Here, the eminent historian Jasper Ridley offers a thoughtful, rounded assessment of freemasonry throughout the ages, from its origins up to the present day. Not a mason himself, Ridley nonetheless refutes many of the outrageous allegations made against the order and puts into proper perspective its many contributions to civilization over the centuries.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eDecember 9, 2002 by Arcade Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Very Good \/ Paperback \/ Jasper Ridley","offer_id":51163237777706,"sku":"9781559706544","price":33.0,"currency_code":"ILS","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/4039\/5562\/files\/356201.jpg?v=1772617772","url":"https:\/\/evasusedbooks.co\/products\/the-freemasons-a-history-of-the-worlds-most-powerful-secret-society","provider":"Eva's Used Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
