Although Oliver—a prolific author among the Masonic community during his time—originates and advances in this and other works the unsupported view that Freemasonry literally traced back to the time of Adam, he does demonstrate important interpretations of symbols used in Freemasonry, which interpretations merit thoughtful consideration to be adopted by Masons and non-Masons alike.
