Review Of Literature, The|Drama, &C.
of Masonry!—Alas!—how dwelleth the love of God in us ? If the light which is in its be darkness , how great is that darkness ! " H . R . S . The Pictorial Bible . C . Knight , London , 1836 . —In our ownyouth , nay , in our infancy , we remember while at our beloved mother ' s side , some early lessons of scripture which were given by lips so dear to usand what impression does not the holiness of a mothers love make upon
the heart ? how ineffaceable is that impression—in youth it gives strengthin manhood it engenders reverence—and in age , as a sweet remembrance , it is cheerful ; for the lesson was of love , from her who cherished—to Him who created the child . 'Twas in the early dawn of life we had a history of the bible , illustrated with rudely designed wood cuts , a small book , but it was the cuts which fixed the matter upon our attention ; many and frequent were the
questions asked of our monitress , and to the best of her power they were answered . When we took up a larger book without such illustrations , we were ever at a loss , and as the author had evidently chosen the most appropriate subjects to fix a child's attention , so it was fixed to what it could be made to comprehend—this we consider to be most importantand Mr . Knight has , we are pleased to find , materially improved upon former publicationsbnot onliving descriptive cuts of niany
in-, y y g teresting passages of the " GREAT POEM OP LIPE , " but has interspersed his edition with views , correctly designed—with descriptions of animated objects—the vegetable and mineral kingdoms—which interest the juvenile mind , and serve materially to assist the parent in his remarks . Further comment is needless , let the reader judge for himself .
Evidence of Freemasonry , drawn from the Scriptures . An examination into the mysteries of the Bible , in reference to the order of Freemasonry , is now preparing for the press by our talented Hebrew Brother Nash , whose enthusiastic researches have won for him the attention of many Brethren of learning , and who , therefore , are advocates for the propagation of such truths , as unwearied zeal and a knowledge of the Hebrew language only can prove . In the enquiry after the peculiar will
nature , sacredness , and mystery of Heavenly beauty , it be proposed to abrogate as useless what does not belong to the Craft , and to preserve ivith the greater purity what does not thereto pertain . There are to be reasons given for the exclusion of females from our discipline , notwithstanding it is well believed that women are more pious than men . Brother Nash will enter upon the subject that the Craft , as such , is a gift from God to man , that it existed from the period of creation , that it is clearly revealed in Genesis , and that its spiritual precepts can be illustrated without fear of contradiction ; ive hope in our next to place the work before our readers .
Address to the Knights Templars of Boston , U . S . By C . W . Moore , 1833 . —In this address , the author has evidently been directed by that Masonic spirit ivhich proves him to be an estimable member of the order , and however some may differ with the especial views which Brother Moore entertains , none will question the facts which he adduces . There is about him a " spirit of chivalry" ivhich enlivens thought , there is a pleasing variety in his language ivhich wins attention , and we
are among those who thank him for the steadiness with which he has withstood prejudice , and we hope much from his continued perseverance . In our subsequent numbers we shall quote largely from the address , and trust our readers will not be dissatisfied with us for allowing them ,
