1930(c) 15 Books of British Masonic Miscellany Set 1-5, 9-10, 12-15, 17-20 The British Masonic Miscellany-set of 20 books written by George M. Martin that explores various aspects of Freemasonry in Britain. The books are a compilation of articles, essays, and other writings that cover a wide range of topics related to the history, symbolism, and philosophy of Freemasonry. Freemasons often say that they "are not a secret society, but rather a society with secrets". The secrets of Freemasonry are the various modes of recognition – grips (handshakes), words (akin to modern passwords), and signs (hand gestures) that indicate one is a Freemason. While these and the rest of masonic ritual have all been exposed multiple times through the years, Freemasons continue to act as if they were secret, and promise not to discuss them with outsiders more out of tradition than a need for actual secrecy. Indeed, as all of these gestures are readily available for the public to find, the responsibility is on individual masons to memorise and not disclose these secrets, and not necessarily for lodges to prevent their “leakage”. Such is the de facto lack of secrecy that lodges frequently post pictures and documents showing these rituals and gestures on their websites or social media accounts. The secrets are not an end in themselves, but rather a reflection of history, values, and fraternity.
