Synopsis

The Origin and Objects of Ancient Freemasonry: Its Introduction into the United States, and Legitimacy among Colored Men is a historical text written by Martin Robison Delany in 1853. The book provides an in-depth exploration of the origins and purpose of Freemasonry, a fraternal organization that has existed for centuries. Delany delves into the history of Freemasonry, tracing its roots back to ancient Egyptian and Greek societies, and explores how it was introduced into the United States. He also examines the legitimacy of Freemasonry among African American men, arguing that it is a valuable institution for the advancement of the Black community. The book provides a unique perspective on Freemasonry and its role in American society during the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur

My prime object in republishing this sketch of freemasonry, written by Martin R. Delany, M.D., a half century ago, (prior to my birth), is not a mercenary one. Though, as I have attempted it, (at the suggestion of an old family acquaintance, the owner of an original copy, which, on a visit at my old home in Ohio,) I hope to realize some pecuniary compensation therefrom. The friend referred to, with others, heartily endorsed the undertaking, believing it will be beneficial and inspiring to those who may read it.
