Excerpt from The History of Freemasonry, Its Legends and Traditions, Its Chronological History, Vol. 7: The History of the Symbolism of Freemasonry, the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, and the Royal Order of Scotland
The abstruse calculations which accompanied the sciences of geometry and arithmetic are no longer necessary to Freemasonry as an institution purely speculative; and they were accordingly omitted in the revised system, as it was recommended to the notice of the Fraternity by the Grand Lodge in 1 71 7, and we retain only the beau tiful theory of these sciences, with their application to the practice of morality, founded on the power and goodness of T. G. A. O. T. U.
It would be an injustice to our Brethren of the last century to believe that they did not entertain a profound veneration for the principles of the Masonic order. But the customs and habits of the people of England, living in that day, differed materially from our own.

An insightful journey through the origins and symbolism of freemasonry, this book explores the significance of numerology and ancient philosophies within its rituals.
