This is volume one of two. Dr. Robert B. Folger (1803-1892) was a renowned, but controversial Masonic historian and ritualist. In this photographic reproduction of his classic 1862 first edition, Folger provides not only a rare and important look at the history of the Scottish Rite, but over 400 pages of this massive book are dedicated to documents in support of his positions. The ground breaking opinions, conclusions and evident presented in this book have been praised, denounced and discussed to the present day. The work of Robert B. Folger was so significant and noteworthy that his ritual cipher books were recently published by Arturo de Hoyos and S. Brent Morris in their "Committed to the Flames." This acclaimed and rare work is indispensable to a complete Scottish Rite education.

In 1826 Robert Benjamin Folger, a recent graduate of medical school and a new Master Mason, filled a book with the enciphered Craft rituals of the Rectified Scottish Rite, a high-grade revision of the rite of Strict Observance. well-known in Europe but unknown in the UNited States. His introduction directed thatthe rituals be "committed to the Flames" upon his death. FOrtunatley for Masonic historians instructions were not followed. Folger went on to prepare at least two other books of rituals. A man of tremendous talents, strongpassions, and curious contradictions, Folger was twice expelled from Masonry by the Grand Lodge of New York and participated in at least six clandestine Supreme Councils, but died a Master Mason in good standing. The book gives full transcriptions of all og his rituals, an analysis of their place in Masonry and biographies of Folger and his major contemporaries in his Masonic work.
