This is a collection of Masonic rituals, including ceremonies related to the degrees of the Entered Apprentice, Fellow-craft and Master Mason. It includes extensive treatment of funeral rituals. There is musical notation for a number of Masonic hymns. An appendix has a series of model documents for various masonic situations. While it does not disclose anything truly secret, the General Ahiman Rezon gives us an insightful peek behind the veil of 19th century Masonic pomp and circumstance.
<Excerpt>
"He will likewise shun the gross errors of bigotry and superstition; making a due use of his own reason, according to that liberty wherewith a Mason is made free. For although, in ancient times, the Christian Masons were CHARGED to comply with the Christian usages of the countries where sojourned or worked (being found in all nations, and of divers <sic> religions and persuasions) yet it is now thought most expedient that the brethren in general should only be CHARGED to adhere to the essentials of religions in which all men agree; leaving each brother to his own private judgment, as to particular modes and forms. Whence, it follows, that all Masons are to be GOOD MEN AND TRUE---MEN OF HONOR AND HONESTY, BY WHATEVER RELIGIOUS NAMES OR PERSUASIONS DISTINGUISHED; always following that golden precept of 'doing unto all men as (upon a change of conditions) they would that all men should do to them.'"
This text belongs in the library of each of every individual Free and Accepted Mason. Five stars. Superb!
