OLIVER .—Our readers will perceive, tliat the final arran gements for this interesting subject will be made next month ; preparatory to the spring meeting of the Grand Lodge ot Lincolnshire. T HE OFFICE OF GRAND M ASTEII .—The election will take place on the sixth day of March,' at the next Quarterly Communication. We have received several letters, drawing our attention to articles that have ap- peared in Sunday Tapers, and particularly to one that has been re-copied by a leading Mornin g Journal. The Editor of the latter, no doubt, soon discovered the false position in which the Deputy Grand Master was placed by such, interference. " Sa ve me from my friends J" the noble Brother may well exclaim. When argument is made to yield to sophistry, and simple facts to fancies if not falsehood, leaving honou r, courtesy, and disci pline, altogether out of the question ; plain-dealing is sin e to triumph. We may state, in reply to those who admire the per- fume of the " scandal-flower," that the Pro-Grand and the Deputy Grand Masters were most excellent friends ; and both went home together to Arlington-street , in the carriage of the Marquis. FREEMASONRY IN MALTA .—We received (too late to extract) tho Xenagh Guardian , containing a very excellent address to the It.C. Prelates of Ireland, by a P.O. Freemason , on the subject of the unholy anathema against Freemasonry by the R. C. Bishop of Malta. The address is written in a most becoming spirit, and admirably contrasts truth with f alsehood , moderation with intolerance. Tin: SUMATRA CANVASS;—An amusing paper on this subject was iu type, and also a letter from the P G.L. of Sumatra to its Chief, but both now must " abide their time- " CALCUTTA .—It has been decided that the Testimonial to Dr. Grant shall be desi gned and executed by Bro. W. Evans, of London. THE FREEMASONS - QUARTERLY REVIEW. NEAV SERIES.—DECEMBER, 1843. " I have ever felt it my duty to support and encourage its principles and practice, because it powerfully devclopes all social and benevolent affections ; because it mitigates without, and annihilates within, the virulence of political and theological controversy—because it affords the only neutral ground on which all ranks and classes can meet in perfect equality, and associate without degradation or mortification , whether for purposes of moral instruc- tion or social intercourse."— The EARL OF DURHAM on Freemasonry, 2\st. Jan., 1G34. " This obedience, which must be vigorously observed, does not prevent us, however, from investigating (he inconvenience of laws, which at the time they wore framed may have been political , prudent—nay, even necessary ; but now, from a total change of circumstances and events, may have become unjust, oppressive, and equally useless- * * * * " Justinian declares that he acts contrary to the law who, confining himself to the letter, acts contrary to the spirit and interest of it."—H. R. H. the DUKE OF S USSBX, AprilZl, 1012. Houte of Lords.* THE GRAND LODGE. THE nomination of the Grand Master, at the Quarterly Communication in December, has ahvays occasioned con- siderable interest in the Masonic mind, and usuall y caused the assemblage of a large number of members, and especiall y of Grand Officers. More than common interest was excited at the last Grand Lodge, with reference to tiiis ceremonial, and the attendance, on the whole, was unusuall y numerous ; although there was a comparative paucity of Grand Officers. That the Pro-Grand Master would be firs t in nomination was assumed, as a matter of course ; his long standing in the Craft, the high offices he has so honourably and effi- ciently f illed, and the prominency of his position, rendered his nomination a matter of justice, if not a proof of grati- » THE SUPPLEMENTARY NUMBER WAS PUBLISHED OH TUB ISrti OF HAY LAST, CONTAINING ALL THE INTERESTING PARTICULARS, MASONIC AND OTHERWISE, RELATING TO II.R.ll.

