First sentence: THE antiquity of Freemasonry is generally conceded by all, whether friend or foe; and while some have asserted that "from the commencement of the world we may trace the foundation of Masonry," others have deduced its rise at a later date, from the societies of operative Masons and cathedral builders of the middle ages, and still others, preferring a middle ground, derive its origin from the building of Solomon's Temple at Jerusalem.
