Review Of Literature, &C.
The Historical Landmarks , S ; c . By the Rev . G . Oliver , D . D . — Spencer . This " serial " has progressed to its eighth number , ancl advanced into the 11 th Lecture , embracing the twelve grand points in Masonry . It is embellished with a plan of Jerusalem , from the most approved authorities . AA ' e are astonished at the compendious notes , ivhich show to
what an extent the learned Mason has directed his researches ; he may be well termed the " man of the hour ; " but it may be also observed , that as he has himself created an impetus of Masonic intelligence , so he will not be surprised that a grateful fraternity appreciate his untiring service .
Latomia . J . J . Weber , Leipzig . Nos . VI . and VII . The numbers G and 7 , being those of December , 1843 , and March , 1844 , are now before us . After two years experience we are much pleased to find this publication taking the rank its well written essays are entitled to command ; that it gains strength by age , and as its voice becomes firmer its tones are heard at greater distancesand listened to with attention . AVe hope
, it will continue the course it has taken , ancl disseminate knowledge and instruction , news and amusement , in every part of the world . AA ' e strongly , we might say strictly , recommend its perusal to every Freemason , for the spirit of truth it breathes in all its chapters , and for the great research conspicuous in all its articles . The present numbers contain the usual local gossip , poetry , intelligence , criticism , and extracts from the " Freemasons' Quarterly Review ; " the latter , by the way , are
not acknowledged . The contents are—The Spiritual and Corporeal in Mankind and Freemasonry—Masonic Lig ht and AVorld , being a continuation from the previous number—Respecting a Secret Society'in China—AVhy is Freemasonry prohibited in so many European States?—A Plistory of Freemasonry in Denmark—Account of the Centenary of the Lodge of St .

Object and Life of Masonry—Statistics of Freemasonry in North America—Extracts from Dr . Oliver ' s AVorks , & c . & c . This mere recapitulation of titles of contents will show the variety of matter contributed , and the information to be found by a perusal ; we find every article treated by scholars , gentlemen , and men of taste , and hope their own mental profits will keep pace with the profit their readers must derive from their works .
