For more than two centuries, The Spirit of Masonry has been the essential source for anyone exploring the inner mysteries of the Masonic Fraternity. When it first appeared in 1775, it was hailed as the first work to deal with the religion, purpose, and the deeper significance of Freemasonry; and its popularity among Masonic scholars has never decreased. In thsi fascinating book, author William Hutchinson has discussed several subjects including the orders of Freemasonry, the rites, ceremonies and institutions of the ancients, the nature and furniture of the lodge, the apparel, jewels, and occupations of Masons, the temple of Jerusalem, as well as the secrecy of Masons, charity, and brotherly love. This is the classic study in the history and philosophy of Freemasonry, the oldest fraternal order in the world.
