The Freemasons' Quarterly Review.
common personal exertions- —at more than fair individual cost —and at infinitely more than the customary sacrifice ol comfort and of feeling , the late Editor of the Freemasons ' Quarterly Review , tenders the sincere expression of his deepest gratitude to undeviating friends—the unfeigned
enunciation of forgiveness to the ungracious—and the heartfelt declaration of his respect and regard , for that great body of honest and faithful members of the Order , whose practice is based upon the sublime principles of truth , love , and charity—whatever their nation , clime , or creed . And , finally , he entreats for those who succeed him , the universal confidence and protection of the Craft .
We who humbly follow the editorial career of the Worthy and Worshipful Brother to whom Freemasonry is so much indebted , feel that our labour and responsibility will have to be exercised under the disadvantage of immediate comparison ; and that it behoves us , at the outset of our
vocation , to propitiate the friendly and considerate opinions of our readers . It is a high honour , indeed , to be the follower of such a leader , and we will endeavour to deserve it by consecrating every effort , by devoting every energy , to thc chief objects of his and our pursuit—the
extension of Masonic information—the support of our Masonic Charities—and the general prosperity of the Masonic Order . In accomplishing this we will " nothing extenuate nor aught set down in malice ; " nor will we shrink from the most efficient performance of our duty . We will love
all good Masons , and none other ; we will maintain thc absolute omnipotence of Truth ; we will support thc godlike exercise of Charity in its most comprehensive application ; and we will ever be ready to take part in the sacred cause of principle against power .
