Lacks the final few pages, pages 105-108. Some rubbing and wear, several tears and small losses, discoloration and soiling, else in good condition. Masonic Oaths, with Notes; to which are Added, Practical Proofs of the Character and Tendency of Free-Masonry is an early exposé of the rituals and oaths associated with Freemasonry, a secretive and historically influential fraternal organization. This work critiques Freemasonry by not only documenting its oaths and ceremonies but also offering commentary on what the author perceives as its moral, social, and political implications. The book positions itself as a practical examination of the secret society, arguing that the teachings and practices of Freemasonry have specific consequences on both individuals and society at large. It belongs to a tradition of anti-Masonic literature that emerged in the 18th and 19th centuries, often motivated by concerns about the influence of secret societies on politics and religion.
