Elements of the Law and Practice of Legislative Assemblies in the United States of America: Luther Stearns Cushing
Introduction by L A Abraham, Formerly Principal Clerk of the Committees in the House of Commons and Geoffrey Bing
‘At the time that Cushing started to prepare his monumental work, there was no general treatise on parliamentary or congressional procedure. Cushing’s Manual and his larger work are primarily based on the procedure of the British Parliament in the stage of development which it had reached in the first half of the nineteenth century.
At this time, this knowledge of British practice was essential. The procedure of the legislative bodies of the thirteen American colonies was originally modelled upon that of the British Parliament, although, significantly, there had already developed some important divergences, particularly in regard to financial business.’
‘One of the great parliamentary treatises whose practical value is likely always to continue.’

The Manner of Holding Parliaments in England: Henry Elsynge
Preface by The Lord Chancellor The Rt. Hon.Lord Hailsham of Saint Marylebone
Introduction by Geoffrey Bing
‘This edition will be all the more valuable because it reproduces on opposite pages the original manuscript text of c.1626 and on the other Tyrwhitt’s text of 125 years later.
Henry Elsynge the elder, Clerk of the Parliaments in succession to his uncle, Robert Bowyer, from 1621 to 1635, was one of the first and greatest of a succession of practising clerks and scholars from whose labours through the centuries both Houses of Parliament have benefited greatly...The text here reprinted is the beginning of a work which was never finished but intended, I believe, to be comprehensive and consecutive.’
