1775 MASONIC Illustrations of Masonry Freemasonry in London Grand Lodges Preston

William Preston was an 18^th-century Scottish freemason known for his involvement in the establishment of a Scottish lodge in London. His masonic influence quickly grew across England from his lectures and numerous organized meetings which expanded the number of members in various lodges throughout London. His lectures had a direct effect on his book ‘Illustrations of Masonry’ which was published throughout the end of the 18^th and early 19^th-centuries.

Notable topics covered in Preston’s book include:

·        The importance of preserving order and decorum in lodges

·        The reasons why secrets of Freemasonry “ought not to be publically exposed”

·        Geometry as the basis for Masonry – the great utility of this science to mankind

·        Operative and speculative masonry

·        Advantages of friendships gained from masonry
