| Summary | "Manual of Parliamentary Practice" by Luther Stearns Cushing is a guidebook on parliamentary procedure written in the mid-19th century. This manual provides a comprehensive overview of the rules, proceedings, and debates in deliberative assemblies, aimed particularly at non-legislative bodies while being applicable to legislative assemblies as well. The text is intended to serve as a practical resource for those involved in decision-making processes within various types of organizations. The opening portion of the manual establishes its purpose and foundational principles of parliamentary procedure. Cushing notes that the work is a condensed version of a more extensive treatise on parliamentary law and emphasizes the need for a systematic approach to ensure effective deliberations. He discusses the importance of proper organization within assemblies and outlines various preliminary matters, such as establishing a quorum, understanding the roles of officers, and recognizing the rights and duties of members. This section sets the stage for a more detailed examination of rules and motions that will be elaborated upon in subsequent chapters, reflecting the manual's structured approach to parliamentary practice.
