This is one of the truly important Eastern Star books! Rob Morris, the creator of the Order of the Eastern Star, developed this system for the wives and female relatives of Freemasons. "The Mosaic Book of the American Adoptive Rite" is his early plan, rituals, and structure of what would evolve into the Eastern Star. This book allows us to view the "Pre-Eastern Star" Eastern Star. This is a valuable look into the development and early history of a beloved and worldwide system. Re-typeset and restored from the 1857 edition.
