520			_aThe most precious wealth that the member countries of the Commonwealth hold in common is their faith in parliamentary polity, institutions and processes. A study of the working of these institutions, scattered over six continents, confirms this belief while also underlining the fact that within the Common wealth, there are parliamentary institutions of wide and varied intensity and range. The articles included in the present work seek to cover the national Parliaments of all the Common wealth countries and profile their organisation and functioning. Besides, a chapter providing a broad analytical view of some special features of different Parliaments has also been added to enhance the reference value of the work. A tabular statement at the end gives useful information about the structure of Parliaments in the comity of Commonwealth nations. Distinguished contributors to this volume include the Clerks or Secretaries-General of their respective Parliaments. Truely as a result of Commonwealth cooperation, this book is yet another example of what can be achieved through such cooperation. Different chapters of this work together make a fascinating reading in comparative parliamentary political science and more particularly in the field of parliamentary institutions and procedures of Common wealth Parliaments. Parliaments and parliamentarians and all those interested in the functioning of the Commonwealth and parliamentary institutions and in comparative study of parliamentary systems, their practices and procedures, would find the volume handy and informative.
