CARTWRIGHT, Dr E.H.: Masonic Ritual: A Commentary on the Freemasonic Ritual. , London: Lewis Masonic,1985.Third edition. "Perhaps the most important aspect to be considered about the book is the circumstances which caused much of his venomous comment on the ritual book 'The Perfect Ceremonies', which purported to give the Emulation working, and on the Emulation Lodge of Improvement where that working was demonstrated and controlled....This book has a place in history as a side comment on the lamentable 20-year quarrel between Emulation and Stability; contains a reasoned examination of several ritual workings as carried out in the first quarter of the twentieth century; and makes some provocative comments on the nature of the differences in ritual generally and the way that it is, or should be in his opinion, worked."
