FREEMASONS, n. An order with secret rites, 

grotesque ceremonies and fantastic costumes, 

which, originating in the reign of Charles II, 

among working artisans of London, 

has been joined successively 

by the dead of past centuries in unbroken retrogression 

until now it embraces all the generations of man 

on the hither side of Adam 

and is drumming up distinguished recruits 

among the pre-Creational inhabitants of Chaos and Formless Void. 

 

The order was founded at different times 

by Charlemagne, Julius Caesar, Cyrus, Solomon, 

Zoroaster, Confucious, Thothmes, and Buddha. 

Its emblems and symbols have been found 

in the Catacombs of Paris and Rome, 

on the stones of the Parthenon and the Chinese Great Wall, 

among the temples of Karnak and Palmyra 

and in the Egyptian Pyramids -- always by a Freemason. 

-- Ambrose Bierce. The Devil’s Dictionary. 

The World Publishing Company: 

Cleveland and New York. 1941. p. 108.
