with him commenced the origin and dawn of religious ideas,

" A work such as this is a little world of interest opened
to the serious student of Freemasonry to explore. Dr.
Churchward is well equipped for this great undertaking with

congratulate the author on the accomplishment of so great and
useful a work, and the publisher on the excellent way it is

teen full-page illustrations, and 168 text illustrations, all
artistically executed, indicate the thoroughness with which
Dr. Churchward has done the work, and add enormously to
the value of the book."— Theosophy in Scotland.
