Excerpt from Dod's Parliamentary Companion, 1870: Thirty-Eighth Year; The Eighth Parliament of Queen Victoria, Elected November and December, 1868 Brncn this Annual was first undertaken, thirty-eight years have passed away, thirteen administrations have been sum moned to the councils of the Sovereign, ten parliaments have been elected, and nine 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. To describe in any preface or introduction the kind of in formation which may be found iu these pages, is now fortunately a needless task; every reader who is not already well acquainted with its purposes and characteristics, may be safely referred to the Table of Contents for the shortest exposition of its object.
