Volume two of a two volume set. (This description is for all volumes.) Mackey knew that very �������few men have the means, time, and the inclination for the purchase of numerous books, and for the close and attentive reading of them...to acquire a knowledge of all matters connected with the science, the philosophy, and the history of his Order.������� It was this thought that suggested to him that he should collect materials for a work which under one cover might help to enlighten his Brethren. This book is so absorbing you could sit and read it from cover to cover. It also serves as a handy reference guide for any Masonic question that may arise.
