5.0 out of 5 stars
Every mason ought to read this book.,
By
This review is from: Builders: A Story and Study of Masonry (Kessinger Publishing's Rare Reprints) (Paperback)
I finished reading this book between my E.A. and F.C. confirmations and want to read it again (as a M.M.), but it is on loan to one of my brothers. This is a book every mason ought to read. It is full of references to good literature and gives a very articulated and informative view of many aspects of masonry. While not as hard to read as Moral and Dogma, it does take a minute to absorb, but it is none the less very well written. I say all this pertaining to the 1916 or so 1st edition (from the 2nd printing) that I inherited from my Grandfather, which is hardbound approx. 292 pages. But let us hope that in the later editions the antiquity of masonry which is so elloquently expressed in the original has been preserved.

3.0 out of 5 stars
great book for a new Mason,
By
This review is from: Builders: A Story and Study of Masonry (Kessinger Publishing's Rare Reprints) (Paperback)
This is a great book for a new (or old) Master Mason to read. Joeseph Fort Newton designed this book for new Master Masons under the Grand Lodge of Iowa - but it is in no way specific to Iowa.
4.0 out of 5 stars
The Builders is exactly what Masonry is about,
By
This review is from: The Builders: A Story and Study of Masonry (Dodo Press) (Paperback)
I was given a copy of this book when I first became a Freemason back in the early 1980's, I have read it and re-read it over the years. I always get something new out of it each time I read it. I often quote from it as Newton was a skilled writer on the subject of Masonry.I would recommend it to anyone be they an Entered Apprentice, Master Mason or someone thinking of becoming a Mason. The only secrets in Masonry are the business conducted in Lodge concerning the funds taking in and how the money is to be spent, other than that there are no secrets between Masons.
