From the Quarries

A new Video!

A commentary on and analysis of the 25 “ancient, universal and immutable” landmarks published by Albert Mackey in the American Quarterly Review of Freemasonry in 1858. Although clearly dated, error strewn and contentious to the modern reader, Mackey’s “landmarks” form a fascinating side-road in the histoy of the Craft.

The paper “The Landmarks of the Order” by VW Bro. Trevor W. McKeown provided some invaluable background for this video. A copy can be accessed here: http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/history/landmarks.pdf .

As he states: “The so-called landmarks are an historical curiosity and an important study for any serious masonic student. But they have no place in our constitution.”
