From the Freemasons to the Knights Templar and from Rosicrucians to Chinese Triads, this in-depth handbook explains the history, beliefs and secret rituals of some of the most powerful covert organizations ever to have existed. A fully-illustrated guide to key rituals, meeting places and individuals. Includes major societies such as the Freemasons and the Knights Templar.

Written by an expert author and featuring a code-breaker checklist of secret signs and symbols to help you identify different societies, this book reveals the mysteries behind the world's most elusive organizations. What are the answers to life's greatest mysteries?

Is there truly such a thing as "secret knowledge", or secret groups in possession of such clandestine truths? Although some might assert that the Middle Theory podcast, its hosts, and avid listenership gain wisdom from the ancient teachings of trans-dimensional beings, who arrived on Earth long ago and brought technology to its primitive peoples, the simpler truth is that their knowledge of the arcane stems from Niccolo Machiavelli, the infamous Florentine political philosopher, and a single aspect of his work that was kept so secret, and for so long, that literally no one knew anything about it, until today.

It is an organization so clandestine, and esoteric in its interests, that few who would be so lucky to study it would even recognize the information gained for being what it is: the ultimate source of all knowledge. What you will learn within the pages of this very rare handbook-perhaps the rarest book of its kind in all the four corners of the Universe-is the ultimate source of knowledge. Here, you will learn of principles that contain the meaning of life, the truth of world happenings, the secret teachings of all ages, and the key to our place in the universe.

Perhaps of greatest importance, you will also learn that for members of The World's Most Secret Society, there is always time for a damned fine beverage. Excerpt from Social Welfare in Cambridge: A Handbook for Citizens This summary of the more important agencies for public service in Cambridge is published with the hope that it may prove of practical use to Cambridge citizens and social workers.

The omission of any agency or society has no significance; the list, for various reasons, is in complete. Among the subjects not included, or given in part only, are mutual benefit and secret societies, details of church work, clubs of various kinds, and charities of a strictly eleemosynary character. The assistance given by members of a city study class, and by other interested persons, is gratefully acknowledged.
