Review Of Literature, &C.
Master of the Grand Lodge of Prussia , the true principles of Masonry are explained , and a pointed reference made to those ancient charges as from time immemorial they have been and continue to be observed by the Grand Lodge of England . On the 2 fith of April , in the following year ( I ) , his Royal Highness replied to this memorial , declining , however , to interfere , on the plea that , having been elected according to the statuteshe was bound to preserve them from innovation ; and as those
, statutes precluded the initiation of any but Christians , he could not comply with the request to admit Jews , however laudable such request might appear to him to be . The Grand Master of Prussia in this case is evidently in error , for the Grand Lodge of Berlin , the Royal York ( so named after the late Duke of York ) , was founded on the English system , and consequently the innovations commenced at an after-period .
Our Jewish Brethren , we understand , are much depressed at the present aspect of affairs ; we recommend them to be of good cheer . The days of prejudice are numbered , ancl in the future there is hopeful expectation . May the words o £ HIM who stilled the waves and hushed the tempest , " This do in remembrance of me , " enlighten the Grand Master of Prussia , and prove to the Jewish Brethren that the " DIVINE RKFOBMER , " who submitted , for their sake , to rites and ceremonies , inculcated the importance and necessity of patience to endure , and oi hope to ensure its reward .
The Miseries of Prostitution . By James Beard Talbot . Madden . It may be remembered that on the withdrawal of the Bishop of Exeter ' s bill in relation to this subject , it was considered desirable that further evidence should be adduced , this it is the object of the author to supply . Pie has shown great industry in the collection of a vast number of papers , which have been arranged with so much care as greatly to enhance their value " To the pure all things are pure ; " and
in approaching a subject fraught with such vital importance to the interests of society at large , it has been necessary " to show virtue her own image ; vice , her own deformity .
