Excerpt from The House of Commons: Illustrations of Its History and Practice That the parliamentary constituencies may fairly appreciate the responsibilities which they impose upon their representatives, and that our households may become better acquainted with the characteristic features of the House of Commons, are the motives which have prompted this publication. Although neither to carp at, nor to pass compliments upon that assembly, is the writer's intention, yet, if, in any degree, he can enhance that loyalty and reverential association which Parliament can justly claim, there is surely no one who would cavil at such a result. Still, on the one hand, as even the House of Commons is not all perfect, a remarkable departure from its wiser and more ancient ways has been noticed, and a calculation is added, at the end of the book, which shows how a very considerable portion of last session was occupied. And, on the other hand, if the conduct of our legislators is, in any way, liable to misconstruction, the removal of that chance of error has been attempted.
