This is a rare opportunity to obtain the text of two of the most influential Masonic exposures ever to be published. Firstly, 'Masonry Dissected', first published in 1730 by Samuel Prichard. This was the first text that detailed the Hiram Abif legend, and caused the Premier Lodge of England to change its secret passwords due to the revelations within the text. The second book was published in 1760 and was the English Text that arose after a 30 year silence of Freemasonry. From 1730, to 1760 no new Masonic exposures were published, but through this period Masonic ritual developed greatly, and 'The Three Knocks' was the first to show these historic changes. In it text it reveals rituals that begin to resemble those of today. This book contains the ritual texts of both those historic texts, plus supportive notes. Both titles are a must for a student of the development of Masonic ritual.
