Masonry Dissected - Hardcover

by Samuel Prichard (Author)

Masonry Dissected is a book written by Samuel Prichard that provides an in-depth analysis and explanation of the rituals and traditions of Freemasonry. Published in 1730, the book is considered one of the earliest and most comprehensive works on the subject of Freemasonry. The book is divided into several sections, each of which explores a different aspect of Freemasonry. The first section provides an overview of the history and origins of the organization, while the second section delves into the various degrees and ranks that exist within the fraternity. The third section of the book is perhaps the most controversial, as it includes a detailed description of the secret rituals and ceremonies that are performed within the Masonic lodges. Prichard's descriptions of these rituals are highly detailed and provide readers with a rare glimpse into the inner workings of the organization. Overall, Masonry Dissected is an important work for anyone interested in the history and traditions of Freemasonry. While some of the information contained within the book may be considered controversial or even offensive by some, it remains a valuable resource for those seeking to understand this mysterious and secretive organization.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1730 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
