1816, 200 years ago this year.

Brigham Young owned a copy of an 1821 edition of Joshua Bradley's 'Some of the Beauties of Free-Masonry' (first published 1816). It discusses the seven days of creation in the context of the Masonic temple ritual, says that "The Bee-Hive is an emblem of industry" and mentions the "All Seeing Eye."
