Somerset Guardian —The different papers are tersely , and some of them forcibly written ; the poetry is of more than average merit , and the mass of masonic intelligence which the number contains must prove highly interesting and valuable to the craft .
Taunton Courier . — -The " Reports " in this interesting miscellany , from all parts of the masonic world , should be " attended to " by every brother , who , in case of being prevented the happiness of attending to his lodge duty by illness , or being beyond his " cable tow , " may , by perusing this useful publication , find his beneficent spirit sustained , and his enjoyment consequently promoted , by learning the good things which are herein recorded of the very ancient and sublime craft of which he is a member .
West of England Conservative . — -The brethren of the mystic tie may fairly congratulate each other on this publication , which will amply compensate the reader for the anxiety which we know has been felt for its appearance ; a spirit of " virtue and honour" breathes through its highly interesting pages , which abound with masonic intelligence and anecdotes of masonic worth . Brighton Guardian . —Amongst other new publications which have lately come before us , is one bearing the above title , which will doubtless prove highly acceptable to the " brethren of the mystic tie .

Gloucestershire Chronicle . — -That so large and influential a body as that of the Freemasons should have
remained without eiiher organ to develope its principles or medium to communicate generally with its members , must be a matter of surprise and admitted to be a deficiency . Its inconvenience has been felt , and an effort is now made to obviate it in the esiablishmcnt of a Quarterly Review , pledged to its principles and devoted to its interests—but this without a touch or taint of party spirit or private feeling so dissonant to the principles , so opposed to the practice , of enlightened Freemasonry . Gloucester Journal . —This publication supplies a want which has long been felt amongst the " Craft " As an eligible medium of conveying masonic information it will be cordially received ; jind we lu-vc w doubt , therefore , adequately and extensively supported . Nor is its interest entirely confined to the brotherhood , for it contains literary articles of a miscellaneous nature , suitable to the general reader .
