The author discusses the various Masonic lodges that Burns belonged to, and how his involvement in the organization impacted his personal life and literary output. The book also includes a detailed analysis of Burns' poems and songs that contain Masonic symbolism and references. Overall, Robert Burns as a Freemason offers a fascinating look into the life of one of Scotland's most beloved literary figures and sheds light on the role that Freemasonry played in his life and work.1921. The association of the national bard with the brethren of the mystic tie forms one of the most picturesque aspects of the poet's short and interesting career. Burns found much pleasure in the gatherings of the ancient and honorable Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons and fellows of the Craft, and spent many happy hours in what is described Masonically in Scotland as harmony and elsewhere as the 4th Degree. A goodly number of his acquaintances were Freemasons and it is not too much to say that not a few of them derive any immortality they enjoy by living in the shadow of his fame.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
