This book is ANTI-MASONIC!!! If you are a Freemason, do not purchase this book or attempt to use it to edify yourself or your lodge. Edmund Ronayne was a fool, incapable of understanding symbolism and when he became a protestant Christian he lashed out ignorantly at his former fellow Freemasons and also Catholics. While this book is formed nearly robotically and appears at a glance to be a ritual monitor, it is a fraud and anyone who uses it is damned to bare the shameful moniker of "book mason" or "clandestine."
