Excerpt from The Text Book of Cryptic Masonry: A Manual of Instructions in the Degree of Royal Master, Select Master and Super-Excellent Master The present work has been compiled as a "Text Book" for Officers and Companions of Councils of Royal and Select Masters. That such a Manual has long been needed, will be acknowledged by all conversant with Cryptic Masonry. The manuscript was submitted to our late M. P. Rev. Charles H. Platt, G. M., for his examination, and received his unqualified approval. It has been arranged in strict conformity to the work as approved by him, and adopted by the Grand Council of Royal and Select Masters of the State of New York, and is respectfully submitted to the fraternal consideration of Cryptic Companions, wheresoever dispersed.
