Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)R. A. Gilbert's introduction to this book is quite interesting, and well worth reading by itself. The present book reflects the viewpoint of a man who was interested in the 'lost continents' of Atlantis and Lemuria.
It was said that pursuing an original printing of this book was what brought forth Mark Twain's famous comment concerning the rapid aging of the Masonic Fraternity, 'From both directions.'
That being said, for someone interested in the history of Freemasonry, this book is a worthwhile addition to their library. It is particualrly beneficial that it is now available in an inexpensive edition. The older editions are too costly to be worth purchasing. While it should not be the first Masonic history purchased, it certianly may be used to provide some interesting background material to the Masonic scholar.

The Freemasons have changed the history of the world.Their belief in liberty and equality for all people profoundly affected both the French Revolution and the founding of the United States, as evidenced in part by the symbols on our currency.In The Arcana of Freemasonry, first published in 1915, symbol expert and renowned author Albert Churchward traces and reveals the history of this very secret order.Churchward weaves a tale of Masonry's origins in ancient Egypt and its continuance through history--all told via Masonic symbols and symbolism.From Egyptian history and Mayan belief work through Greek mathematicians, philosophers, and metaphysicians, Churchward traces the development of the most basic symbols of Freemasonry.He also reveals the hidden symbolism found in signs and tools of modern Freemasonry and helps readers find hidden meanings in all areas of life--from art and architecture to geometry and poetry.With current novels and movies leaning heavily on Masonic mysteries as plot devices, readers will be especially interested in the more arcane symbols and the stories they tell.
