This collection of essays by Robert Lomas has no particular theme, except Freemasonry. It includes essays about the philosophy of Freemasonry, about its past, its present practice and its possible futures. Some are formally documented and referenced, some are not, some are written for the general public and assume no prior knowledge and others are written as a Freemason writing for other Masons. They span a period of seventeen years and show the development of Robert Lomas's ideas on the Craft. This collection will stimulate the thinking Freemason, who is earnestly searching for "that which is lost", and should also interest those who are not yet Freemasons but who are wondering whether to join.
