Download or read book On the Origin of Free Masonry written by Thomas Paine and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-08 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "On the Origin of Free Masonry" is a work by the famous and popular Thomas Paine. Paine is of course the well-known political activist who played a role in both the French and American revolutions. His most famous works include "Common Sense" and "The American Crisis." This book consists of a short essay intended to introduce the reader to free masonry and the background of the fraternal organization. While there is no evidence that Paine himself was a freemason, he was well known as a religious skeptic, and was particularly critical of Christianity. This version of "On the Origin of Free Masonry" is actually stripped of several passages critiquing Christianity that were included in a later publication of this book. Paine's short essay begins with a brief literature review of other sources that have detailed Freemasonry. From there, the author discusses some of the underlying principles and beliefs of Freemasonry, and goes through a series of questions and answers for the new apprentice. The book concludes with a brief commentary on the need for secrecy amongst the Freemasons. At less than thirty pages, this is a very quick read. Paine is knowledgeable about the subject and has prepared a well-crafted introduction to the society. Indeed, this book does provide a short but detailed synopsis that is appropriate for the layman interested in Freemasonry. Ultimately, "On the Origin of Free Masonry" will be read as much for its historical significance as for its content. The book is both interesting as an introductory guide to Freemasonry and a glimpse into Paine's anti religious beliefs, and is thus recommended reading.

Download or read book The Origins of Freemasonry written by Margaret C. Jacob and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2016-10-18 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can the ancestry of freemasonry really be traced back to the Knights Templar? Is the image of the eye in a triangle on the back of the dollar bill one of its cryptic signs? Is there a conspiracy that stretches through centuries and generations to align this shadow organization and its secret rituals to world governments and religions? Myths persist and abound about the freemasons, Margaret C. Jacob notes. But what are their origins? How has an early modern organization of bricklayers and stonemasons aroused so much public interest? In The Origins of Freemasonry, Jacob throws back the veil from a secret society that turns out not to have been very secret at all. What factors contributed to the extraordinarily rapid spread of freemasonry over the course of the eighteenth century, and why were so many of the era's most influential figures drawn to it? Using material from the archives of leading masonic libraries in Europe, Jacob examines masonic almanacs and pocket diaries to get closer to what living as a freemason might have meant on a daily basis. She explores the persistent connections between masons and nascent democratic movements, as each lodge set up a polity where an individual's standing was meant to be based on merit, rather than on birth or wealth, and she demonstrates, beyond any doubt, how active a role women played in the masonic movement.
