A. E. WAITE.

EMBLEMATIC FREEMASONRY.

Unpublished. No date.

11 pages. Large octavo (9 by 6 inch) hardcover, 3/4 leather, faux leather vinyl boards, gilt-stamped spine, marbled endpapers, silk page ribbon.

Text has some typos (SEE BELOW), fine hand-binding inFINE CONDITION.

The text is a modern digital printing of an article by Waite which appeared in Vol. VII, No. 6 (June 1921) of "The Builder", one of the pre-eminent Masonic magazines of the time. The article was titled "Emblematic Freemasonry." Somewhat later, in 1925, William Rider & Son published a full-length book by Waite with the same title and subject. This earlier article, then, can be considered the original kernel of that fully developed book.

This copy, a modern digital printing as mentioned, has been specially bound in a very accomplished leather binding, even using real, hand-made marbled endpapers (nowadays fake copies of marbled endpapers are often substituted for the real thing).

The binding must have cost a pretty penny, and was presumably meant as a gift or presentation, perhaps to a fellow Bro. Unfortunately, it wasn't proofread and corrected before being printed and bound, and is somewhat riddled with typos. That said, the typos are not too terribly distracting, and it could still well serve as a gift or presentation copy.

NOTA BENE: PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION WELL – THIS IS NOT THE FULL-LENGTH BOOK TITLED "EMBLEMATIC FREEMASONRY", BUT IS A COPY OF A SHORT, 11-PAGE MAGAZINE ARTICLE OF THE SAME NAME AND BY THE SAME AUTHOR.
