Chapter V: Part I: contains a set of Rules of Order systematically arranged, as shown in

the Table of Contents. Each one of the forty-five sections is complete in itself, so that no one unfamiliar with the work can be misled in examining any particular subject. Cross references are freely used to save repeating from other sections, and by this means the reader, without using the index, is referred to everything in the Rules of Order that has any bearing upon the subject he is investigating. The references are by sections, and for convenience the numbers of the sections are placed at the top of each page. The motions are arranged under the usual classes, in their order of rank, but in the index under the word motion will be found an alphabetical list of all the motions generally used. In reference to each motion there is stated:

(1) Of what motions it takes precedence (that is, what motions may, be
pending, and yet it be in order to make this motion).
(2) To what motions it yields (that is, what motions may be made while this
motion is pending).
(3) Whether it is debatable or not.
(4) Whether it can be amended or not.
(5) In case the motion can have no subsidiary motion applied to it, the fact
is stated [see Adjourn, § 11, for an example: the meaning is, that the
particular motion to adjourn, for example, cannot be laid on the table,
postponed, committed or amended].
(6) The effect of the motion if adopted.
(7) The form of stating the question when peculiar, and whatever other
information is necessary to enable one to understand the question.
