In doing this , we are aware that we call upon the brethren to incur a slight additional expenditure— but we feel it will be cheerfully accorded when it is compared with the increased size of the Magazine .
The new arrangement wall take effect from the first week in January ; but in order to comprise the intelligence of this year as closely as possible within the volume , we shall issue another number on the 80 th of December at our present price , when we shall also present our readers with the Index .
That accomplished , we shall , on the first Wednesday in January , publish our first weekly number , which , from that day , will be issued on each Wednesday morning in time for the booksellers' parcels ; the intelligence being brought up to as late a period as is consistent with the care required in the production of a Magazine , which , it is hoped , will be found on the library-shelves of every Mason .
The Magazine in its new form will consist of forty-eight pages the same size as at present , thus completing two volumes in the year , each containing 1 , 248 pages . Our price will be Gd . a number , so that the Brethren will absolutely receive a greater amount of
matter than hitherto , in proportion to the price charged . We shall also , for the convenience of those Brethren who may wish to receive it in that form , publish the Magazine in Monthly Parts , which will contain one-fifth more matter than the old Quarterly Magazine , at twenty per cent , less cost to our subscribers .
We are aware , difficulties will surround us at the commencement of our new undertaking—for so we must to a great extent regard it—but we shall meet them with the determination to overcome them by making every possible improvement in the literary management of the Magazine , and laying before the Brethren a larger share of original articles than we have of late been enabled to do .
Amongst other articles which we propose to publish in the course of next year , will be a series on the principles and illustrations of our Order , most carefully collated , so as to serve as a text-book for Brethren in the country to dilate upon , and render the Magazine a valuable addition to the furniture of every Lodge , or Lodge of Instruction , throughout the United Kingdom . By our new
arrangements , also , the Brethren will always receive reports of the proceedings at Grand Lodge and other Masonic Assemblies within one week of their taking place , thereby rendering the Magazine an epitome of the present day , rather than a history of the past ; and our varied Colonial and other correspondence will be given before the lapse of time has deprived it of much of its value and interest . Other improvements are likewise in contemplation , which wo shall take an opportunity of more particularly alluding to in our next .
