The Craftsman and Freemason's Guide: Containing a Delineation of the Rituals of Freemasonry (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from The Craftsman and Freemason's Guide: Containing a Delineation of the Rituals of Freemasonry

WE have no apology to make in presenting the following compilation to the Masonic Fraternity. All agree that some work of the kind is needed at the present time. The great and constantly increasing accessions to our Order in the West, and the renewed attentions to our peculiar rites and ceremonies, have created a demand for a practical book. Webb's Monitor, which by many was considered the best of its kind, has long been out Of print, and its truly excellent author Sleeps in peace with his Fathers.

March 12th, 184G. Having examined the manuscript pages of a work prepared by Bro. CORNELIUS MOORE, entitled, THE CRAFTSMAN, AND FREEMASONS GUIDE, I have no hesitation in commending it to the favorable consideration of the fraternity in Ohio, and elsewhere, as a useful, convenient, and compendious Text-B ook, for the use of Lodges and private brethren. It is a judicious compilation from standard masonic authors; and in point of the arrangement of its matter, is preferable in my estimation, to any work of the kind which has fallen under my observation. Especially in the hands of those upon whom devolve the active duties of theL cJ ge and Chapter, it will be found a ready and acceptable Manual of masonry. By the exclusion from its pages of much that is interesting chiefly to those of far-reaching curiosity while all is retained that is necessary for the exemplification of our principles, or to aid in the practice of our rites the work is brought within a convenient compass, and is afforded at so low a price as to place it within the reach of every brother. W. B. THRALL, Grand Master of the Grand Lodge ofO hio. We entirely concur in the above. SAMUEL REED, Grand Lecturer. ROBERT PUNSHON, G. Chaplain of the G. G. R. A. Chapter of the U. S.
