THE FREEMASONS' QUARTERLY REVIEW .
NEW SERIES—MARCH 31 , 1843 .
" I have ever felt it my duty to support and encourage its principles and practice , because it powerfully developes all social and benevolent affections;—because it mitigates without , and annihilates within , the virulence of political and theological controversy—because it affords the only neutral ground on which all ranks and classes can meet in perfect equality , and associate without degradation or mortification , whether for purposes of moral instruction or social intercourse . "—The EARL OF DURHAM on Freemasonry , 21 st Jan . 1834 .
THE Reader may probably inquire , wh y is a new series necessary ? We were content with an old friend , and yet not so very old ; nine years can scarcel y partake of age : perhaps it may be that a New Editor is about to start from
the course of his predecessors , and treat us with a new lesson on consistency . Nothing of the sort , courteous reader ; the same contributors that have for nine years greeted your favour , will , with some added friends , strive to maintain it . Our reasons for a very slig ht addition to
our title are simple , and yet we trust sufficientl y cogent . FIRST . Having kept the promises held out to the Masonic world faithfull y for nine years , during which many eventful changes have taken place , we flatter ourselves that there appears to be a tendency to a general good understanding ,
and therefore consecrate ourselves to the maintenance of peace and good-will , reserving to ourselves both the will and the power to speak out to the first that shall disregard this princi ple . SECONDLY . AS we have concluded all current matter , a New Series cannot commence at a better time . VOL . I . B
