The Freemasons Quarterly Magazine And Review 1850 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Freemasons' Quarterly Review, Vol. 3: 1845 Ive had intended to have entered into many subjects at some length, but the interest excited by the leading articles in our three last numbers has led to the transmission Of so many papers and reports, that we have been obliged, not only to extend the letter-press very considerably, and to encroach on our own space, but also to vary the type from the larger to the smaller size, in order to give room for several papers. Our present leader, therefore, will necessarily be limited accordingly. Shall the Freemasons' Quarterly be Changed to a Monthly Review? The arguments in favour Of such a change, have been warmly advocated by our readers in Edinburgh, Dublin, Oxford, Birmingham, Manchester and other places, but as no plan has been suggested to meet the consequent increased expenses, we must abide the event of the current year, when, if the prospect is sufficiently encouraging, the propriety Of a change shall be duly considered. The Additional Contributions to Grand Lodge - After two years' talking against time, this motion was carried by a considerable majority. There may be some who consider that the provinces should only be amerced in half contributions - but as it is proved that they fully share in the benefit, it is surely but right that they should share equally in the honour. It was a rare circumstance, that for the first time in our recollection it was thought necessary to direct an especial notice to be served on the provinces, notifying the motion, that they might not be taken by surprise. We, who work for the provinces, have a better Opinion Of them than to anticipate their objection to some provision for the widows of Freemasons, and look forward with con fidence to a confirmation of the minutes of the last Grand Lodge.
