The history of the Freemasons is detailed in Clymers' work here- it is an analysis of that same history from a particularly mystic and Rosicrucian perspective, speaking at length on the tale of Hiram Abiff, of the pyramids, and of ancient mystery schools.
It is delivered mainly in the form of numbered sections, which relate to various subtopics, often containing quoted remarks from others exploring the concept.

This "Temple of the Illuminati" book by Reuben Clymer essentially traces the story of Jesus and interprets it in a mystical manner, labeling Jesus an Essene (which is almost certainly true, if we assume the historicity of this figure) and ruminating on his antipathy towards the Sadducees and Pharisees, among other contemporary movements. It then expounds upon both Judeochristian and Eastern topics, and how practices therein can bring one into better spiritual alignment with the same mystical interpretation of Jesus.

This short work by Clymer is a set of two essays. The first section deals with increasing health and longevity (even to the point of immortality) through proper breathing. The second, and perhaps more intriguing section details the Great Pyramid and its rumored usage for priestly initiation rituals, then exhorting Masons and other groups to emulate the basic idea as laid forth.
