"A digest of Parliamentary Procedure arranged in a natural order and intended for convention reference and practical use. In the early history of the United States Parliamentary Procedure was based on the rules and customs of the English Parliament. But we as a people have not the respect of the English for customs and precedents; hence we have made such innovations as we think are improvements; and changes are constantly made to the written rules of our legislative bodies. Thus in Congress each house adopts its own rules and consequently the two houses do not always agree in practice." Any image directly beside this listing is the actual book and not a stock photo!.
