Rare first edition of this Masonic handbook, intended for internal lodge use rather than public circulation. The work presents a brief moral programme of Freemasonry, structured around duties toward God, the soul the stat and mankind. “als Manuscript für Brüder” is explicitely stated which suggests restricted lodge use, not commercial distribution. These texts were often printed in very small numbers and are rarely found in the trade. Biblioteca Danica II, 1081.
