Critics Review
”… tells the tale of how this famous first scientist envisioned expressing spirituality through the scientific method.” * Venture Inward, Nov/Dec 2007 *“Here, French historian Alain Bauer … reviews the history and origins of operative and speculative Freemasonry in England and points out where so many other authors over the centuries have erred in their interpretations.” * Nexus, Mar/Apr 2008 *“This slim volume, written under the authority of the Masonic Institute of France, with a foreword by the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of France, provides a comprehensive story of Freemasonry.” * The Beacon, Jan/Mar 2008 *“The scholarly research behind the book is apparent in the very in-depth information provided in the appendix, notes, and bibliography. I would recommend this work to anyone who is endeavoring to add more knowledge to their understanding of the historical formation of Freemasonry.” * Veritas Newsletter, July 2008 *
