Although it has been traced to the 10th Century; BC; history indicates that the fraternity of Freemasons was introduced into England in 926 AD. As an association that continues to thrive today; the brotherhood was confronted with a difficult conflict when the Civil War broke out in 1861. Freemasons; both northern and southern; were forced to choose a side and go against the very foundation of the society of Freemasonry. Written as a tribute to the Friend to Friend Masonic Memorial; "Freemasons at Gettysburg" documents the presence of over 50 Masons at the Battle of Gettysburg. Despite all of their differences; Masons continued to practice their principles of brotherly love and good will on the battlefield; thus proving that the men who joined under the order would not; under any circumstances; sever their bonds of Masonic unity.

21 of 22 people found the following review helpful. excellent commentaryBy Miguel A. Infante Jr.I am a student of Shambhala Buddhism and have been wanting to learn Madhyamaka for some time; it being an integral part of the Mahayana teachings. I had come across other translations of Nagarjuna's famous treatise but found it to be mostly incomprehensible. In this current translation professors Siderits and Katsura have provided a verse by verse commentary which is invaluable and makes this challenging text understandable. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading it and would recommend it to any student of the Mahayana.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Mandatory for serious buddhists!By SanthiReally good translation and commentary based on the 4 known historical commentaries: the anonymous' AkutobhayÄ; BhÄviveka's; BuddhapÄlita's and CandrakÄ«rti's; giving a profound view on the main buddhist principle: Å›unyatÄ; emptiness. A must-read for any serious buddhist and serious truth seeker!
