The Ritual of Craft Freemasonry as practiced in the city of Oxford and in Oxfordshire in General

First published in 1908, the M M Taylor’s Handbook for Craft Freemasonry is a wonderful example of traditional English ritual. The ritual itself is known for it inclusiveness and detail and is a pleasure to read or to perform. This volume contains the large print edition of the ritual produced under the authority of The Taylor’s Ritual Association and includes the official Taylor’s version of the Three Degrees of Craft Freemasonry and the Installation Ceremony with notes and guidelines on ritual procedure and practice. 2008. In Hardback.

The Logic Ritual Association guide to the Craft Installation is a natural follow-on from, and companion to, its updated 2016 book of Craft Ceremonies. Using the same style of highly detailed rubric, this new work covers all the standard variations of the Installation Ceremony, some of which cause frequent confusion amongst even the most experienced Past Masters. Clear guidance is given, not only for the standard Installation of a ‘first-time’ Master but also for the Installation of a Past Master and the continuation of the Master’s tenure for a second year. The full text of all necessary Addresses and presentations is included, as well as useful appendices containing the Ancient Charges and Regulations which must be agreed to by the Master Elect, plus a list of Lodge Officers, in their correct order, showing the clear distinction between regular and additional Officers. The Openings and Closings in the Second and the Third Degree are included, so that everything needed by an Installing Master is contained within its covers, eliminating any need to carry multiple books or small scraps of paper while studying for your Installation meeting. The wide-ranging contents and thorough rubric make this book valuable to all Freemasons, regardless of the flavour of ritual practised within your Lodge.
