The origin and development of Freemasonry have been discussed by many able writers, though frequently with a desire perhaps unconscious—to co-ordinate theories with wishes.
The subject is not an easy one, as it does not lend itself to such exact determination as, say, sculpture or languages, as these can readily be traced in the form of the tools in the former, and word-roots in the latter.
At the same time it may be interesting to search for some connecting links between primitive attempts to erect stone edifices and elementary religion and morality, and how far primitive forms of religion have influenced the evolution of a temple, and whether in these we can find any traces of Masonic tradition.
