…on to the Craft, and the crown of all his labours, so in accord with his family motto, “the end crowns the work!” The data for this book took years to collect, and the result is monumental—an immense array of facts, systematically arranged, which form a valuable reference book. In it he traces the sources of the teaching of the philosophy and rites of the Craft, right back into the night of time—before the Aryan civilization.
