For use in U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, signed by John Floyd of Virginia. Second edition. One of Jefferson's scarcer works, published shortly after he took office as president. The Virginia polymath sets forth rules of order and procedure - probably more dictating to the legislature than would be tolerated these days. Jefferson's rules are still in use today. (188 pp.) Shaw & Shoemaker 25741, 27126. Sabin 35887. Bound with: the U.S. Constitution (43 pp.), Rules for Conducting Business in the Senate (13 pp.), Rules... in the House (25 pp.).
