A former owner presented the set to the lodge and both copies have a hand-written inscription on the early inside pages.
This book in its various forms is considered the classic Masonic reference book. It was written around 1873 then updated versions were published in the years that followed, notably in the first three decades of the 20th Century. This set was published in 1925.
It covers everything from adoptive Masonry to rites, rituals and schisms. Entries include the “lady Freemason St. Leger,” the all-seeing eye, Grand Lodges, numbers, the Rite of Perfection, Swedish Rite, secret societies and alphabetical entries all the way to Zurthost.
The M-Z volume includes a pronunciation dictionary.
This matching two-volume set would look fine on any bookshelf, either in a lodge room or in a personal library. Because the spines, covers and insides of both books are in good condition they are practical for Masons and other scholars wanting to delve into references and learn about the Craft.
The 1925 books show some signs of age and wear, as one would expect. The covers and bottom edges of the spine are scuffed. Some of the coloring around the outsides of the covers is still visible. See photos for exact condition.
Cannot combine shipping with other items because of weight and shape of package. It will be shipped Media Mail, which is slow but the cheapest available for books.
