About this ebook
'Most [Freemasons] have been ordinary men who have attempted to live their lives by the practical lessons of morality, duty and service which they have learned in their lodges.'
- HRH the Duke of Kent
Despite a long and noble ancestry stretching back to 1500 BC, Freemasonry has enjoyed mixed fortunes in recent times. Banned in some places while flourishing in others, the brotherhood has been vilified and applauded in equal measure. This book explores its fascinating history and examines the laudable aims espoused by its founding fathers.
The Freemasons covers:
• The roots of Freemasonry and its spread around most of the world
• The Brotherhood's rites and rituals, its ideals, and virtues
• The influence of Freemasonry on modern notions of democracy and the rights of the individual
