TESTIMONIALS.
From the New York Independent, March 9, 1882.
“Smith’s Diagram of Parliamentary Rules” is an admirably ingenious simplification of the confused matter of parliamentary practice. By a very simple arrangement, motions of all kinds, in the order of their precedence, are placed in the center, printed in large type, and their relation to every possible rule is indicated by connecting lines. The diagram is accompanied by a key, which, in explaining itself, clears up the subject as well, and gives concise hints and directions for the conduct of deliberative assemblies. Mr. Uriah Smith has put more of the essence of parliamentary practice into small space and lucid order than we find in any other manual.
From J. Warren Keifer, Speaker of the House of
Representatives, Washington.
I have carefully examined the volume, and take pleasure in saying that I regard the work as a very valuable one, and arranged so as to indicate to either the casual reader or even an expert the special as well as general rules controlling a particular motion. Your work seems to have been thoroughly done, and I cheerfully commend it as a vade mecum for parliamentarians.
From Hon. David H. Jerome, Ex-Governor of Michigan.
Can be utilized by a presiding officer at a glance, and without the embarrassing delay necessary to consult ordinary authorities.
From Benj. L. Hewitt, Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Harrisburg, Pa.
