There are also two illustrative engravings in the work , viz ., —TIME ( an allegory ) is in a state of anarchy , endeavouring to destroy , through prejudice , what it would seem it had not moral thought to understand—and even Religion is endangered ; but the Genius of Masonry preserves the triangle , and points to the magnificent structure of Cologne , as the place where she will deposit the sacred trust .
In the other ( the second engraving , ) the year 1835 is commemorated by TIME IMPROVED , contemplating a pyramid which is illuminated by the sacred lamp ; ancl the Genius of Masonry is pointing out the various Charitable Institutions , the names of which are engraven thereon , they amount to twenty , whereof nine have been originated ancl supported by the Craft !

We are truly gratified in having this opportunity of proving the existence , for upwards of three centuries , of the regularity and Masonic discipline in Holland , and hope that its practice there and elsewhere will continue to unfold blessings , and ensure the happiness of mankind . The Book and the Medal should , if possible , be procured , and preserved among the archives of the Order ; perhaps the esteemed Brother who has taken an active interest in these matters will look to it , we would rather encourage-than check him in this course . The Library and Museum would receive a valuable acquisition . FIDUS .
