THE LIFE OF BENJAMIN DISRAELI

“The Life of Benjamin Disraeli, Earl of Beaconsfield,” by William Flavellc Monypenny and George Earle Buckle, new edition in two volumes, revised by George Earle Buckle, with 16 photograuvurcs. Demy Bvo, 21s net. (Has just been published in London by Murray). Owing to the adoption of very thin, but durable paper, the whole of the letterpress of the original six volumes, including prefaces and appendices, i s given within two volumes. Nothing has been omitted except a certain number of the illustrations. Mr Buckl e has carefully revised thc work throughout, but solely with the view of correcting mistakes, making needed explanations, and adding such new facts of importance—in themselves extremely few—as have come to light since the original publication. Lord Ernie, in The Times writes: “The value of the biography can never be superseded. It must always remain the final authority on the full career of Disraeli.”
