Detailing the rules, precedents, and customs governing legislative sessions, the book provides practical guidance on parliamentary procedure, committee operations, and the enactment of laws.

Authored by William Stowe, George T Sleeper, and James W Kimball, with contributions from the General Court itself, this volume encapsulates the institutional knowledge necessary for effective participation in Massachusetts' legislative process. Its enduring value lies in its detailed record of 19th-century governance and its insights into the foundations of American legislative tradition.
