The Symbol of Glory: Shewing the Object and End of Freemasonry

"No member of the Masonic body has done more to advance the principles of the Order than the writer of this book, who has proved that this fraternal system is based on the blood ed and calculated, when carried out according to its primeval intentions, to be the handmaid of true religion. We will not attempt to explain the object of this, the last, as we regret to hear, of the many excellent treatises which Dr. Oliver has written. This much, however, we must say: first, that whoever reads it, be he a member of the mystic tie or not, will derive much pleasure from its researches, and a large amount of instruction. The book is elegantly printed, and deserves the amount of patronage which an influential subscription-list proves has been awarded to it by the Masonic Brethren, in .token of their esteem for one who has indeed faithfully and zealously performed his allotted task in his day and generation." --Bell's Messenger.
