Summary
For use in U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, signed by John Floyd of Virginia. 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.
