The nineteenth-century writer and Masonic scholar Kenneth R. H.
Mackenzie (1833 86) studied occultism with Frederick Hockley, and
met the famous French occultist Eliphas Levi in 1861. He was also
involved in the foundation of the Hermetic Order of the Golden
Dawn. This extensive encyclopaedia, first published in 1877, is
considered to be a classic Masonic reference work. It includes
detailed information on the symbols, rites, legends, terms, people
and places associated with Freemasonry. Some of the symbols are
illustrated and lists of rankings are given, including a
'traditional' list of Grand Masters of England that includes Sts
Swithin and Dunstan, Alfred the Great, Sir Christopher Wren (twice)
and Charles II. Mackenzie aims in his entries to be critical when
relevant: as he says in the Preface, freemasonry has 'received a
willing tribute' in his book, but he hints at difficulties
encountered in publishing material about a famously secretive
society.
