MACKEY, best know for his incredibly comprehensive ENCYCLOPOEDIA OF FREEMASONRY): ** "To the Masonic Reader. This attempt, the first one ever made upon and extended scale, to illustrate the principles, by exhibiting the effects of Freemasonry, is respectfully offered to the Craft, wheresoever dispersed. In it I have endeavored to avoid romantic incidents. I have not introduced unnatural or improbable embellishments. But, from a large collection of facts, gathered in my travels through almost every section of the United States, I have prepared, in a plain style, the following sketches. In the preparation of these sketches, I have had three principal ideas in view: First. To introduce nothing of an important nature, but what is literally true. Second. To introduce incidents enough to bear either directly or indirectly upon every section of Masonic obligation and privilege. Third. To introduce the technical language of Masonry, so far as good authority is afforded me, by standard works. *^*^* A VERY RARE 19TH CENTURY CLOTH VOLUME IN VERY SOLID & STILL ATTRACTIVE VINTAGE CONDITION.
