The Devon and Cornwall Masonic Calendar for the year 1867 . Edited by >|< Bro . WILLIAM JAMES HUG-HAN , 18 ° , & c , of Truro , Cornwall . Devonport : Bro . John R . H . Spry . London : Pitman , Paternoster-row . Our esteemed Fellow-Craftsman and collaborator , Bro . Hughan , has just published this third annual issue of his valuable Masonic Calendar for the provinces of Devonshire and Cornwall . Last year we drew our readers' attention to Bro . Hughan's opuscuhim
, and its re-appearance this year in a very improved shape both as regards quality and quantity of the material , proves its vitality and stability ; in fact , it has by this time secured a proper locus standi in Masonic periodical literature . We observed , with much satisfaction , in the course of last year that even Bro . Findel , of the BauMtfe , though diverging from Bro . Hughan ' s <» iews as regards the high degrees , gave the Devon and Cornwall Masonic Calendar due credit for its useful and ornamental
character . This year ' s issue contains a short memoir of Bro . W . D . Moore , D . Prov . G . M . of Devon ; an account of the Royal Freemasons' School for Female Children ; extracts from Masonic journals ; and critiques of Masonic books and periodicals . Amongst the latter we may be permitted to notice Bro . Hughan's opinion of the FBEEMASONS' MAGAZINE AND MASONIC MIEEOE . We are not in the habit of " blowing our own trumpet , " according to the fashion prevalent on the other side of the Atlantic ,
or else we should almost feel tempted to transcribe this critique of our journal . In the body of the Devon and Cornwall Masonic Calendar we find full lists of Masters aud Officers , & c , of all lodges , chapters , and encampments of the two provinces . The enlargement above alluded to consists in the addition of some twenty odd pages of letter-press , and moreover the present issue is printed on tinted instead of white paper , which forms a great improvement . On the whole we think this almanack is got up iu a most creditable style , and hope , in the interest of the Craft , further success will attend Bro . Hughan ' s laudable efforts .
