Summary: An excellent book to keep in your coat pocket, backpack etc.
Comment: This book perfectly describes the first 3 Degrees of Blue Lodges and describes the 4 other degrees of the York Rite. Makes good reading.
Rating: 4
Summary: Subtle Completeness
Comment: IMHO this book is "must" reading both for those in Blue Lodges to get a glimpse of the lower level of the York Rite and members of Royal Arch Chapters for a comprehensive review of what they have been shown. An excellent gift for these.
Rating: 4
Summary: Interesting look into the rituals of the late 19th century
Comment: This variation on Masonic monitors was dated even for its day, and is most interesting for the inevitable differences found across geographic areas at that time. It's still an interesting read and several of the illustrations are unique.
Masons will find the differences with today's ceremonies mildly distracting. At the same time I was impressed how the overall feel has been maintained over time. Even more valued to me is that the reader is given the opportunity to understand the reasons for the symbols and ritual.
For the interested non-Mason I think you'll find interesting insights into ceremonies that are intended to bring men together for common cause. It's easy for many to focus on the details of the ceremonies as outlined in Monitors like this.
But do some comparative reading with this text and you'll appreciate the psychology of self-discovery through fraternity with good people. One good subject for comparative reading is Simon's Standard Masonic Monitor.
I very much encourage casual readers to this text. Scholars are encouraged to seek out original editions provided by credentialed antiquarian bookdealers.
