This book was written for the purpose of showing what the Egyptian Masonic Rite of Memphis really is; as some of the Craft have not had the advantages of Masonic libraries, and have been made to believe that it is an innovation on the other Rites or Systems.... The Masonic order of Memphis is...the sole depository of high Masonic science, the true primitive rite, the supreme rite, that which has come down to us without any alteration.... In fine, the Rite of Memphis is the true Masonic tree, and all other systems, whatever they may be, are only detached branches of this institution, rendered respectable by its vast antiquity. This book is THE ONLY HISTORICAL WORK IN PRINT COVERING THE EVOLUTION OF THE RITE OF MEMPHIS IN THE UNITED STATES by one of its original members and leaders. It includes the complete texts of documents not obtainable elsewhere and also fascinating extracts from numerous rituals of the Rite of Memphis (including the Rose Croix) before it was abbreviated by Harry J. Seymour and/or John Yarker. Also included are the complete texts of the Forty-third Degree, Adept Installator, Forty-fourth Degree, Grand Consecrator, and Forty-fifth Degree, Grand Eulogist rituals.

An Excellent Resource,
This review is from: Egyptian Masonic History of the Original and Unabridged Ancient and Ninety-six 96th Degree Rite of Memphis (Paperback)
The most complete rendition of the Rite of Memphis. It is a fascinating account both historically and for the beauty of the rituals.

Rare book on Memphis Rite of Freemasonry,
By Corey Wicks (Spokane) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Egyptian Masonic History of the Original and Unabridged Ancient and Ninety-six 96th Degree Rite of Memphis (Paperback)
Don't bother looking elsewhere for this book, you're not likely to find it. I've found that Kessinger Publishing has many many books you won't find elsewhere. This book offers a rare glimpse into what was going on in the obscure Memphis Rite of Freemasonry around 1870. Burt, the Grand Master of the Rite, defends retaining 96 degrees in the Memphis Rite when the French Grand Lodge wanted to reduce it to 33 degrees. Interesting reading for those with a taste for Masonic history.

Memphis is not the true egyptian rite,
This review is from: Egyptian Masonic History of the Original and Unabridged Ancient and Ninety-six 96th Degree Rite of Memphis (Paperback)
Memphis is not the true rite of Egypt ! Why ? because these degrees are pure creation from nothing by Marconis de Negre. A joke for children. The true egyptian rites will give you the Arcana Arcanorum from the Scale of Napoli : teachings and practice about internal Alchemy and Laboratory Alchemy inherited from Ancient Gnostics of Alexandria ... May be you can obtain the A A with the Misraim Rite or the Gold und Rosenkreuzer Rosicrcians or the degrees of Magister Templi and Magus of the Golden Dawn...
