Aphonse Cerza’s Anti-Masonry Bibliography

 

The following comes from:

Alphonse Cerza, Anti-Masonry: Light on the Past and Present Opponents of Freemasonry (Fulton, MO: Ovid Bell Press, 1962; 410p.), bibliography, 363-375.

Cerza was a law teacher and past master of a lodge. This is a unique bibliography that focuses upon anti-Mason literature, and—again—there is nothing like it in the anti-Mason literature.
