Sermons . By the Rev . Dr . N . M . Adler . Longmans and Co . On the occasion of his installation into office as chief rabbi of Great Britain , Dr . Adler preached his inaugural sermon at the great synagogue , on the Sth July , 1845 . This discourse has been translated by Dr . Vaneven . It made , as may be well supposed , a very favourable impression on the congregation , aud , in the language of the translator , was at once elegant , powerful , and persuasive . The preacher observed , that he
entered on his office with the following purposes ;—To walk in the ways of God—truly to maintain . His law—to superintend the institutions for education—to watch over the places of worship—and lastly , with a deep hope to make his way into tbe hearts of his flock . The subject matter of his discourse treated on all these points , and doubtless affected his bearers , who for the first time listened to their new pastor . The conclusive prayer to the Father of all is an invocation worthy of the sacred calling of Dr . Adler .
The Golden Remains ofthe Early Masonic Writers . Edited by the Rev . G . Oliver , D . D . Spencer . The first volume of this interesting miscellany has closed appropriately with the republication of the paper by the late Rev . Bro . Daniel Turner , " On the Value of Masonic Secrets ; " the editor ' s notes thereon are as usual explicit and valuable . Dr . Oliver has commenced a new volume , with an introduction ( by himself ) , on the social position of symbolical
Masonry in the eighteenth century . The following quotation from an address by the late Duke of Sussex , gives it additional interest . " I have endeavoured all through my Masonic career to bring into Masonry the great fact , that from the highest to the lowest , all should feel convinced ' that the one could not exist without the other . Every Mason owes respect lo the recognised institutions of society , and the higher his station , the more is required of him . The great power of Masonry is the example—the chain extends from the highest to the lowest , and if one link shall break , the whole is endangered . "
The existing Remains ofthe Ancient Britons within a small district between Lincoln and Sleaford ; in a Letter to Sir Edward Ffrench Bromhead , Bart . By the Rev . G . Oliver , D . D . Spencer . In tracing out the vestiges of antiquity , there must exist a peculiar and intuitive power in the antiquarian , that settles itself down into a kind of grammar , from which emanate those elements that imperceptibly find their way into the minds of othersand thus create a deep feeling
