This history supplies a real need of American Freemasons and the Royal Arch Craft, for no volume has been published on this side of the Atlantic which would give Royal Arch Masons of the Western Hemisphere the history of the Royal Arch degree and its associated degrees. Volume I is confined largely to the beginnings of the Rite, the development of its ritual, the formation of grand chapters, and finally, the formation of the General Grand Chapter, which now constitutes the largest single body of Freemasons under one banner.
