Freemasons' Quarterly Review.
Norwich Mercury . —The topics of which it treats will be found valuable to the brethren , who are invited in an introductory address to support an undertaking which has for its object the advancement of the interests ofthe body , and the disabusing the world , upon a subject which , taking truth , knowledge , and charity for its basis , deserves respect rather than the prejudice it encounters . Norfolk Chronicle . —We willingly call tlie attention of the masonic craft in this city and county to its pages . Nor would we decline to say something more , as of ourselves , respecting it , but not being Masons , we can only undertake to express our satisfaction that the opinions of our London contemporaries have iK'en so generally favourable to the merits of the work .
Cambridge Chronicle . —The articles in this quarter ' s number we particularly recommend to the notice of lhe craft , are the editor's remarks on the Discipline of Lodges , and Dr . Oliver ' s paper ou " The Universality and Influence of Freemasonry . " The latter paper , ( as also the account of all the Grand Masters from the time of St . Alban , the Martyr ) , is particularly worthy the attention of the uninitiated , who desire to know so 7 nething about the Order . Cambridge Advertiser . —The Freemasons' Quarterly Review contains much interesting and valuablo matter . To the initiated , especially , it presents doubtless a rich treat There are some learned papers on Freemasonry , some very tolerable poesy , and amusing tales .
Oxford Herald . —It commences with a concise yet well written history of masonry which flourished in tlie earliest ages , and has continued improving until the present time . To Masons we most particularly recommend this periodical , as it contains what has Ion ^ been with them a desideratum , viz . Masonic intelligence from all parts of the United Kingdom ; to render which the more complete , the co-operation of the fraternity , and more especially of the Masters and Past Masters of all lodges is earnestly solicited by the editor . Salisbury and Wiltshire Herald . —Among the numerous literary novelties of the present day , not the least singular is the establishment of a periodical for the diffusion of intelligence relating to the " Craft , "
against whom the main objection ot the prejudiced and illiberal has hitherto been their profound secrecy on all subjects connected with the Order . The object of the present publication , however , appears to be , rather to afford useful information ( combined with much to amuse , ) to the brethren throughout tho world , than to satisfy the curious idler , by developing the arcana of the science to vulgar eyes . The conductors of the Review have certainly put it in the power of the Freemasons to possess au organ of communication among themselves , which at the same time embraces the usual miscellanea of a
Magazine . Edinburgh Evening Post . —To masonic readers , the intelligence of the public transactions of the craft , both at home and abroad , will form not the least attractive portion of the Review ; nor can tins'department be considered as unworthy the attention also of the general observer . TJie philanthropist will find matter of pleasure and commendation in the many evidences th- rein contained of the successful efforts of the society in ameliorating the moral and material condition of man , even without the proper pale of the Order . Glasgow Argus . —This periodical has gained a great circulation in England , and ought to be equally
well known among the fraternity in Scotland . Besides able essays on the objects and principles ofthe Order , it contains a mass of interesting intelligence relative to the meetings and general transactions of the lodges , which must render it a valuable acquisition to all office-bearers especially . No lodge indeed ought to he without a copy . Dublin Morning Register . —From the manner in which the Review is conducted , it H well calculated to attain the objects of its projectors , and there can be no doubt that its popularity with the uninitiated will be greatly increased if it affords them similar amusement and entertainment as may be found concentrated
in well told tales . Kilkenny Moderator . —This periodical , as the accredited organ of the masonic body , is by no means destitute of value and attraction in a more extended view . A considerable portion of the merit which has given a high character to the Review , will , of course , be best appreciated by the fraternity" —on whose support a work expressly undertaken for the advancement of Masonic Science , and which has effected much for the general interests of the Order , throughout the united kingdom , has so many claims ; but the " uninitiated , " too , will find amidst the varied matter presented in the several departments of this highly respectable publication , many sources of amusement and instruction . It abounds ,
from time to time , in articles of great research and general ability , as connected with the design and principles of an institution which , undoubtedly , ranks amongst the very earliest of Antiquity . The Freemasons ' Quarterly commends itself with peculiar force to the acceptance and protection of the masonic world . Calcutta Englishman . —The Freemasons * Quarterly Review appears to he well got up and well supported ; the ostensible editor is a gentleman well known in the masonic world , who is one of the Grand Deacons for the present year in the Grand Lodge of England , while in that of Scotland he holds higher honors ; the present distinction was , we understand , conferred upon him by His Royal Highness , the most worshipful Grand Master , as a mark of approbation fur his exertions in the promotion of masonry by this work .
