Description
Excerpt from The History of Free Masonry and the Grand Lodge of Scotland: With Chapters on the Knight Templars, Knights of St. John, Mark Masonry, and R. A. Degree, to Which Is Added an Appendix of Valuable Papers
The Works on this subject which have already been given to the Public are of such a meagre nature as to deter even the most inquisitive from their perusal, and their authors have discredited an Association which they designed to honour, by referring its origin to the creation of the world, and ranking among its Members the most celebrated Monarchs of the East, without any authority from authentic History. It is the object, therefore, of the following Work, to divest the history of Free Masonry of that jargon and mystery in which it has hitherto been enveloped, and substitute a historical, and consequently a reliable, account of the nature, origin, and progress of this ancient and generable Institution.
