Second (enlarged) edition. " 'Key-Stone' Mark Masonry, which is the form practiced in England at the present day, is divided into two main ritual families, and in one or other shaoe is a necessary qualification of a Candidate for Exaltation in the Royal Arch under every Masonic Obedience in the world, except that of England and Constitutions directly deriving from the United Grand Lodge, where only the first three Degrees, "including the Supreme Order of the Holy Royal Arch", are recognised. Because of this non-recognition of the Mark Degree the position of Mark Masonry in the Masonic System is somewhat obscured in the English group of Obediences." (Introduction). pp.x./pp.122 , black & white frontispiece - "Tracing-Board of dke of Connaught mark Lodge, No. 246" + 15 further black & white plates. Crimson cloth with sunning to board edges and spine. Gilt titles to front and spine. VG. Seller Inventory # 48820
