of the little volume before us—the warm-hearted , fear-nothing , eloquent , ancl irradiate Burns , thus apostrophized a brother poet in the last century—and thus do we apply it to his worthy follower in the e ver-varying realms of lyric poetry : —
" Set out the brunt side o' your shin , For pride in poets is nae sin ; Glory ' s tlie prize for which they rin , An'fame ' s Ihcjo '; An' wha' runs best the prize maun win , An' wherefore no' ? "
