This work was used by Masonic officers throughout New England and elsewhere, this work was clearly a prime Masonic influence in Joseph Smith's immediate world. The list of subscribers shows some two hundred copies going to Ontario County, New York, including Seymour Scovell, the Palmyra store keeper who occasionally gave odd jobs to young Joseph. It may interest Mormon scholars to see that this book ascribes Masonic tradition and practice to major Old Testament figures, beginning with Enoch and continuing through Melchizedek, Solomon and others who ostensibly passed the sacred name of deity on through the centuries to the present day.
