A Pennsylvania Masonic Handbook: The Personal Ahiman Rezon - Paperback

by Robert E. Burtt (Author)

A handbook for newly raised Pennsylvania Freemasons. Contains hints, information, and advice for those Masons living in the "Keystone State." This Book attempts to answer questions many new Freemasons have asked themselves: "What do I do now? What are my options? Where can I contribute my talents?" Too often, new members have to search for answers to these questions on their own. This handbook offers practical advice, pointers on ritual, and thumbnail explorations of Masonic customs, history, and ritual. Written for the new Freemason, it contains much that would interest the general reader seeking information about "The Craft."

Mr. Burtt is also the author of "Rome: A Commonplace Book," an exploration of the sights, sounds, and legends of the "Eternal City."
