The ethics and philosophy of Freemasonry depend on monotheistic religions and the ancient constitution of the Freemasons. The constitution describes the rules and rituals that members must follow. Some of the ceremonies incorporate stonemasonry tools, which symbolize not only the construction of Solomon's Temple, but also the forging of partnerships. While masonic practices are cloaked in secrecy, this collection gathers the best-known sources portraying the statutes, laws, symbols, rituals, and customs of Masonic societies.Contents:THE PRINCIPLES OF MASONIC LAWTHE SYMBOLISM OF FREEMASONRYTHE MYSTERIES OF FREE MASONRYMORALS AND DOGMA OF THE ANCIENT AND ACCEPTED SCOTTISH RITE OF FREEMASONRYPROOFS OF A CONSPIRACYWASHINGTON'S MASONIC CORRESPONDENCEMASONIC MONITOR OF THE DEGREES OF ENTERED APPRENTICE
