An Interpretation of our Masonic Symbols by J.S.M. Ward is a book that delves into the various symbols used in Freemasonry and provides an interpretation of their meanings. The author, who was a prominent Masonic scholar, explores the origins of these symbols and their significance in Masonic rituals and teachings. The book is divided into chapters, each of which focuses on a particular symbol, such as the compass, square, and trowel. Ward also discusses the symbolism of the various degrees of Masonry, including the Entered Apprentice, Fellow Craft, and Master Mason degrees. Throughout the book, Ward emphasizes the importance of understanding the deeper meanings behind these symbols in order to fully appreciate the teachings of Freemasonry. This book is an essential resource for Masons and anyone interested in the history and symbolism of this ancient fraternity.This book is an attempt to interpret the meaning of those dumb, silent emblems that lie around us in the Lodge. I shall concentrate my attention of such objects as the Ashlars, the officers' jewels, and so forth. The purpose of this works is to give a scientific explanation of the meaning of these symbols, based on the recognized laws of symbology and on the age-old interpretation of them.
