History of Freemasonry, Volume 1: the Legends of the Craft

Albert G. MacKey

4.9/5 (19367 ratings)

Description:This is the first volume of the author's monumental 7-volume history of Freemasonry, originally published a century ago. A thoughtfully researched history, it debunks many of the myths that have attached themselves to the "secret" society. No wonder myths abound: As early as 1719, Lodges were burning manuscripts to prevent their falling "into strange hands." Detractors claimed Masonry is a religion, and, indeed, the practice does teach moral and charitable virtues. But over the years the Masons in America have evolved into a more social fraternal organization. The author divides Freemasonry into two periods: the Prehistoric--the period within which no "authentic memorials" exist; and Historic--the period within which authentic memorials exist. This scholarly and thoughtful history, analyzes ancient manuscripts and legends and blankets every facet of Masonry from Druidism and pre-Crusades activities through the famous Leland Manuscript of the mid-1700s, a purported Masonic history which the author says has been exposed as a forgery. A must for anyone interested in the history and philosophy of Freemansonry.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
