Excerpt from Parliamentary Practice: An Introduction to Parliamentary Law The result is this volume, Parliamentary Practice An Introduction to Parliamentary Law, which is designed as an introduction to the two other books. Its characteristic feature is the illustration of nearly every point in common parliamentary practice by giv ing the exact words Of both the chairman and the member through the procedure. Neither this book nor Parliamentary Law should be adopted by organiza tions as their parliamentary authority or their rules Of order. Rules of Order is designed for that particular purpose, and it is the author's Opinion that every owner of Rules Of Order Revised will find its value greatly enhanced if this introductory book is first mastered.
