Excerpt from Egypt the Cradle of Ancient Masonry: Comprising a History of Egypt, With a Comprehensive and Authentic Account of the Antiquity of Masonry, Resulting From Many Years of Personal Investigation and Exhaustive Research in India, Persia, Syria and the Valley of the Nile Such was the thought that prompted the author to undertake the preparation of Egypt, Me Cradle of Ancient Masonry, after first receiving the Light in India, and being brought face to face, in the Eastern coun tries, with convincing evidences of the wonderful knowledge acquired by the ancient people. This knowledge, even from its first and superficial manifestation, commanded both intense surprise and admiration. It led to a determina tion to investigate, to the fullest extent, the meaning and purport of the numerous hieroglyphic inscriptions, symbols and characters found upon the ancient tombs and temples, so that the Masonic Fraternity might understand, appreciate and apply the teachings of the hierophants and sages of bygone days. In writing this work it was deemed expedient to refer to numerous Masonic authorities, due acknowledgment and credit being given to each; if, however, such has been omitted, it has been purely an oversight.
