London edition, 1880.
Anonymously published, but attributed to Thomas Paine. Interesting essay about
the religion of the Druids as origin of the freemasonry.
Este
libro vincula la antigua religión de los Druidas como origen de
la Masonería.
PRINCIPALES TEMAS
The real secret of
freemasons is not other than their origin. The absurdity of deriving masonry
from the building of Babel. Masonry is derived, and is the remains of the
religion of the ancient Druids. In masonry, many of the ceremonies of the
Druids are preserved in their original state. The most perfect remains of the
Druids' rites and ceremonies are preserved in the customs and ceremonies of the
masons. The natural source of secrecy. The Institution, to avoid the name of
Druid, took that of Mason, and practised, under this new name, the rights and
ceremonies of Druids.
Solo como dato extra, el autor es Thomas Paine. Saludos!
