1947 17pp S.R.I.A. stapled booklet. VG.

Paper presented at the General Assembly of the S.R.I.S. which suggests that the opening and closing rituals of the S.R.I.A. (founded in 1867) were adapted from an older body of the Societas Rosicruciana in Scotia (S.R.I.S.) that was operating by 1830, and that its ultimate lineage traces back to the German Golden Rosy Cross of 1776