Who more fitting for such a dignity than the noble and most worshipful Brother who had for so many years been associated with the Craft, and who had behaved so well in every previous office ? Who so peculiarly pointed out by associated recollections of his predecessor ? Who less objectionable in any point of view ? And who less deserving of the indirect but undeserved and heavy censure that must have been imp lied, under the peculiar circum- stances of the case, by putting even a more worthy Mason— if such could be found—to say nothing of one of merely equal merit , over his masonically-revered and time- honoured head ? And in conformity with universal expec- tation , (for none could have fancied otherwise,) the Earl of Zetland was nominated in due form, and according to modern usage, by a Past Master in the Craft, undistin- guished by the purple badge. Would that we could here terminate our notice. But we are compelled to add, that this nomination , which, on every account should have been responded to unanimously, was followed by the nomination of the Deputy Grand Master, not by a wearer of the blue but of a purple collar—by the Ii. Worshipful Brother who sat as the Junior Grand Warden. Of the eminent services of the Marquis of Salisbury as a member of the Craft, of the zeal and efficiency of which he has given proof in the performance of every Masonic duty, from the period of his initiation to his latest wearing of the equally honourable and honoured costume of Deputy Grand Master, we are fully sensible. We are amongst his warmest admirers. But as friends not less to the whole fraternity than to his Lordship, we could never desire him to be placed in so false a position as his more personal adherents would appear to wish. Highly as we estimate him, we are at a loss to discover the existence of that preponderance of Masonic merit, which, warranting such an excess of honour in him and through him to the Craft , as, in the case in ouestion , would cause a decided preference to be otherwise than discreditable to his predecessor. And these more individual considerations apart, what could be more impo- litic, as well as unfair, in the members of Grand Lodge, to make such a preference? To our simple notion the best course, indeed the only proper course to be adopted by Grand Lodge, is that of electing the Pro.-Grand Master to the Grand Mastership, and of retaining him in that position for a couple or three years ; then to promote the Deputy Grand Master for a similar period ; and so on, to take the highest officers in turn , that no undue preponderance of power may accumu- late in any single member of the fraternity, however high his rank—however great his talent. We regret very deeply to hear, that on the day succeed- ing the Quarterly Communication , the Marquis of Salis- bury resigned every office in the Craft, that of Deputy Grand Master, Provincial Grand Master of Herts, and even of the membership of private Lodges. His motive for this extraordinary step has not yet been disclosed ; but we doubt not that this will obtain publicity in due time. The Most Honourable and Right Worshipful Brother owes this not less out of respectful and fraternal consideration for the Craft than to himself, as preventing misconception if not misrepresentation. But this retirement, after all, can only be of limited effect. The late Duke of Sussex, as Grand Master ruled, and was responded to by Grand Lodge, that " Once a Grand Officer , ALWAYS a Grand Officer ;" and his nomination is to all intents and purposes as good as if no change had occurred in his Masonic rank.

  • The Canterbury Association
    The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry.

WITH our present number Ave close the Eirst Volume of THE FREEMASONS MAGAZINE for 1861, covering a period of the year always peculiarly interesting the members of the Craft , as it is that in which the Festivals of our Masonic Charities are held, and the neAV Grand Officers appointed. As regards the Charities, Ave need only observe that the appeals to the brethren have, in every instance, been liberally responded to, and that a bright future apj>ears to await all our institutions ; though, from the lingering illness of our respected Bro. Crew, the Secretary of the Girls' School, and the alterations in the management of the Boys' School now in progress, they haAre been partially overshadowed by a dark cloud, which, hoAvever, Ave rejoice to feel has not been Avithout its silver lining ; and, indeed, Ave believe that never had either of the schools a fairer prospect before them. Of the Benevolent Institution for Aged Masons and their Widows, we may observe that its claims to support are becoming more and more understood and appreciated, and the poorer members of the Craft reaping a corresponding benefit , its festival being IIOAV equally popular with that of either of the other institutions, and the subscriptions and donations yearly increasing in amount.

  • Enclosure & Agricultural Improvement in North-West Lincolnshire from Circa 1600 to 1850
    ENCLOSURE & AGRICULTURAL IMPROVEMENT IN NORTH-WEST LINCOLNSHIRE FROM CIRCA 1600 TO 1850. Thomas M. Smith, MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2012 i Abstract This study sets out to establish the link between enclosure and agricultural improvement in a group of parishes in north-west Lindsey, Lincolnshire between the sixteenth century and the mid-nineteenth century. In particular it emphasises the continuity of enclosure history through time, rather than concentrating only on the period of parliamentary enclosure as has often been the case in the past, and on links to agricultural improvement which include land reclamation, draining and warping. It shows that a simple explanation of enclosure in terms of driving up rents and allowing individual farmers to take their own farming decisions, fails to take into account the particular local circumstances of this area. Using a combination of enclosure documents and related material such as glebe terriers, land tax assessments, census materials, the 1801 agricultural returns and estate papers it sets out to show how agricultural improvement transformed both the landscape and the farming techniques in this area. In this process it covers a range of related topics including landownership, population, and the socio-economic structure of the villages of north-west Lindsey. It shows clearly that in this area enclosure is as much as anything associated with land drainage, and with improvements brought about by warping. These processes were interwoven, and separating enclosure out as a single movement underestimates the complexity of the farming arrangements required to ensure the most productive farming in this area.
