Masonic monitor of the degrees of entered apprentice, fellow craft and master mason, together with the ceremony of reception of visitors, instituting and constituting lodges, installations, laying corner stones, dedications, masonic burial, and lodge of sorrow
A Masonic ritual manual compiled by George Thornburgh and published in Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1909, for members of Freemason lodges. Its four pictures are small wood-engraved emblems: a classical scene of two robed figures beside a winged figure, a columned building with workers and carts, a coffin beside a shovel and mallet, and a star enclosing a clasped handshake, each framed by a rough circle or block and useful for vintage ceremonial motifs.
