Overview

Freemasonry arouses perennial fascination. Where does the secretive fraternity come from and what are its aims? What role did it play in the founding of our nation and how does Masonry influence the innermost lives of its members? The twentieth century's great scholar of occult and esoteric ideas Manly P. Hall was a Mason himself and nurtured a lifelong interest in the mythic order, making it the focus of one of his earliest and best-loved books, The Lost Keys of Freemasonry. In this celebrated work, Hall examines the ethical training required of a Freemason, and the character traits a Mason must "build" within himself. Hall's 1923 volume is now reset, redesigned, and made available exclusively in this new edition, along with the author's two further classics on Masonry: This three-in-one volume features the original illustrations of each book, for a total of nearly thirty images, which include re-creations of scenes and rites from Masonry's unusual history. It also includes a new index encompassing all three titles.
