Free Masonry

""Free Masonry: Its Pretensions Exposed In Faithful Extracts Of Its Standard Authors, With A Review Of Town�������s Speculative Masonry"" is a book written by Henry Dana Ward and published in 1828. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the history, beliefs, and practices of Freemasonry, a secret society that has been the subject of much controversy over the years. Ward uses extracts from the writings of prominent Freemasons to expose the inner workings of the organization, including its rituals, symbols, and doctrines. He argues that Freemasonry is not simply a social club, but a religion that promotes a false sense of morality and a dangerous sense of elitism. The book also includes a review of a work by another author, John Town, who had written a defense of Freemasonry. Ward critiques Town's arguments and provides counterpoints to his claims. Overall, ""Free Masonry: Its Pretensions Exposed In Faithful Extracts Of Its Standard Authors, With A Review Of Town�������s Speculative Masonry"" is a critical examination of Freemasonry that seeks to expose its true nature and warn readers of its potential dangers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
