This book was released on 2015-12-14 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To study the symbolism of Masonry is the only way to investigate its philosophy. This is the portal of its temple, through which alone we can gain access to the sacellum where its aporrheta are concealed. Its philosophy is engaged in the consideration of propositions relating to God and man, to the present and the future life. Its science is the symbolism by which these propositions are presented to the mind. The work now offered to the public is an effort to develop and explain this philosophy and science. It will show that there are in Freemasonry the germs of profound speculation. If it does not interest the learned, it may instruct the ignorant. If so, I shall not regret the labor and research that have been bestowed upon its composition. Albert G. Mackey, M.D. Charleston, S.C., Feb. 22, 1869

Book excerpt: "Freemasonry is a science of symbols, in which, by their proper study, a search is instituted after truth, that truth consisting in the knowledge of the divine and human nature of God and the human Soul." -Albert G. Mackey "Freemasonry is a science. The great principles it unfolds are beautifully clothed in allegories and symbols, and the true student of its sublime doctrines, who will submit to their influences, cannot miss a noble life. Few, however, comparatively, of the fraternity, deeply investigate the internal character of Masonry. They are content with a slight knowledge of the more routine of labor - the beautiful ceremonial of a virtuous craftsman - and pause not to read the sublime truths deeply hidden beneath the drapery of rites and ceremonies. They are content to know that the science they profess teaches the great doctrines of the unity of God and the immortality of the soul, but have little appreciation of the exquisitely beautiful and graduated links in the chain of evidence and demonstration. The book before us is invaluable as a guide and teacher. It unlocks the deep recesses of Masonic mystery, and ably simplifies it's most difficult and obscure symbols. "It contains thirty one chapters, and a very elaborate synoptical index, which greatly enhances the utility and value of the work. While every chapter furnishes evidence of great research and ability, that on the 'symbolism of labor' we consider the gem of the book. It is a beautiful production, and reflects honor upon the writer. The book, of course, commends itself to the brotherhood, but we have no hesitation in recommending it to every household, and to every young man in the land. It is a gallery of ancient pictures whose excellencies grow upon the student with every moment devoted to them." -The XIX Century, Volume 1, 1869 Contents.

If so, I shall not regret the labor and research that have been bestowed upon its composition. Any inquiry into the symbolism and philosophy of Freemasonry must necessarily be preceded by a brief investigation of the origin and history of the institution. Ancient and universal as it is, whence did it arise? What were the accidents connected with its birth? From what kindred or similar association did it spring? Or was it original and autochthonic, independent, in its inception, of any external influences, and unconnected with any other institution?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Albert Mackey was a prolific author about Freemasonry and an American doctor. Mackey's Symbolism of Freemasonry: Its Science, Philosophy, Legends, Myths, and Symbols is one of Mackey's works that has been revised and updated by editor Robert Ingham Clegg. In the book's preface, Clegg outlines that the only way to fully grasp Freemasonry is through careful study of the legends, myths, and symbols of the organization. The purpose of this book is thus to provide the reader with a detailed exploration of Freemasonry through an examination of its important symbols. The book is composed of thirty-two chapters, each of which examines various legends and myths of Freemasonry. Specific topics discussed include the primitive origins of Freemasonry, the symbolism of Solomon's temple, the rite of discalceation, the legends of Freemasonry, the stone of foundation, and many more. The book concludes with a detailed index, making this text useful as a reference guide. Mackey's Symbolism of Freemasonry is intended for a Freemasonry neophyte. The book is designed as an introduction to this sometimes mysterious fraternal organization with medieval roots. The author's approach of examining symbols and legends as a means to understanding Freemasonry is an appropriate choice and will serve to greatly expand the reader's knowledge. The prose is easy to follow, making this nearly 400-page collection a relatively simple read. If you are at all interested in Freemasonry, Mackey's Symbolism of Freemasonry is a great place to start.
