Description:
The Symbolism of Freemasonry (Illustrated Edition) by Albert G. Mackey Freemasonry is a fraternal organization. Arising from obscure origins (theorized to be anywhere from the time of the building of King Solomon's Temple to the mid-1600s), it now exists in various forms all over the world, and claims millions of members. All of these various forms share moral and metaphysical ideals, which include in most cases a constitutional declaration of belief in a Supreme Being. The fraternity is administratively organized into Grand Lodges (or sometimes Orients) that each govern their own jurisdiction, which consists of subordinate (or constituent) Lodges. Grand Lodges recognize each other through a process of landmarks and regularity. Freemasonry uses the metaphors of operative stonemasons' tools and implements, against the allegorical backdrop of the building of King Solomon's Temple, to convey what is most generally defined as "a system of morality veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols." About the Author: Albert Gallatin Mackey (March 12, 1807 – June 20, 1881) was an American medical doctor, and is best known for his authorship of many books and articles about freemasonry, particularly Masonic Landmarks. He served as Grand Lecturer and Grand Secretary of The Grand Lodge of South Carolina; Secretary General of the Supreme Council of the Ancient and Accepted Rite for the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States. Contents: Preface I. Preliminary. The Origin and Progress of Freemasonry II. The Noachidæ III. The Primitive Freemasonry of Antiquity IV. The Spurious Freemasonry of Antiquity V.

Disseverance of the Operative Element X. The System of Symbolic Instuction XI. The Speculative Science and the Operative Art XII. The Symbolism of Solomon's Temple XIII. The Form of the Lodge XIV.
