Glimpses of Masonic History

Charles Webster Leadbeater was influential early in the development of mixed gender Freemasonry and at the peak of the Theosophical influence. Annie Besant was also a Theosophist and she also introduced Theosophical elements into her Freemasonry but Leadbeater (together with Wedgewood) went way over Besant in that regard.Leadbeater wrote a lot but it seems that his bibliography contains just two books about Freemasonry both published in 1926. The first is called Glimpses of Masonic History (later:  Ancient Mystic Rites). The second The Hidden Life in Freemasonry. Combining seership with science in Glimpses of Masonic History Leadbeater presents an absorbing in-depth study of the mystery schools of Egypt Greece Judea the Knights Templar of the Middle Ages and the emergence of Co-Masonry in the twentieth century.
