Masonry, or Freemasonry, is a 600-year-old fraternity with a 3,000-year-old tradition. The oldest, largest, and most widely known fraternal organization in the world, it is the prototype of most modern fraternal societies and service organizations. Freemasonry and its Etiquette has long been the standard reference book for the individual Mason who wants to improve his knowledge of the fraternity, both the early history and the actual work that takes place within every regular and well-governed lodge. Written by a member of a London Lodge, the Mother Grand Lodge of all Masonry, its carefully detailed and explicit suggestions are applicable to all English-speaking lodges throughout the world. Among the many facets of fraternity life covered are: * Who are fit and proper persons to be made masons? * What is a Lodge of Freemasons? * Who are the Lodge officers and what are their duties? * Ritual * The Ceremonies * Concordant Bodies Well written, in a lively and readable style, Freemasonry and its Etiquette is a necessary and valuable addition to the working library of anyone interested in the actual happenings within a masonic lodge.Campbell-Everden, William Preston is the author of 'Freemasonry and Its Etiquette' with ISBN 9780517259146 and ISBN 0517259141.
