Outstanding reference on British Freemasonry

The first edition of this book was published about 1950. This is a broad survey of Freemasonry covering English, Scottish and Irish aspects and written by an English author. Unlike many earlier books on Freemasonry which are often available in reprinted form, this book is readable and remains an invaluable and authoritative reference source. Jones also wrote a book on the Royal Arch, also highly recommended. A CD version containing both books is available.
