Duncan's Masonic Ritual and Monitor

Malcolm C. Duncan’s work is a practical handbook of Masonic ritual, lectures, and ceremonial forms, widely used in the 19th century as a reference for lodge practice. It is historically significant as one of the best-known American monitors, and readers will find outlines of degrees, catechisms, charges, and explanations of symbols and procedures.

Malcolm C. Duncan is best known as the compiler of *The Little Giant Encyclopedia of the Universe* and, more importantly in esoteric circles, for *Duncan's Masonic Ritual and Monitor* (1866). His work is significant chiefly as a widely used nineteenth-century presentation of Masonic ritual and symbols.
