1888-1890 Bound volume of Proceedings of the Holy Royal Arch Chapter of PA
Philadelphia: Printed for the Grand Chapter of Pennsylvania, 1889, 1890, 1891. Hardcover. 3 volumes bound in one. 8vo, 8.5 x 6.5 inches, bound in half red leather and charcoal black cloth boards, good with some wear, rubbing and light stains to covers, but still firmly bound, contents very good; the original paper covers of these Proceedings have NOT been bound in. 264, 111, 137 (4) pp; only the last volume has any illustrations; it has a wood engraved view of Masonic Hall in Philadelphia as frontispiece and engraved portrait plates of Alexander Morgan and Thomas Patton. The Royal Arch represents a Masonic degree. In the United States, Canada, Brazil, Israel, Mexico, Paraguay and the Philippines, the Royal Arch is not worked as a stand-alone degree as described above, but forms part of the York Rite system of additional Masonic degrees. Royal Arch Masons in the York Rite also meet as a Chapter, but the Royal Arch Chapter of the York Rite confers four different degrees: 'Mark Master Mason', 'Virtual Past Master', 'Most Excellent Master', and 'Royal Arch Mason'. While the York Rite degree of 'Royal Arch Mason' is roughly comparable to the Supreme Order of the Royal Arch as practised in England and Wales, the other degrees may have equivalents in other appendant orders. Good. Item #H39858
