Dod's Parliamentary Companion, 1906. (Whittaker and Co. 3s. 6d. net.)—A
House of Commons in which there are "over three hundred Members who did not sit in the last Parliament" gives a special interest and value to this, the eighty-second issue of the Parliamentary Companion. The "Contents" contain practically all that one wants to know about the elections, the Members, the rules and etiquette of the House, &c. Readers who may be interested in election arithmetic after studying Dod's figures must not fail to compare with them the calculation put forth by an ingenious Tariff Reformer. He takes the Unionist vote, the whole Irish electorate, and the unpolled electors, reckons them as not having pronounced for Free-trade, compares the number thus . obtained with the three million odd who voted for the Liberals, and finds that they make a large majority. Well does M. Yves Onyot speak of the "comedy of Protection."
