out that it is their un & ompromising supporter , and it is realizing fresh support from all sides daily . Broadwindsor — " S . C . M . "—We rejoice that you are pleased with our criticism on your work : its learning and accuracy deserve all we said about it ; but we especially rejoice in having at hand the services of a reviewer who can do justice to such a production .

Dudley . — "W . Wigginton . "—England ' s " want , " like her " hope / 5 must he deferred for the present . We thank you for both your communications ; let us hear often , and believe us sincerely grateful for your efforts to make the tavernkeepers alive to obtaining our notice and extending our usefulness by taking our Magazine . We will look out about the banquets . Bradford . — "T . W . "—Press of matter prevented our writing earlier , but you shall hear from us speedily j meanwhile please to forward the Brench and German papers as soon as possible . " I . G . P . "—The letter on Junius requires much deliberation , but your statement is certainly in favour of its authenticity .

Doncaster . — " G . B . —The paper came safely to hand , and you will perceive we have inserted the intelligence to which you refer . We are glad to say that the Lodges are now stirring up " to more activity , through their secretaries , in sending information of their proceedings . We wish they were all as diligent as yourself .

Oxford . — "T . S . S . —Your papers have been received , and shall he inserted , if possible , next number . We congratulate you on the M . A , " Oxoniensis . "—We are given to understand that a petition signed by more than 130 Brethren of your Province has been addressed to the Grand Master , about the injustice done to Bro . Blake * All we know is , that the whole Craft lies under a ban until he is reinstated , which , we are credibly informed , he long since would have been , if private pique against an active Brother in Oxford , who is

supposed to interest himself in Bro . Blake's restoration , had not prevailed to perpetuate the injustice . But the whole thing is bad , and you will have neither discrimination nor business at Grand Lodge until two out of the leading officers of the Craft there , take up their hats and walk off . As to the Grand Secretary ' s Office , it is worse than the stone of Sisyphus to every improver , and if you get it to " move on " an inch , it is sure to fall back upon you lower and heavier than before , in the density of its incompetency and the accumulation of its obstructions . No matter—vivat Toadyism ! " Thirty good Men and true . "—Your question evidently refers to a different

regulation than the one now adopted . That you may know the whole system of the science , we have caused a very important volume on the subject to be forwarded to T . W . for your use .

" Senex . "—You are quite welcome ; we happened to have influence in that quarter , and are convinced that it could not be better exerted . If you attend to the directions given in our private communication , you will succeed twice as fast as by any other way . " Castellan . "—It is not against the Book of Constitutions ; and in Madrid , where the risk of detection is great , it is done repeatedly .

Latjnceston . —" ORBis " and " John of Groat . " —You both make the same error . In travelling abroad , try the plan mentioned in your second note : we have shown that the other must , in many cases , be impracticable . We will give you a capital introduction to Paris , if you require any information there upon the point . " F . B . "—We shall be obliged by your address being communicated .
