John Marshall, a great chief justice of the United States Supreme Court wrote:

"The institution of Masonry ought to be abandoned as one capable of producing much evil, and incapable of producing any good which might not be affected by open means."

Marshall was himself a famous Mason and had assisted in the establishment of two Lodges in Virginia. His biography is one of the only twenty five appearing under the section, "statesmen, Founders, Officers" in the book "Famous Masons and Masonic Presidents."

He is included in the same section as Albert Pike and Adam Weishaupt. Marshall must have therefore known of Masonry. His anti-Masonic statement came shortly before his death in 1835.
