by Levi Carroll Judson

The Masonic Advocate: Being A Concise Exposition And Full Defense Of Free Masonry is a book written by Levi Carroll Judson and originally published in 1859. The book provides a comprehensive and detailed explanation of the principles, rituals, and practices of Freemasonry, as well as a defense against the criticisms and attacks that were common at the time. Judson's book is divided into several sections, each of which explores different aspects of Freemasonry. The first section provides an overview of the history of the organization, including its origins in medieval stonemasonry and its development into a fraternal society. The second section delves into the symbolism and rituals of Freemasonry, including the use of the compass, square, and other tools as symbols of moral and ethical principles. The third section of the book addresses the various criticisms and accusations that have been leveled against Freemasonry over the years, including allegations of conspiracy, secrecy, and anti-Christian beliefs. Judson provides a vigorous defense of the organization, arguing that these accusations are unfounded and based on misconceptions about the true nature of Freemasonry. Overall, The Masonic Advocate is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the history and philosophy of Freemasonry, as well as for those seeking to defend the organization against its detractors. Judson's clear and concise writing style, combined with his deep knowledge of the subject matter, make this book an essential read for anyone interested in the world of Freemasonry.With An Appendix.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
