The Scottish natural philosopher and historian of science Sir David
Brewster (1781 1868), best remembered as a friend of Sir Walter
Scott and the inventor of the kaleidoscope, contributed reviews and
articles on a huge variety of subjects to such periodicals as the
Edinburgh Review and Fraser's Magazine. (His Letters on Natural
Magic Addressed to Sir Walter Scott and his two-volume life of
Isaac Newton are also reissued in this series). In this work,
published in 1804, Brewster is determined to refute the allegations
often directed against the Freemasons, as representing 'caverns of
darkness, in which the most detestable schemes have been hatched'.
He does so by tracing the history of the 'peaceful institution' of
Freemasonry from antiquity until the end of the eighteenth century.
He then describes the history of the Grand Lodge of Scotland from
its institution in 1736, basing his account on the records of the
Lodge.
