Of Errors & Of Truth, or Man Restored to the Universal Principle of Knowledge was published in Lyon in 1775, when Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin was 33 years old. Born in 1743 in Amboise, France, he studied Law for a short time before entering the army, serving as a commissioned officer at the Regiment stationed at Foix. There he met the enigmatic Martinez de Pasqually, and shortly thereafter he was initiated into his extraordinary theurgical Masonic group, called the Order of Elect Cohens of the Universe. He soon resigned his commission to become the Master's full-time secretary, eventually reaching the highest Grade in Pasqually's Order, that of R aux Croix.

He worked with Pasqually on his great work, Treatise on the Reintegration of Beings, an extraordinary sprawling work setting forth a unique view on the origin of man, his fall, and providing an unorthodox commentary on the first part of the Old Testament. It is through this close collaboration that Saint-Martin came to meet Jean-Baptiste Willermoz, another disciple of Pasqually who was a prominent Lyonnais businessman and Freemason who went on to found many Masonic Orders, in particular the Scottish Rectified Rite and the Knights Beneficent of the Holy City.

However, Saint-Martin became increasingly uncomfortable with the elaborate theurgical rituals of the Elus Cohen, and when Pasqually left France in 1772 to take up an inheritance in St. Domingo, the Order began to fall apart, and Saint-Martin found himself becoming increasingly mystical in outlook.

During an extended stay in Lyon with his friend Willermoz, Saint-Martin wrote his first book, under the pseudonym Unknown Philosopher. He was 32 when he wrote it. The book, recollecting Pasqually's Treatise, outlines a mystical philosophical outlook which is clearly based on Pasqually's teachings, but with a distinct Christian flavor. It is wide-reaching, attempting to put forward his theories by drawing on examples from many fields, including Politics, Philosophy, Music, Writing and Painting. The book was printed by Willermoz' fellow Lodge members, the P risse Brothers, although the frontispeice claims the book was printed in 'Edimbourg', a common practice at the time to avoid paying exhorbitant taxes charged on all books printed in France at that time.

The Enlightenment had led to a great expansion in the Sciences, and the search to find the solutions to the great questions in Nature and in Man, rather than in God, distressed him greatly. He was particularly concered about the influence of the so-called Materialists, who he felt were leading mankind on a path toward atheism. Therefore he wrote this book to counter their materialism, and to set forth a sweeping vision of the origin of man, his fall, and the path of return, which, following Pasqually's terminology, he also called the Path of Reintegration.

The book was an immediate success, particularly among Masons, though its veiled criticism of religion and politics led to it being put on proscribed lists for a time. Naturally, it drew the wrath of the Enlightenment philosophers of the time, and in particular Voltaire. However, it takes its place as one of the great mystical Christian writings of the 18th Century, and as a major early document on the teachings of European Freemasonry in general, and the nascent Scottish Rite in particular.

Fantastic suit, especially for the $$$!
Color: Black, Size: XX-Large
Bought this for my husband and my son to attend our daughter’s wedding as they had nothing to wear at all. I was kind of scared when I ordered 2 sets of these suits, I had read so many reviews that I was totally overwhelmed and didn’t know if I should get it or not, my head was literally spinning as the reviews were all over the place. So, we had went to Men’s Warehouse earlier in the day, so I had their suit jacket measurements, so I used those numbers, but tbh, I just went with the size that they usually get when getting clothes in general and their suits fit great! I was so relieved!! They looked so handsome oh my goodness! These suits fit the way that they are advertised to fit, which is “slim fit” which means they fit like a glove! Slim fit does not mean “too small” it means that these suits are not baggy or oversized, they fit the body just right! They were not wrinkly when taken out of the package, they were very nice quality, the pants were made with a nice material, they did not feel cheap at all. Everything was great!! I was so impressed with everything! I could not believe that I got both my husband and my son a 3 piece suit for less than $100 each! Both of them said that their suits were extremely comfortable and they had no problem wearing them all night. You could tell by their faces that they felt confident in them, and they knew they looked good. Very happy customer!!

Better than expected
Color: Black, Size: X-Large, Color: Black, Size: X-Large
I took a chance hoping for the best and the three piece set was better than expected and WAY more affordable than renting one. Fit my son well, who is about 215lb 6ft tall. A little snug at the belly, but great fit, zipper up fine, came with extra buttons. The material felt of decent quality and looked like a rental. My son got to fit in for his prom at a reasonable cost and good appearance without breaking the bank

GREAT suit for the price.
Color: Black, Size: X-Large
Amazing suit. Ordered an XL for my husband when we got it. Pants were very long and a little big on the waist, so we took them to get tailored for a more fitted look. I don’t like that the “pocket square” is sewn in but, it can be tucked down, so we did that and added our own that matched the tie we ordered separately. Overall, good quality for the price. We have not washed but we do take it to the dry cleaners.

Quality vs Representation
Color: Black, Size: Medium, Color: Black, Size: Medium
Please check clothing due to finding the blazer a bit dirty as if someone wore it with Cat hair and dust along with a dead bug and smelling a fishy smell. We ordered in advance to take it to the dry cleaners for additional wash before using. Quality is great material; tie not included be sure to measure before purchasing to avoid any tailoring.
