Volume II. contains from 1845 to 1868, both years inclusive.
In the Fall of 1837—years before the establishment of The Tribune—the October elections having developed a popular uprising against the Jackson-Van Buren dynasty, which had for ten years seemed invincible, I was moved to issue a POLITICAL REGISTER for 1838, intended mainly to embody the election returns of that year, and compare them with those of some preceding year. The reception of that little annual was such as to justify its reproduction for each succeeding year—that of 1842 only excepted—until the issue for 1868 completed a series of thirty Annual Registers of Election Returns, with other useful political and statistical matter. This annual has been known successively as The Politician's Register, Whig Almanac, and Tribune Almanac, under which last name it has been issued for several years past. The stereotyped plates of the earlier issues having been consumed in the fire which destroyed the Tribune Building in 1845, it has for some years past been impossible to procure full sets of the work at any rate, and the imperfect sets from time to time thrown upon the market have commanded fabulous prices.
