The Arcana of Freemasonry (1915) - The Masonic Trowel

Opinions of the Press— continued.
"A most interesting, erudite, and exhaustive work. The
occultist, mystic, and student of symbolism, no less than the
Freemason, or the archaeologist and ethnologist, may revel in
its pages for days together." — Occult Review.
" The large and handsome volume before us attracts at first
sight. As a piece of book-making it pleases the eye and
the taste of the bibliophile. Typography is all that can be
desired, and the colour-plates from the Egyptian originals are
splendidly worked. The book promises much, and that
promise is amply fulfilled in information provided. The work
is essentially one for Freemasons. It is a monument of skill
and industry in a peculiarly difficult line of research. It is a
book to read slowly and with care. The author has made
that reading a pleasure by felicitous use of words and clarity
of style."—American Mason.
" Dr. Churchward has given "us in this handsome volume
the results of immense and prolonged labour. Briefly
he has
searched through the symbolism of nations and tribes, living
and dead, and has traced through the whole of it a likeness
which points to a common origin. The book is profoundly
interesting, especially to Freemasons. It is well printed and
lavishly illustrated, and should be placed in every library,
especially in those attached to Lodges." — Theosophist.
" Dr. Churchward has brought together
an enormous
amount of useful and— to the Mason of all — degrees profoundly
interesting material. The numerous illustrations with
which the book abounds, and the author's suggestive comments
upon them, cannot fail to impress the Masonic student,
who will appreciate points which, of necessity, the author has
had to handle guardedly in a book written for the profane.
We think that every serious Mason ought to read and, if
possible, possess the book for his Masonic library."— T. P.'s
