This incredible compendium of history in the Masons dates back 600 years. Although at first glance, one would assume it only discusses Masonry, which it does, it also delves into a host of other subjects connected with the Masons, which are equally as fascinating. A hard-to-come-by Volume #1 that has been well-preserved and is the original 1st edition. This comprehensive book delves into Freemasonry's mysterious and intriguing world. It offers a detailed exploration of Freemasonry's origins, evolution, and impact over six centuries, unraveling the secrets and shedding light on its historical significance.
The overall condition of this book is excellent despite being well over half a century in the making. The Jacket has some sunning, scratches/typical shelf wear, and handling use. The book beneath the jacket is in incredible condition and looks nearly unread. It's a beautiful book overall.
It is a comprehensive historical account of Freemasonry, tracing its origins and development over six centuries.
