" We have before us a trusty and ready guide' to the events of the past 

 thirty years, available equally for the statesman, the politician, the public 

 writer, and the general reader. If Mr. Irving' s object has been to bring 

 before the reader all the most noteworthy occurrences which have happened 

 since the beginning of Her Majesty 's reign, he may justly claim the credit 

 of having done so most briefly, succinctly, and simply, and in such a 

 manner, too, as to furnish him with the details necessary in each case to 

 comprehend the event of which he is in search in an intelligent manner. 

 Reflection will serve to show the great value of such a work as this to the 

 journalist and statesman, and indeed to every one who feels an interest in 

 the progress of the age ; and we may add that its value is considerably 

 increased by the addition of that most important of all appendices, an 

 accurate and instructive index." -TIMES.
