Being that the writer wrote this book for his lodge brothers in Iowa, his scholastic expertise on freemasonry is shown by his tons of references throughout the book. Much like a lawyer Newton states his case through philosophical, historical, and rhetorical speech. The evidence Newton shows is there to prove that Freemasonry has long existed beyond its conception of 1717.
Throughout the book, to honor and prove the antiquity of the craft in civilization, and the evolution that the craft manifested. Newton perceives this notion with a complexed vivid description of the subject.
From the mystery schools in ancient Egypt and Phoenicia to the great cathedral builders of the Middle Ages, and the great man of science and philosophy, the book takes a masquerade approach. All the faces of freemasonry are portrayed in this short compact survey which will broaden your sense of the great historical and philosophical background freemasonry has endured.
This book is a perfect book for the youngest Freemason brethren who wants to delve a little deeper into how freemasonry came to be and the journey it took to get to its prominent position that it embodies today. Happy travels! /<•>\
