About this title

Synopsis

The General Ahiman Rezon And Freemason's Guide: Containing Monitorial Instructions In The Degrees Of Entered Apprentice, Fellow-Craft And Master Mason by Daniel Sickels is a comprehensive 19th-century manual on Freemasonry. It compiles ritual instructions, monitorial lectures, and ceremonies for the three degrees of Freemasonry—Entered Apprentice, Fellow-Craft, and Master Mason. This work also features a Ritual for a Lodge of Sorrow, dedicated to memorial services, along with an appendix that includes Masonic documents, trials, and forms. It elaborates on lodge governance, initiations, and processions, presenting the Origin and Government of the Fraternity, details on Lodge structure and membership, prayers, oaths, and symbolic teachings through emblems such as the Bible, Square, and Compasses. Additionally, it includes a substantial suite of ceremonial rites, including the Legend of the Winding Stairs, funeral services, and grand lodge installations, as well as a collection of forms for petitions, dispensations, warrants, charters, trials, and appeals. The 1871 edition documents the historical practices and symbols of Freemasonry, while the 2019 reprint preserves the complete monograph for modern readers and researchers.
