| Summary | "The Principles of Masonic Law" by Albert Gallatin Mackey is a treatise on the constitutional laws, usages, and landmarks of Freemasonry, written in the mid-19th century. The work provides a systematic exploration of the legal principles that govern the Masonic fraternity, aimed at educating members about their rights and duties within the organization. At the start of the book, Mackey presents an overview of his intentions and the structure of Freemasonic law. He emphasizes that this is not a comprehensive legal encyclopedia but an elementary guide intended to clarify foundational principles. The opening portion discusses the unwritten and written laws of Freemasonry, the significance of ancient landmarks, and the evolution of Grand Lodges. Mackey argues for the importance of understanding these principles to navigate Masonry effectively, and he insists that while he provides insights based on groundwork and tradition, readers should judge the validity of his conclusions critically.
