"Robert's Rules of Order" by Henry M. Robert is a comprehensive guide on parliamentary procedure, written in the late 19th century. The manual is designed to detail the rules and practices of conducting meetings in deliberative assemblies, such as societies and conventions, based largely on the procedures of Congress. It aims to provide clarity on the organization of meetings, the responsibilities of officers, and the proper way to make motions and conduct debate. The opening of the manual outlines the structure and purpose of the work, explaining the importance of having a systematic approach to parliamentary law that is adaptable to various discussions and decision-making bodies. It elaborates on the necessity of having defined rules to ensure order and efficiency during meetings, emphasizing that such guidelines promote the collaborative effort of a group while preventing disorder. The text also introduces the manual's overall plan, splitting it into distinct parts for easy reference—rules of order for formal procedures and practical explanations for everyday application in meetings.

Reading ease score: 56.6 (10th to 12th grade). Somewhat difficult to read.
