Publication: circa 1880's [undated] W. Reeves; Charing Cross Road, London
A Ritual and Illustrations of Freemasonry is a 19th-century Masonic work by Avery Allen, first published in 1848. This book serves as a guide to Masonic rituals and features numerous engravings that illustrate the symbols, ceremonies, and teachings of Freemasonry. Additionally, it includes a “Key to the Phi Beta Kappa.” This edition was first published by William Reeves in 1870. This appears to be an early edition, likely from the early 1880s, as several works listed in the catalog bound within it were published around that time.
