Excerpt from Dod's Parliamentary Companion, 1881: Fiftieth Year; The Tenth Parliament of Queen Victoria, Elected April, 1880 Swen this Annual was first undertaken, fifty years have passed away, fifteen administrations have been summoned to the councils of the Sovereign, twelve parliaments have been elected, and eleven have been dissolved. Within this period imitators and plagiarists without number have too often sought to intercept the just rewards of an original design, and to sustain a precarious existence by borrowing almost every feature of typography, language, and decoration. But the turn of mind which dictated spoliation was naturally incapable of impartiality; and those who appropriated without hesitation the outward features of a successful plan, contributed at least one item to their compilations - the taint of political bias. It is not surprising therefore that this volume, which, during every ministerial vicissitude since the passing of the first Reform Bill, has aimed at avoiding party tendencies, should have succeeded in acquiring public support; and that it should once more appeal to a just and generous body of readers with the con fidence of an enlarged experience and the sanguine energy of a renewed life.
