Fascinating compilation of rules and laws relating to procedures in the British Parliament, as passed in the 17th and 18th centuries - as noted in the preface, "The Importance of this Book is so great, that whosoever peruses it, will find himself interested in it, as the Word Privilege is as Powerful as the Word Law..."
