From the Back Cover:

Freemasonry of the Ancient Egyptians to which is added An Interpretation of the Crata Repoa Initiation Rite.

"That the gods of Egypt were elements of a profound magical system and possessed a significance far different from that advanced by modern Egyptologists is certain. The various deities of the Nile valley were elements of an elaborate metaphysical system, a kind of ceremonial Cabbala."
