Download or read book A Short Masonic History written by Frederick Armitage and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-12-18 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive history of Masonry is yet be written. This is said with Brother Gould's magnificent work in mind. To that there must already be added the results of later investigations. It will be needed, also, that one of a newer, even radical school, shall seek out some things hidden, shirked or ignored, before the history can be termed complete. One looks with suspicion upon Masonic histories. The bookshelves are lumbered with trash, and the last state of one who reads therein, trustfully and uncritically, is worse than the first. It is therefore with a real pleasure that we note the modest little volume by Brother Frederick Armitage. Gould's great work is for the student, and too many Masons will not give the time necessary, however great the reward. It was needed that a really concise history of the Craft should be prepared, which while giving the proven facts, should not ignore the spirit of Masonry. Brother Armitage has done his work well. The busy Mason can no longer have excuse that he lacks time and opportunity to acquaint himself with at least the main outlines of the story of the institution. As here told it make unusually interesting reading. When a majority of the members of our lodges shall possess themselves of the knowledge thus made easily available, there will accrue great and lasting benefit to the Craft, and the desire for further light in Masonry will follow. We commend this book most emphatically to our readers, as possessing the rare merit of truthfulness, while being concise and reasonable in price. The second volume is takes up the further degrees and rites that have been joined to the body of Masonry. -The American Freemason, Volume 1, Issue 1 [1909]

Download or read book The Genesis of Freemasonry written by David Harrison and published by Lewis Masonic Pub. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a revealing but thoroughly enjoyable journey through the intricate history of English Freemasonry. Historian Dr. David Harrison reconstructs the hidden history of the movement, tracing its roots through a mixture of mediaeval guild societies, alchemy and necromancy. He examines the earliest known Freemasons and their obsessions with Solomon’s Temple, alchemy, and prophecy, to the formation of the Grand Lodge in London, which in turn led to rebellions within the Craft throughout England. Harrison also analyzes the role of French immigrant, Dr Jean Theophilus Desaguliers in the development of English Freemasonry, focusing on his involvement with the formation of the mysterious modern Masonic ritual. All Freemasons and more general readers will find much of interest in this fascinating exploration of the very beginnings of Freemasonry, still one of the most mysterious brotherhoods in the world.
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.
