The Meaning of Masonry (Annotated): Evil Consequences of Schisms and Disputes for Power in Masonry and of Jealousies and Dissensions Between Masonic Rites, 1858

by Albert Pike

A biting lecture read at the request of the Grand Lodge of Louisiana, by Albert Pike in 1858. The lecture was subtitled, "The Evil Consequences of Schisms and Disputes for Power in Masonry, and of Jealousies and Dissensions Between Masonic Rites" and is a fascinating look at Pike's interpretation of the "Masonic wars" of the mid 1800's in Louisiana.

Inspiring reminder of the purpose of Masonry

I chose a 4 rating because of my lack of experience with 19th. century communication. Pike seems to be a genius of the period. This article is informative and inspirational.
