A "must" book for the library of serious Parliamentarians !

Parliamentary Law is General Henry M. Robert's (the original author of Robert's Rules of Order) masterwork. The book was only released shortly before his death in 1923. This work is considered to be the good General's definite explanatory treatment of parliamentary procedure. It contains much valuable information available in no other volume, particularly in the "Question-and-Answer" section.`This book is a "must" for the library of every professional parliamentarian and every serious student of parliamentary procedure.' -- Henry M. Robert III (the grandson of the General and presently a member of the team of authors of the current edition of Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised)`To write a book to meet the wants of those desirous of becoming thoroughly familiar with parliamentary law.'
