A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book.

On commencing his undertaking, the Editor intended to have adopted the title of Brother Prestons work, with such additions as English Masonry demands; but as the Illustrations of Masonry has, since the volume was put to press, been reproduced, it was but just to abandon the title originally proposed. To comprehend the entire system of the Institution, a thorough acquaintance with the Volume of the Sacred Law, or Holy Scriptures, and a full appreciation of the Book which contains the treasures of Gods revealed will, are essential. Its aim and end throughout all time has been to iacite men to acts of kindness to their fellows; it recognizes no sect or creed in Crafb Masonry, which is universal, but it requires an acknowledgment of the true and living Grod Most High.
