I'm afraid there doesn't seem to be any help on the net.
If you can order one of these books through a library, you 
might find out more:

"Dod’s Electoral Facts, fully ‘Electoral Facts from 1832 
to 1853 Impartially Stated’, 1853, was reprinted by 
Harvester Press in 1972. It contains all elections from 
1832 to 1853, together with statistics on the electorate 
and the influence possessed by various patrons in each 
constituency. The reprint also contains an invaluable 
bibliographic guide to studies of the electoral history of 
individual constituencies."

"McCalmont’s Parliamentary Poll Book was published in 
seven editions between 1879 and 1910. It covers all 
elections from 1832. The seventh edition was republished by 
Harvester Press in 1971 with extra material bringing it up 
to the dissolution of Parliament in 1918. It also contains 
a sadly incomplete list of errata."

This is the entry for an earlier edition in the British Library

Here's a better link (I hope) for the Dod book:
