"Tis the sunset of life, gives me mystical lore; As coming events cast their shadows before."

"In the middle ages, and in fact, in every age, there have been dabblers in magic; sorcerers and necromancers, who, possessing some of the secrets."

"The object of the author of this book is to show the relation between Freemasonry and the Mysteries of Antiquity. This much, at least, is implied by the title of the book. That there is both a historical and philosophical thread uniting these departments of human thought and action is well known to every intelligent student of Masonry, no less than to all students of Symbolism and Mysticism."

"Ah! Small is the pleasure existence can give When the fear we shall die only proves that we live."

This is a scarce edition of one of the most mystical books of Masonry ever written. Within its pages, you will, of course, find chapters on Freemasonry; however, it delves much deeper than just the secret society. It has passages on Magic, The Secret Doctrine, Metaphysics, and many facets of the esoteric—a hard-to-come-by edition, especially in this condition. I would snag this one before it disappears.
