‘Nigerian ritual as taught in the Emulation Lodge of Improvement’.
 
From the preface:
 
‘Ritual is one of the most important departments of masonic activity. By means of a beautiful old Ritual we initiate candidates into our very great Order and endeavour by this ritual also to impress on candidates and the brethren generally the lofty ideals for which freemasonry stands.  The more perfectly this ritual is rendered, the more impressive will its effect be on our initiates and the more powerful and lasting will its action be on ourselves.’
