Parliamentary Manual.

By Editor

If any of our readers wish to "get the best" they will send fifty cents to Uriah Smith, Battle Creek, Michigan, and get a splendid little book on Parliamentary rules, which will be sure to give satisfaction. The manuals heretofore published, need so much study to become acquainted with the rules, that only a few, comparatively, have ever acquired such a knowledge of the subject as to be at home as chairman of a meeting, or to know how to act as an active member of an assembly.
The diagram in this little manual of Elder Smith shows at a glance the exact relation that any given motion or rule sustains to every other one. With this diagram before him a person could make no mistake on the most intricate points of Parliamentary practice, even though he had had little or no experience before. It is a gem which will be thankfully received by every person who is called upon to preside over a deliberative assembly.
