The Symbolism of Freemasonry - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

Written in the late 1800’s, it is still easy enough to read if you have a decent vocabulary.

What is so interesting is that it isn’t just about Freemasonry symbolism, but traces the symbolism back even further to some societies and shows how it could have evolved through history.
