The Accolade was
a ceremony that conferred Knighthood. In this highly romanticized version the
maiden lightly touches the candidate's shoulder with the sword.

ACCOLADE"

(1853-1922)
"This is a fascinating book. It is the best that I have ever read about Freemasonry that was written by a non-Mason. It is exceptionally well researched.... I recommend it wholeheartedly.
-The Maine Mason
This, the first book Robinson wrote concerning the connection between the ancient Templars and Freemasonry, is very interesting. The belief in the connection has been around for a long time. However Mr. Robinson sheds some "new" light on the subject. If you ever doubted this connection your mind may be changed by reading this book.
