The History of Freemasonry encompasses the origins, evolution and
defining events of the fraternal organization known as Freemasonry. It
covers three phases. Firstly, the emergence of organized lodges of
operative masons during the Middle Ages, then the admission of lay
members as "accepted" or speculative masons, and finally the evolution
of purely speculative lodges, and the emergence of Grand Lodges to
govern them. The watershed in this process is generally taken to be the
formation of the first Grand Lodge in London in 1717. The two
difficulties facing historians are the paucity of written material, even
down to the 19th century, and the misinformation generated by masons and
non-masons alike from the earliest years.
Albert Gallatin Mackey, born in Charleston, South Carolina, (March 12,
1807 – June 20, 1881) was an American medical doctor and author. He is
best known for his writing many books and articles about freemasonry,
particularly the Masonic Landmarks. After completing his
early education, Albert Mackey taught school for some time to earn money
for medical school. He graduated from the medical department of the
College of South Carolina in 1832. He settled in Charleston, South
Carolina. In 1838 he was appointed demonstrator of anatomy in that
institution.
In 1844 he abandoned the practice of medicine. For the rest of his life,
he wrote on a variety of subjects, but specialized in the study of
several languages, the Middle Ages, and freemasonry. After being
connected with several Charleston journals, he established in 1849 The
Southern and Western Masonic Miscellany, a weekly magazine. He
maintained it for three years, mostly by his own expense. He conducted a
Quarterly 1858-1860 which he devoted to the same interests.
He served as Grand Lecturer and Grand Secretary of The Grand Lodge of
South Carolina, as well as Secretary General of the Supreme Council of
the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite for the Southern Jurisdiction of
the United States. Albert Mackey is considered one of the most
important Masonic writers of all time.
