LATE EDITORIAL ANNOUNCEMENT .
" WE who humbly follow the editorial career of the Worthy aval Worshipful Brother to whom Freemasonry is so much indebted , feel that our labour and responsibility will have to be exercised under the disadvantage of immediate comparison ; and that it behoves us , at the outset of our vocation , to propitiate the friendly and considerate opinions of our readers . It is a high honour , indeed , to be the follower of such
a leader , and we will endeavour to deserve it by consecrating every effort , by devoting every energy , to the chief objects of his and our pursuit—the extension of Masonic information—the support of our Masonic Charities—and the general prosperity of the Masonic Order . In accomplishing this we will " nothing extenuate nor aught set down in malice ; " nor will we shrink from the most efficient performance of our
duty . "We will love all good Masons , ancl none other ; we will maintain the absolute omnipotence of Truth ; we will support the god-like exercise of Charity in its most comprehensive application ; and we will ever be ready to take part in the sacred cause of principle against power .
" Our kind readers , however , must not judge our future efforts by this specimen of the Freemasons' Quarterly Review . With brief time , for either choice or arrangement , we have deemed it best to alter as little as possible the tone of this , the concluding number of the seventh volume ; and rather to let current subjects conclude in the spirit of their commencement , than to emasculate them in their completion . With the
new year we shall put forth our strength , and , we trust , evince some improvement in the original design , untrammelled by previous arrangements . Until then , let our task be considered more mechanical than mental—more the province of compilation than the exercise of editorial judgment ; and we conclude these incidental observations in the words of our excellent predecessor : — ' Let the hope be warmly cherishedthat
, those Masonic proceedings wliich involve the government , and not the mysteries of the Fraternity , may be so conducted , in future , as to bear the most searching light , and even to challenge examination . '"—Freemasons' Quarterly Review , December 31 , 1840 .
