Look to the East

<p>The complete work of the Entered Apprentice Fellow-craft and Master-mason's Degrees with their ceremonies lectures etc. It has doubtless been a matter of comment and surprise among the Members of the Fraternity that all the books which are avowedly intended to serve as guides to the Work of a Lodge invariably contain more or less than their professed object demands. They are usually deficient in the very points that may be most needed rendering the use of a separate Monitor unavoidable; while on the other hand they include a great deal of information on matters with which every Mason is necessarily perfectly familiar and which it is neither needful nor desirable to be communicated to the uninitiated. It has been the aim of the Compiler of this little volume to avoid both these defects: first by omitting all Passwords Grips and other esoteric subjects; and second by giving the Work of the first three degrees monitorially as well as ritually complete in plain language for ready reference and entirely free from the tedious perplexities of cypher or other arbitrary and unintelligible contractions.</p>
