The book is preserved in its original printed paper wraps (softcover) with a reinforced cloth spine and contains numerous pages of printed musical scores and lyrics. The simple cream-colored cover features elegant Victorian typography and decorative borders, while the interior includes an index and a wide selection of musical compositions written specifically for Freemasonry. Copyrighted in 1890, this publication represents an important piece of late 19th-century Masonic history and American fraternal culture. It is an excellent addition for collectors of Masonic books, fraternal organization memorabilia, antique sheet music, Oliver Ditson publications, and Victorian Americana.
