The 1723 Constitutions were important not only to the United Grand Lodge of England but
also to many other, indeed most, Grand Lodges around the world whose central tenets
descend from this seminal document.

The Constitutions gave the world a bold, almost revolutionary, proclamation of
Enlightenment values and freemasonry became an important vector for the propagation of
these principles which spread across and were embraced within the United Kingdom,
Europe, North and Latin America, and elsewhere, helping to shape models of governance.
The academic conference held at Queens' College, Cambridge, in the autumn of 2023 looked
in detail at some of these areas and issues with delegates enjoying papers from a globally-
renowned portfolio of speakers from around the world. The papers in this volume of
Proceedings are not only an important contribution to academic research but, at the same
time, open a window to greater understanding for all. The book will be appreciated by
academic and lay readers alike.
