An Interpretation of our Masonic Symbols by J.S.M. Ward is a comprehensive guide to the symbols and rituals of Freemasonry.

He also discusses the role of the Masonic lodge and the significance of the initiation ceremony. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding the symbolism and philosophy of Freemasonry.This book is an attempt to interpret the meaning of those dumb, silent emblems that lie around us in the Lodge.
