THEOCRATIC PHILOSOPHY OF FREEMASONRY . DEAR SIR AND BROTHER , —Will you favour me with a corner in your widely extended periodical , to communicate my intention of publishing by subscription , a volume on the " Theocratic Philosophy of Freemasonry , " in twelve lectures ; intended to display a connected view of the Science in its SpeculativeOperativeand Spurious divisions
, , ; to trace its progress in the ancient world , until it assumed the I ' orm under which it now appears ; and to prove , that the design of all its illustrations is to promote the glory of that Hoiy Being with whom it originated , in conjunction with the temporal and eternal happiness of man ? It was my original intention , that these lectures should principally embrace a reprint of articles which have appeared in the Reviewon
, the Spurious Freemasonry of Ancient Times . This purpose has , however , been abandoned , as it was conceived that a course of Lectures on the Spurious Freemasonry alone , would be less interesting to the general reader than a comprehensive view of tlic entire subject in all its branches . The articles in this periodical originated the proposed work ; and therefore their spirit , together with many extracts , will be embodied in its pages- The approbation which has been extended to these
articles by the Masonic public , added to the earnest recommendations of a few literary friends , on whose taste and judgment the author places a great reliance , induced him to undertake the task , solely with a view of communicating to the Brethren the conclusions at which he has arrived , after a long and anxious investi gation of the principles of Freemasonry , as connected with pure and primitive reli gion . The volume has been constructed on such a princile as to constitute
p a book of reference worth y tbe attention of the-scientific Mason , as well as ofthe Brother whose talents are more humble and unassuming ; to both , profit and pleasure , it is presumed will mutually result from a careful perusal of its pages . The true essentials of the Order in every age , and amongst every people from the creation of the world , arc
