Riassunto

Excerpt from A Manual of Legislative Practice and Order of Business in Deliberative Bodies

Having for several years occupied a seat in the House of Representatives of Pennsyl vania, and having presided over that body and since served as State Senator, it occurred to me, that a work on the Practice and Me thod of proceeding adopted in the two branches of the General Assembly would not be unacceptable to the members. The excel lent Manual of Thomas J efl'erson contains the landmarks of order, and must always be a useful guide but it is well known to all con versant with the business of public bodies, that it does not supply all that is wanting to State Legislatures. The Manual I present is intended as far as practicable to explain the detail so necessary to a new member, and to note the exact words which custom has sanctioned in the order of business. In the short time allotted for this work, it cannot be expected to be perfect; yet I shall be greatly disappointed, if it does not prove serviceable to the members.
