Murray's have published the third volume of Disraeli's life. It quotes some remarkable prophecies. Disraeli told Cobden in 1848 that it was madness to expect universal peace because of the fact that America and England were rich and contented. Wars were not made by such powers, but by a race, or a prince, who was agitating for such a position. Disraeli, with rare prescience, when the Sehleswig dispute began in 1848, brushed aside the o^ten- 1 . sible pretexts for Prussia's action, and pointed out that it meant an eventual challenge to England, Hrpon the sea. He further predicted that the intellectual march of atheism may lead to a revival of national idolatries, modified and mythically dressed up, according to the spirit of the age. This finds its fulfilment in Nietzsche's Germany.
