Duncan´s Masonic Ritual and Monitor (Hardcover)
Traditional Ritual
Lodge Reference
Symbols & Grips
Duncan’s Masonic Ritual and Monitor has been a steady presence in Masonic lodges for generations. Published in the 19th century by Malcolm C. Duncan, it offers a clear and faithful outline of the three symbolic degrees as practiced in American Freemasonry: Entered Apprentice, Fellow Craft, and Master Mason.
This volume is not speculative or interpretative—it simply records, with precision, the words, signs, and customs used in the Lodge. For many officers and brethren, it’s been a practical reference and a way to revisit the ritual with clarity and respect for tradition.
It’s not a book of theory, but a working tool—still opened, studied, and handed down.
