After being denied admission to a Masonic lodge in Batavia, William Morgan secured a sizable advance from a local newspaper publisher for this work. That publisher, David Cade Miller, released this book after Morgan's death, presumably at the hands of the Masons. Because of the notoriety of the previous events, The Mysteries of Free Masonry Containing All the Degrees of the Order Conferred in a Master's Lodge became an instant best seller and an American classic.

Reseñas editoriales

At the time that this Free Masonry tell-all was published in 1826, it became a best seller, a status that can probably be attributed to the mysterious disappearance of its author, William Morgan, who was rumored to have been murdered at the hands of the Masons he had exposed. Sensationalism, it seems, has always sold books. Listeners with an interest in ritual and liturgy will be fascinated by Morgan's step-by-step descriptions of Masonic ceremonies. Ken Maxon is the convivial voice that brings life to this procedural material. On a contemporary note, the historic Mysteries of Free Masonry reminds listeners of the current anti-Scientology literature being published by dissatisfied practitioners.

This is not Morgan’s Freemasonry Exposed; I am pretty sure it’s Richardson’s Monitor. Reader has a pleasant enough voice, but has no idea how to pronounce many Masonic words, or even biblical words: HEE-rum-uh-BEEF, sep-POLE-kur, Two Chronicles, etc. I thought I’d get over it, but it just kept getting more aggravating.

Not Morgan but still good

You can’t make things up about something that has existed for centuries and pretend that it’s real. One may be able to pass it off and convince others it is real, but it doesn’t make it so. Don’t rely on this as something other than a way to pretend.

So incorrect.

What disappointed you about The Mysteries of Free Masonry Containing All the Degrees of the Order Conferred in a Master's Lodge?

There must be some other way to present "The Mysteries" besides the verbatim reading out of every knock and question/answer ritual.

Would you ever listen to anything by William Morgan again?

Nope

Would you listen to another book narrated by Ken Maxon?

Yep. He did a good job with terrible material.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

meh

This was quite disappointing on so many levels. The monotonous manner of the work is discouraging.
