✶ SINOPSIS:
Masonry, a world-wide fraternity of millions of picked men closely bound together, has grown to be such a factor in public life that an increasing number are asking "What is it?" What does it stand for?" There is no authorised interpretation of of Freemasonry. The newly initiated brother does not find waiting for him a ready-made Masonic creed, or a ready-made explanation of the ritual - he must figure out Masonry for himself. But to figure Masonry out for one's self is no easy task. It requires that one can see it in its own large perspectives; that one knows the main outlines of history; that one knows it is as it actually is, and what it is doing; and that one knows that is has been understood by its own authentic interpreters and prophets. It is not easy to do this without guidance and help, and it is to give this guidance and help that such a volume as this is written.
