SIR , — I observe among the items of expenditure for the Grand Lodge , a sum of £ 99 16 s . charged for lithographic drawings and plates , of the Jewels & c . that are to be worn , —an amount I consider most reckless and extravagant ; and perceiving in this item a recurrence to a former system of expenditure , without any regard to propriety , I , for one , must enter a protest ( with your permission ) in the Freemasons' Quarterly Review . —As to the probability of the circular
of the Grand Lodge being read by one-tenth part of those to whom it is addressed , there is but little chance ; but this I know , that if you publish my letter , it will not only be read by all the subscribers , but by hundreds of others who are interested in the matter .

Of what use are all tliese plates , which absorb one-third of the profits ? That I am correct in my view of clear profit , may be proved by the fact that no allowance is made to T ylers , or any who endeavour to promote the sale . A BROTHER TYPO .

I admit that the Brother-
