Tales of Masonic Life

To describe the practice of Masonry is an end that can scarcely fail to command the good wishes of all who love the Craft or the cause. To do it in language simple and easily understood secures a wider range of readers. To select illustrations of an everyday character will be most likely to awaken a spirit of emulation in the minds of readers. These three ideas form the key to this classic Masonic fiction, Tales of Masonic Life, originally published in 1860 and authored by Dr. Rob Morris, a Master Builder of the Order of the Eastern Star.
