Hi OP,

I've actually done a bit of research on the early Freemasons. I'd recommend The Origins of Freemasonry by David Stevenson. Its a good look at how a middle class Scottish trade organization was transformed into an upper class quasi mystical fraternity. Its somewhat academic, but very reliable. It only deals with the organization up until 1700, and mainly focuses on its early development. If you anyone wants to reply with an email address I'd be happy to send you my paper.
