2016 Reprint of 1880 Third and Revised Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This book presents details of Masonic initiation rituals, along with grips, passwords and regalia. Written in the 19th century, it has been republished numerous times and remains a standard work in the field. It includes the three basic degrees of the Ancient York Rite, and four additional advanced degrees. There are over a hundred illustrations, all reproduced here, which show important details of the rituals, including gestures and symbolic pictures. “Duncan's Ritual” is careful to note known variations where they exist. This book will be of interest to beginning Masons who want a roadmap of the craft, as well as experienced Masons who need a review. The work is a fascinating exploration of the theories and practices of the world's most enduring secret society.

Duncan and explained and interpreted through copious notes and numerous original engravings.
