Volume 1 of 2. (This description is for all volumes.) A Liberal Masonic Education that Every Mason Should Have. Compiled from the Writings of Albert G. Mackey and Many Other Eminent Authorities. Revised and Enlarged. This is a rare book and highly sought after by the serious Masonic student. �������The average Mason, after taking his degrees in Masonry, immediately asks himself what it all means. Few Masons have, or will take, the time to make an exhaustive study of Masonry. It is to this class of busy Masons this work will make an especial appeal. We have culled from the writings of many eminent Masonic scholars the �������meat' of the subject, and present it in such form that the busy Mason can get what he wants without the necessity of extensive reading or study. No Mason can acquire in a few days or months, or even years, all there is in Masonry. Everything in Masonry has a beautiful meaning if rightly understood, and everything done in the ritual work is meant to teach a distinct moral lesson. Masonry would die out in five years if it had to depend upon about 85% of the membership. It is the small minority�������the really interested Masons�������who have kept and are keeping the order alive today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
