BRETHREN , —The first number of T HE MASONIC E XAMINER is before you . Its title has been deliberately chosen for the purpose of affording , in two words , which cannot be mistaken , a complete

as individuals , but with the ignorance , vanity , and tyranny , of systems . It takes nothing for granted but what can be demonstrated as true . It will abhor deceit and double-dealing . To the good and true brother , however mistaken , THE MASONIC E XAMINER must be welcome ; but to

"the whited sepulchres" of outward peace , whilst their souls rankle with injustice , fraud , violence , and tyranny , it will prove a formidable scourge . In its columns the student will find benefit , the charlatan . T HE MASONIC EXAMINER will

exposure cherish the former and sift the pretensions of the latter . One of the chief designs of THE MASONIC EXAMINER is to assert the rig hts of Pree-Masons against the innovating irit which nowunhappily , seems

sp , _ bent on destroying both the Articles and Constitutions of the Order , and subverting all decency and discipline , for innovations in Free-Masonry are the most efficacious , as well as the most plausible , way of compassing a total abolition of it . Consequently THE

MASONIC E XAMINER , led by contributors of sense , reason , and reflection , will steadily endeavour to be a True Conservator of all the ancient rights , privileges , and immunities , appertaining to brethren of every grade .

key to the object of the publication . Free-Masonry is either truth or falsehood . It cannot rank midway between them , but must be enlisted on the one side or the other . Firmly believing it to be founded on that imperishable basis , THE MASONIC EXAMINER is issued to rescue the Truth in

Free-Masonry from ambitious men who would cover the precious deposit and erect over it a superstructure of tinsel , gew-gaw , fiction , and- absurdity . As its title imports , it is a searcher , an inquirer , whose columns are open to every Masonic Examiner , no matter what his connection with any rite , body , or

Free-Masonry , settled centuries since with sober and mature judgment , now requires no newfangled experiments , which are generally fatal and perniciousand against which—unless they can show
