Les plus secrets mystères des hauts grades de la maçonnerie dévoilés, ou le vrai Rose-Croix, traduit de l'anglois; suivi du Noachite, trad. de l'allemand

New edition, following the original published in 1766 in Berlin.

It is illustrated with a large folding plate containing 22 Masonic emblems. The first edition includes a frontispiece; it is possible that it is lacking in this later edition.
Contemporary half red shagreen binding, circa 1860, spine with flat false raised bands decorated with gilt fillets, red shagreen title label, some rubbing, particularly at the head.

Title page browned. Some foxing.
The work opens with a history of Freemasonry, followed by a detailed study of the seven following Scottish high degrees: Perfect Elected Mason, Elected of P., Elected of the Fifteen, Little Architect, Grand Architect, Knight of the Sword and Rose-Croix, Noachite or Prussian Knight.
The Noachite is the work of Karl Fr. von Köppen.
