Duncan\'s Ritual and Monitor of FreemasonryMasonic Ritual and MonitorORGuide to the Three Symbolic Degrees of the Ancient York RiteAnd To The Degrees of Mark Master, Past Master, Most Excellent Master, and the Royal ArchBY Malcolm C. DuncanExplained and Interpreted by Copious Notes and Numerous EngravingsTHE objects which Freemasonry was founded to subserve are honorable and laudable; nor is it intended in the following pages to disparage the institution or to undervalue its usefulness.

But such, as Old Stapleton says, in \'Jacob Faithful, \' is human nature. The object of the Order in making a profound mystery of its proceedings is obvious enough. Sea-birds are not more in-variably attracted toward a lighted beacon on a dark night, than men to whatever savors of mystery. Curiosity has had a much greater influence in swelling the ranks of Masonry than philanthropy and brotherly love. The institution, however, is now sufficiently popular to stand upon its own merits, without the aid of clap-trap, so via the mantle that shadowed Borgia.It will be observed by the initiated, that the following expo
