William Morgan: Or Political Anti-Masonry, Its Rise, Growth, And Decadence, published in 1883, is a historical account of the anti-masonic movement in the United States during the early 19th century. Written by Robert Morris, a prominent American Freemason, the book traces the origins of the anti-masonic movement to the disappearance of William Morgan, a former Mason who threatened to reveal the secrets of the organization. Morris provides a detailed analysis of the political and social forces that fueled the anti-masonic movement, including the rise of populist politics and the growing influence of evangelical Christianity. He also examines the role of the press in shaping public opinion and the impact of the movement on American politics and society.Throughout the book, Morris offers a nuanced perspective on the anti-masonic movement, acknowledging both its legitimate grievances against the Masonic order and its excesses and contradictions. He also provides a detailed history of the Masonic order and its rituals, shedding light on the secretive organization that sparked such controversy and opposition.Overall, William Morgan: Or Political Anti-Masonry, Its Rise, Growth, And Decadence is a comprehensive and insightful account of a pivotal moment in American history, offering valuable insights into the complex interplay of politics, religion, and secrecy in the early years of the republic.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
