munerated by the united exertions and co-operating influence of its numerous members . The personal support of the most exalted Characters in the Society do honour to our endeavours ; but their collateral influence would considerably heighten our obligations to them , and enable us to give a still higher degree of effect to the purposes
which the Work was intended , and ( we think ) is well calculated , to answer . When it was determined to embellish these volumes with Portraits t > f Illustrious Brethren as . FRONTISPIECES , a respectful application was made to the Hall Committee , and from them to the Grand Lodge , for
permission to the Proprietors to copy the Portraits of Grand Masters in Freemasons' Hall . We felt peculiar satisfaction on being informed , that in the Committee very strong sentiments of approbation of our humble endeavours were expressed ; and we had ourselves the pleasure afterwards of witnessing at the Quarterly Communication
the unanimous sanction of the Grand Lodge to the measure . If our previous conduct merited such a sanction , we hope and trust that we have not since forfeited in the smallest degree our title to favour .
We thank with great sincerity our zealous coadjutors JOHN TAYLOR , Esq . of London ; Dr . WATKINS , of the Faithful Lodge at Bideford ; Mr . J . F . STANFIELD and Dr . TIPPING BROWN , of the Phosnix Lodge , Sunderland ; Mr . J . SOMERVILLE , of Edinburgh ; and many others whose contributions though liberal , yet coming
anonymously , we do not feel warranted in speaking of by name . One feature of our Magazine will perhaps not be overlooked ; we allude to the PORTRAITS and BIOGRAPHY of the most eminent BRITISH ARTISTS . Fidelity more than panegyric has been our object in the latter , while accuracy of resemblance has been , we believe , invariably
preserved in the former . They have in every instance been engraved from genuine pictures by the first masters . We take this opportunity of saying , that , for the greater certainty as to accuracy of resemblance , we shall be thankful to artists for the loan of their own paintings . One of the Portraits in the Society ' s Hall in Great Queen Street
will of course decorate our next Number as a Frontispiece to the Fifth Volume ; . and for the following month we have in preparation a very elegant representation of the New Building for the " Royal Cumberland Freemasons' School" in St . George ' s Fields .
