Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed collection of rules and regulations, governing conduct, speeches, and debates, for 19th-century Canadian Parliamentarians. Originally established in 1860 by a select committee, the rules were gradually revised and expanded to reflect changing parliamentary practices and customs. The author, who we can assume was a member of this select committee, provides historical context for each rule as well as insights into the broader theme of parliamentary decorum and procedure of the time. Ultimately, this book is a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of 19th-century Canadian politics. Its precise and granular rules offer a unique opportunity to understand the historical evolution of parliamentary procedure.
