This idea gives unity to all those forms of secret associations, which George Schuster fascinatingly tells. "The History of Secret Societies, Unions and Orders" is a fundamental and fascinating study. Schuster's book is unparalleled in its competence and breadth of scope. The author has a colossal erudition, using in his work a huge array of printed and handwritten literature.
