Practical Argumentation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. One new feature has been added. In many col leges there is a growing desire to teach the elements of parliamentary law along with argumentation. For this reason the author has inserted a chapter which explains briefly the kinds of motions that may come before a deliberative assembly. The table of parliamentary motions showing when each motion is in order, what motions are debatable, and what motions require a two-thirds'' vote to be carried, should be especially valuable.
