[13] _Signs and Symbols_, Churchward, chap. xvii.

[14] Here again the literature is voluminous, but not entirely
satisfactory. A most interesting book is _Signs and Symbols of
Primordial Man_, by Churchward, in that it surveys the symbolism of the
race always with reference to its Masonic suggestion. Vivid and popular
is _Symbols and Legends of Freemasonry_, by Finlayson, but he often
strains facts in order to stretch them over wide gaps of time. Dr.
Mackey's _Symbolism of Freemasonry_, though written more than sixty
years ago, remains a classic of the order. Unfortunately the lectures
of Albert Pike on _Symbolism_ are not accessible to the general reader,
for they are rich mines of insight and scholarship, albeit betraying
his partisanship of the Indo-Aryan race. Many minor books might be
named, but we need a work brought up to date and written in the light
of recent research.

the expenses for removing which were paid by W.H. Vanderbilt, was
examined by the Grand Lodge of New York, and its emblems pronounced to
be unmistakably Masonic. This book gives full account of all obelisks
brought to Europe from Egypt, their measurements, inscriptions, and
