• Class [A] consists of books of which may be changed not so much as the style of a letter: that is, they represent the utterance of an Adept entirely beyond the criticism of even the Visible Head of the Organization.
• Class [B] consists of books or essays which are the result of ordinary scholarship, enlightened and earnest.
• Class [C] consists of matter which is to be regarded rather as suggestive than anything else.
• Class [D] consists of the Official Rituals and Instructions.
• Class [E] consists of manifestos, broadsides, epistles and other public statements. Some publications are composite, and pertain to more than one class.
