FREEMASONRY
With its ancient rituals, closely guarded secrets, arcane symbols, intriguing regalia and enthralling legends and beliefs, Freemasonry has fascinated people for centuries. Not surprisingly, all this secrecy and cryptic symbolism and ritual has led to myth and misunderstanding and this, coupled with it being only open to men and the widely held belief that it has encouraged favouritism and even corruption, has led to a degree of public mistrust of the Brotherhood. This sumptuously illustrated book paints a comprehensive picture of the organisation from earliest beginnings to today. It draws upon the world's greatest collections of Masonic materials - texts, artworks, objects, regalia, buildings, photos, portraits - a great many of which have never before been published.
