Leather-bound books "Secret Societies of all countries and peoples" by Heckerthorn

This book is actually a guide to the history of the formation, development and activities of secret societies. The author has never written anything else in his life. Because almost all his life he traveled the world in search of information for this book.

Masons and Templars, alchemists and Rosicrucians, Kabbalists and Gnostics — almost all secret societies known to world history are described in Heckerthorne's fundamental work, published in 1874. The author himself considered his book "the clearest account of secret societies". The text is accompanied by etchings by Francisco Goya and other engravings of the XIV-XVIII centuries.
