The cyclopædia of fraternities; a compilation of existing authentic information..
A late nineteenth-century reference compiled by Albert Clark Stevens and published in 1899 in New York and Paterson, New Jersey, cataloguing secret societies and fraternal orders for a general readership. Its pictures are plain black-and-white diagrams: a genealogical tree of lodge origins, a crowded map of United States jurisdictions, and shaded territorial maps, offering a designer ready models for information graphics, dense labelled charts and hand-drawn cartography.
