I would recommend this book for reading, but only so long as you enjoy reading and are willing to work at it. I would say borrow this book first and then buy it if you like it...

In my opinion there are newer books on the market that hold the same if not more information, that are easier to read and understand.

Good book, not for the faint hearted.

This book looking into the deeper meanings of freemasonry was, to say the least, a little hard going. Saying that though once you got your head around the old english, and long words it did hold some little gems of knowledge and some good ideas.

Of all the books on freemasonry I have read, and I have read many, this is one of the best. The insight and experience of Bro Wilmhurst banishes wild sensationalism from the text, while his rational yet impassioned style has a beauty all of its own.

Only for Masons, if at all!

I am an active Freemason and reguarly read as much on the subject as I can. I must say that this is one of the worst books I have read regarding Freemasonry. I think a lot of it has to do with the time it was published (the last century). Even for a Mason, the reading is slow and dull. Save yourself the time, don't read this one.
