The Author - "My Masonic readers have overheard those engrossing snippets of conversation that seem to occur so frequently at the Festive Board of a Craft lodge where reference is made to the 'Mariners', 'the KT' or 'the Cryptic'. Enquiry is rewarded with the explanation that they are other degrees, but generally there is little further information forthcoming and one is left with a feeling of awakened, yet ungratified curiosity. This book attempts to produce a condensed, yet comprehensive text of information regarding the various Masonic orders at work in England today."
