Publisher's Synopsis
Originally compiled in 1903, this work represents the thoughts, reflections, and ideas concerning Masonic symbolism and philosophy of Dr. James Wilson, a physician and charter Worshipful Master of the first Masonic Lodge in Plano, Texas. It presents a fascinating glimpse into the nature of Freemasonry as practiced in Texas at the end of the 19th century. From the Author: "As the most fertile source of instruction in Freemasonry is to be found - alone - in its Traditions and Mythical Legends, which - symbolically - teach of the origin and design of Ancient Craft Masonry, I have collated from the most authentic authors what every Mason must know before he can have that high appreciation of our ancient and honorable order to which it is entitled, and which alone can make it as intelligent and interesting to him as it was designed and deserves to be."
