What is the point of Freemasonry? Why do we have degrees and what is this "path" Masons are supposed to be on? W.L.

This classic work has been recommended for new and experienced Masons since its 1922 original publication. Retypeset 2020 Cornerstone edition with a contemporary foreword by Michael R. Poll.
