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 book is an excellent primer on Theosophy; its origins, some of its major figures, and (most importantly) texts by Theosophists and about Theosophy. Colville ties the society itself in with similar movements such as the Rosicrucians and the work of people like Swedenborg. The secondary references are of great use for those interested in a single work from which they can find additional material and study the concept in more depth. The work has been fully illustrated by Raven Feather Illustrations.
