The Principles of Masonic Law

The Principles of Masonic Law by Albert Mackey is about the philosophy used in the Masonic order. Excerpt: "In presenting to the fraternity a work on the Principles of Masonic Law, it is due to those for whom it is intended, that something should be said of the design with which it has been written, and of the plan on which it has been composed. It is not pretended to present to the craft an encyclopedia of jurisprudence, in which every question that can arise, in the transactions of a Lodge, is decided with an especial reference to its particular circumstances."
