merits of the work . It should be observed that this brochure docs not profess to disclose any of the secrets of the Masonic Knights' Templar ; but confines itself to the prayers ancl invocations that are offered up at the respective ceremonies ; and which are equally adapted for private meditation .
The Masonic Mirror , and Symbolic Chart . Sandford . Cleveland , Ohio . Spencer , London . Having committed an error in stating that this very curious ancl interesting Chart was the production of Bro . Bills , we hasten to repair the mistake . Bro . Bills became the purchaser of a large stock , whicli he brought with him to England ; the name of the author is Bro . Sherer . The chart may be had , backed on linen ancl folded in the form of a book , which makes it both portable , ancl convenient for reference .
Rejected Letters . Exposure of " the Tablet , " versus Freemasonry . By a Catholic . J . Cleave . London . As this pamphlet is intended for Roman Catholics , others must make that allowance . AA'e know not whether the industrious author of these excellent Letters has not done better service to his own religious creed by the publication of them , than even to Freemasonry ; for lie

Furthermore , he has been the means of eliciting from the clergy ancl laity of his own faith , the important fact , that even true Roman Catholicity and Freemasonry are not incompatible . The defence of Freemasonry is doubly honourable to the author , from , whose able pen we hope to reap future advantage .
The American Register . L . G . Hoffman , Albany , Neiv York . Our valued contemporary is attaining an altitude of power ; he is supported by the protection of the Grand Lodge of New York , which thereby fosters the industry of the editor by its approbation , directs the mental energy to the advancement of truth and knowledge , and places the journalist in his proper sphere .
