DIGEST AND MANUAL OF THE RULES AND PRACTICE OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, IN WHICH IS ALSO INCLUDED THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WITH THE AMENDMENTS THERETO, AND SO MUCH OF JEFFERSON'S MANUAL OF PARLIAMENTARY PRACTICE AS UNDER RULE XLIV GOVERNS THE HOUSE, THE STANDING RULES AND ORDERS FOR CONDUCTING BUSINESS IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES; TABLES SHOWING COMMENCEMENT AND TERMINATION OF EACH SESSION OF CONGRESS WITH NAME OF SPEAKER AND CLERK, OF APPORTIONMENT OF REPRESENTATIVES IN CONGRESS FROM 1787, AND FORMATION OF STATES AND TERRITORIES, OF THE POPULATION OF THE UNITED STATES UNDER THE NINTH AND TENTH CENSUSES, AND LIST OF MEMBERS AND DELEGATES, AND ALSO OF THE COMMITTEES OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE FIRST SESSION OF THE FORTY-NINTH CONGRESS.
