Abstract:(The author has) tried to stretch --- as briefly as possible the ancient lineage of these brotherhoods, their great influence, and how from being purely religious movements of men in search of philosophical truth, and others who followed them for consolation in a troubled world, they might well become forces utilized sometimes in all honesty for the redress of grievances, in others the tools of ambitions men used for equivocal ends. Their influence persists --- to this day. (p. 142).
