A Pocket Lexicon of Freemasonry by W.J. Morris is a comprehensive guide to the terminology, symbols, and practices of Freemasonry. This book is designed to be a quick reference for Freemasons and non-Masons alike who are interested in the history and traditions of this ancient fraternity. The author provides definitions for over 1,000 terms commonly used in Freemasonry, including the names of lodges, degrees, and orders, as well as the meanings of symbols and allegories. The book also includes a brief history of Freemasonry, an explanation of its rituals, and a glossary of Masonic acronyms. With its compact size and easy-to-use format, A Pocket Lexicon of Freemasonry is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand this fascinating and mysterious organization.From the Preface: For many years there has been felt the want of a small and reliable Masonic Pocket Companion, which would be of value to the young Mason, by giving him full information in all matters connected with the ritual and customs of the Order, and also be an aid to the memory of the older brethren. With this view the Pocket Lexicon has been compiled and carefully revised. Nothing is contained in it that is not strictly correct, and confined solely to the three degrees of Antient Freemasonry. It has already been approved of by three of the Grand Masters and many Past Masters.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
