Volume 1 of 2. One of the purposes of this series of lectures is to display the true design and tendency of the Order of Freemasonry.

These detractors generally intend to show that Freemasonry's pursuits are inconsistent, frivolous and useless. Another purpose of this work is to rebut such absurd charges and set the record straight.
