This is an amazing book, and I would highly recomend it to any one interested in the history freemasonry and secret societies. It also covers the social history of the 18th century in England, and looks into the influences of freemasonry; magic, alchemy, necromancy, and looks at historical freemasons such as Christopher Wren, Elias Ashmole and Jean Desaguliers. It easy and enjoyable to read, and unlike some books on the history of freemasonry, it uses proper documents and source material and is all fully referenced. Its got some nice pictures in it as well!
