A Great Collection of Different Rituals

This is a great historic look at the early rituals of the Craft. This book should be in every Freemason's library!

Ducan Ritual

Manual of Freemasnary goes into more detail of what we are suppose to be doing in Freemasonary. It describes what goes on in the Blue lodge as well as the Royal Arch, Knights Templer and the Grand Electrial degrees of freemasonary. That is some of the reason's why I personaly like this book. As you more up the chain the more that you can learn by book knowledge and other ways.
