This photographic reproduction of the classic and rare 1872 edition was translated into English by J. Fletcher Brennan, who along with Albert Mackey, edited the American Freemason. This highly significant work is important for a rounded Masonic education. Without question, it should be in the library of all Freemasons. As with all Masonic history books of this time, Rebold's work should be read with caution, but this book is indispensable to a rounded understanding of Freemasonry in the 1800's.
