AN OLD CERTIFICATE . To thc Editor of the " Freem ' ason . " Dear Sir and Brother , I have recently become possessed of an old lodge parchment certificate ( a copy of which I enclose , a facsimile as to spelling , pointing , & c ) , issued by ' * Lodge No . 1 , " at Jersey , on the 20 th day of November 1 795 .

, Bro . Wm . James Hughan , to whom I have shown it , considers it is of interest , and by his desire I forward it , for publication if you think proper . . The Iodge referred to as No . 1 , Jersey , was the original No . 98 , Army Lodge , held in Elizabeth Castle , Jersey , warranted by the "Atholl" Grand Lodge in 1762 . Ths

lodge was transferred in 1 S 0 S to Guernsey on payment of £ 21 to Grand Lodge for Charity fund , and has since been known as " Doyle ' s Lodge of Fellowship , " and is now No . 84 . —Yours fraternally , JOHN LANE , I . P . M . 1402 . Torquay , June 21 st .

ERRATA . To thc Editor of thc " Freemason . " Dear Sir and Brother , _ Permit mc to correct three errata of a most provoking kind in my reviews in your last impression of the

Freemason ^ One is " wary "for " manly , " which is most unhappy in Canning's effective lines , the other is " recui " for " rec ' u , " and the third is " sorgesse " for " sagesse . " Some ot these errata are quite unaccountable , and unexplainablc on any known data of type-ical psychology . — Yours fraternally , YOUR REVIEWER .

GRAND LODGE OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA . . To the Editor of the "Freemason . " . Dear Sir and Brother , Apropos of your Iirst leaderette in your issue of 21 st ult ., and more especially in connection with thc concluding sentence thereof , will you allow me to point out that the insinuation is hardly fair to the brethren who initiated

the movement and carried it to successful an issue ? From my own personal knowledge of these brethren , and of the circumstances attendant upon the movement , I can assure you and your readers that nothing but a conviction that the best interests of thc Craft were being served induced them to persevere in the matter . And had they not been assured of the support of nearly all good and true

Masons throughout our colony , they would not have disturbed existing arrangements . As late Secretary of Lodge 505 ( E . C ) , I am able to state that not a dozen active brethren of that lodge have declined to transfer their allegiance to the new Grand Lodge , and further that ¦ the only lodge ( working under

the E . G . ) , which declined to join in the movement , did so on the ground that the W . M . desired permission from the Grand Lodge previous to acknowledging its formal adhesion to the movement . I will onl y add , that the best test of the bonA fides of " the small bod y of agitators " consisted in their resolutel y declining office in the new Grand Lodge , although they had previously held high positions in the -District Grand Lodges . —I am , dear Sir , yours fraternally , A SOUTH AUSTRALIAN MASON . 4 , Hatherly-grove , Bayswater , W . ^ m

A QUERY . To the Editor of the " Freemason . " Dear Sir and Brother , Can any of your readers inform me whether the cost of the very handsome testimonial to a former

distinguished President of the Board of General Purposes , which took the form 6 f the well - executed marble bust by , I believe , Durham , occupying so prominent a position on the grand staircase of Freemasons' Hall , was defrayed by voluntary subscription or by a special vote of Grand Lodge ? —Yours fraternally , ENQUIRER . Julys . .

SIR J . B . MONCKTON'S TESTIMONIAL . To the Editor of the " Freemason . " Dear Sir and Brother , The publicity given in your columns to what was intended as a private communication to some of those only who were believed to be personal friends of Sir John Monckton has elicited such numerous and liberal offers of

subscriptions , that it is only due to his many friends . for it to be stated that it is altogether an error to suppose that our distinguished brother has consented to receive anything in the shape of a testimonial from the general body of the Craft . His services to Freemasonry have already been so fully and so generally recognised , as not to need any further expression of approval . i inenas ot nis

nose , nowever , wno nave enjoyed the privilege of serving with him on the Board of General Purposes , and over which he has presided with such marked ability for , it is believed , a longer period—with perhaps a single exception—than any of his- predecessors , were not unnaturaljy anxious to present him , upon his retirement from the chair , with some slight souvenir of their most agreeable

association ; and it has been a source of gratification to them that Sir John Monckton has had the graciousness to ' express his willingness to accept such a memento . The subscription list , which was at once filled , has for some time been closed ; and it is much to be regretted that a strictly private movement should have afforded an opportunity for public criticism . —I am , yours faithfully and fraternally , A FORMER . MEMBER OF THE BOARD . London , July 2 nd .

Reviews

REVIEWS

THE MAGAZINES . Here are the monthly serials once again , no doubt full of interesting matter , but covering an extent of thought , study , and information , which it is difficult to realize , and harder still to master . At times it would almost seem as if in the overwhelming mass of quarterly , monthly , fortnightly magazines , to say nothing of certain hebdomadal paperswe had little time to take in tlie feast of intellectual

, and xsthetical good things , thus lavishly provided for . all tastes and all ages , much less to assimilate it in our mental and moral digestion , safely and well . Be this as it may , here are the magazines , and therefore to our literary banquet let us proceed with what appetite we may . " The Century " still is Ai , and in our opinion ahead of all its contemporaries . In the present number , ' * Recent Architecture in America , " "Scenes of Hawthorne's

Romances , " "Cruising around Cape Breton , " "A Greek Play at Cambridge , " arc remarkable articles , whether you look at the matter or the illustrations . " Dr . Sevier " is becoming most interesting , and "Lady Barberina " ends . " Her Experiment" being so far rather doubtful , but things may improve . We can also favourably notice

"John Bright , " and most truly "The Story of Myra . " Indeed , we fear the latter is an " ower true tale . " " Harper's Magazine " is a very interesting and striking serial . "The Nile , " " Harrow-on-the-Hill , " - " Summer Resorts of the St . Laurence , " " Approaches to New York , " " Old Hickory , " "The Professional Beauties of the last Century , " all demand and deserve' perusal . " Prince
