General Matters.
such fortunately be the case , the Provincial Grand Master of Bengal may be enabled to retrace his steps , and the brethren who have felt aggrieved may be restored to peace and happiness . The accounts from Calcutta will be perused with regret ; but , hopeful of a change for the better , we for the present abstain from further remarks .
Ourselves.
OURSELVES .
We this day conclude fourteen years of masonic labour as Journalists —during which period we have energetically maintained our opinions , and investigated the general objects of Freemasonry . Rivals we have had , that , one after the other , came like shadows and so departed ; one only remains—that one is edited by the Grand Master himself . We have been denounced as deserving of scorn and contemptbeing anonymous
, writers that stab in the dark ; we shall not otherwise notice this jeu d ' esprit , than to say , while we continue our vocation we will not insult the spirit of intelligence that we have evoked in others , nor will we play the " cowan" ourselves . We have just used the words " while we continue our vocation , " and we used them advisedlyfor who shall claim immunity from sickness or
, the infirmity of age ? Some of our leading contributors are thus circumstanced , and more than one contemplate retirement from the active scene , while they may be yet hopeful to enjoy a short calling off from "labour to refreshment" at home—Home ! how sweet to all , and , if
possible , how sweeter still to the honest Mason , who can in the solace of his bosom friend find relief from the cares even of Freemasonry . However , it is satisfactory to state , that the present number winds up ] all current matter , and concludes all original papers . Thus far then we are not in , but out of , debt—unless , indeed , on the great account of gratitude to our friends who have so generously contributed
as well as to those who in perusing their various articles have expressed themselves in a manner that has given a precious value to all who have laboured truly in our masonic vineyard . Should , however , health permit , it is purposed to add the following new features to the " Freemasons' Quarterly Review , " and by new contributors : —
A Gallery of Masonic Characters , taken from the life , by one of themselves—who , having kept company with the originals for many years , feels competent to record in the " Review" merit in the foreground , and its opposite as gently shaded as circumstances may permit . Masonic Illustrations , from Greek and Roman Authors , and the like from English Authors , past and present .
