Illustrations of the Symbols of Freemasonry is a collection of lectures by Jacob Ernst. As the author himself admitted, they were not originally intended for publication. They began as a series of notes and sketches about the three degrees made during a period of unemployment. Having shared his efforts with his brethren, Ernst presented his lectures to the Fraternity in the winter of 1867 and at the request of the Vattier Lodge and Kilwinnig Chapter. He was then requested to publish his lectures in book form. Originally published in 1868, Illustrations of the Symbols of Freemasonry remains a great source of information and light. It makes a great addition to any Masonic collection and is the perfect gift for the newly raised Master Mason.

Social history as a corrective to a historiography is often too limited to diplomacy and wars. It began an upward trajectory as early as the 1930s, but it remains constrained by the frustrating cost and availability of materials that even great research libraries lack. One subject getting renewed attention is Freemasonry. This volume is a case in point. Fraternal movements like Freemasonry have impacted society for hundreds of years. Yet, over time research into their undoubted influence has been handicapped by their codes of secrecy, arcane rituals, and the paucity of continuing tertiary research projects. As a step towards "more light" Westphalia Press has produced a number of scarce titles that will be helpful in understanding the "secret empire" of lodges, initiations, and (candidly) the deliberately inscrutable. This edition of Ernst's classic collection is dedicated to the brothers of St. John's Lodge in Boston, oldest Masonic lodge in the Western Hemisphere.
