Cornerstone Publishers. Originally Printed, 1870
Notes by Travis Simpkins

     Good source material and instructional guides related to the Cryptic Degrees of York Rite Freemasonry are hard to find. Fortunately, thanks to Cornerstone Book Publishers, The Text Book of Cryptic Masonry by Jackson H. Case remains in print. It is an invaluable resource, providing integral parts of the Degrees of Royal Master, Select Master and Super-Excellent Master. Prayers and lectures are combined with monitorial instruction in this text, which should be required reading for students of the York Rite.

From the book cover: 

     A Manual of Instructions in the Degrees of Royal Master, Select Master and Super-Excellent Master. Together with the ceremonies of Installing the Officers, Constituting and Dedicating a Council, and Installing the Officers of a Grand Council. Originally published in 1870.
