With a sketch of their origin and character. One hundred and Fifty monitorial and foot-note quotations from standard Masonic authors confirm the truthfulness of this revelation and show the character of these degrees. First edition, 1884 printing (2nd?). Bound in the original dark brown cloth bds, contents are near fine, bds are a tad loose, spine titles in gilt still nice and legible. I STRESS, this is NOT a reprint, it is the original printing from 1884. Fron the preface: "This volume is designed as a companion to "Freemasonry Illustrated," issued in July, 1879, the Third edition of which has just been issued." Very uncommon and scarce.
