Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Masonry

This is Albert Pikes' lectures' on the esoteric roots of Scottish Rite Freemasonry. This text provides a philosophic and moral commentary of all 32 degrees (3 from craft lodge, 4-32, the 33rd being awarded for dedicated service.) Pike addmits that he acted mostly as compiler rather than author, unfortunately he does not properly cite his sources. So much material is covered in this book that it is suggested to augment and compare other source material against this text to assist with clarity and critical thinking.
