The Origin of Freemasonry and Knights Templar,1907–2023:
Illustrated.This facsimile of the original print is believed to be of
importance and preserved for generations to come. This book has been
sourced from the public domain for all to enjoy once again!PREFACE
In preparing this work it has been my chief aim to give to the Masonic
reader a brief, concise and interesting documentary compilation of the
origin of Freemasonry and Knights Templar. The authorities consulted
have been those of the world's best historians and Masonic writers. In
this brief history all historical facts, chronological dates, and
documentary evidence have been taken from such works as Ridpath's
History of the World, Joseph Francis Michaud's History of the Crusades,
English and American Encyclopedias, Biblical History, Masonic
Ecyclopedias by Albert G. Mackey, M. D., Robert Macoy, 33, and George
Oliver, D. D., with many other works of renown, and arranged in such
form as to give to the reader the greatest amount of information in the
least space, saving many hours of necessary labor in the research of a
large number of volumes of dry and uninteresting reading, obtaining in
the end only such results as one will find within this little volume.
From my early experience in Masonic life, I learned that the charachter
of the institution was elevated in every one's opinion just in
proportion to the amount of knowledge that he had acquired of its
symbolism, philosophy and history. But that few men have the time,
patience or inclination to give the close and attentive reading of the
greater Masonic works to acquire the knowledge that every Mason should
possess. In view of this fact, and a strong desire on my part to acquire
more light in Masonry, I was induced some twenty years ago to commence
the compilation of. this concise and interesting story of Freemasonry
and Knights Templar. The years of toil that I have devoted to it have
been a work of love, and in placing it before the Craft, it is with the
hope of the further enlightenment and betterment of mankind. Masonry
being so interwoven with the early history of the world, I have added a
Supplemental Encyclopedia, in which may be found brief accounts of many
ancient countries and cities, together with short sketches of the life
of the early tribes and of the ancient characters connected with Masonic
history. If the reader will carefully note all references, a much better
understanding of the general subjects will be had. All Biblical
chronological data will be found according to the computation of
Archbishop Usher. The illustrations in this volume are taken from
Ridpath's History of the World, and are used by courtesy of the Jones
