A sequel to 'Renaissance Man & Mason', this book primarily focuses on the Enlightenment period, particularly in continental Europe. Focusing therefore on the 1700s - 1800s, it provides the same eclectic mix of topics as in the previous book. However, the number of papers is reduced from 22 to 8, and therefore more in depth in their approach. The topics range from an in-depth look as an image in a King James Bible to an extensive exposition of the Black Eagle Rose Croix rituals of J.B. Willermoz, including the first English translation of these rites. It is hoped the book will appeal to any reader of the first in the series, as a means for private study or for use in Book Clubs, which was a major use of the first volume. It is worth noting that the first book contained 22 Chapters - the span of the Hebrew alphabet, while this contains 8, the number of perfection in Saint-Martin's system!
