A 20‑volume hardback set, 1930(c) Full Complete Set British Masonic Miscellany by George M. Martin, published by The Freemason, 1st Edition, in English, with approximately 2900 pages on Freemasonry and related politics.
Description from the seller
The British Masonic Miscellany is a comprehensive set of 20 books authored by George M. Martin.
These books delve into various facets of Freemasonry within Britain, presenting a collection of articles, essays, and other writings. The topics covered range from the historical development of Freemasonry to its symbolism and philosophical underpinnings.
Freemasonry is often described by its members as “not a secret society, but rather a society with secrets.” These secrets primarily consist of recognition methods such as grips (handshakes), words (similar to modern passwords), and signs (hand gestures) that signify one’s membership. Despite these secrets being exposed numerous times over the years, Freemasons maintain the tradition of secrecy, choosing not to discuss them with outsiders more out of custom than necessity. The gestures are publicly accessible, and it is up to individual masons to memorise and keep them confidential, rather than relying on lodges to prevent their disclosure. This perceived lack of secrecy is evident as many lodges share images and documents of these rituals and gestures on their websites or social media platforms. The secrets serve as a reflection of the history, values, and fraternity of Freemasonry, rather than being an end in themselves.
