A Novel. 

 By the Right Honorable BENJAMIN DISRAELI, 



Late Prime Minister of Great Britain. 



"Nosse haec omnia salus est adolescentulis." TEREXTIUS. 



After a silence of twenty-three years (his last work, " Tancred," was published in 1847), this 

 eminent English novelist reappears with a work in his best style. ' Lothair" has all the 

 nrilliant wit, the keen and sparkling satire, and the refined grace, of the most popular of 

 irs predecessors. It deals with current topics of the deepest interest with Feuianism, 

 Ritualism, the Catholic Question, the intrigues of the Jesuits, etc., etc. 



NOTICES OF THE PRESS. 



" There is not a fast character, a fast trait, or a fast phrase, in the whole of ' Lothair,' yet 

 the story is a story of yesterday almost of to-day and comes fresh and warm from the au- 

 thor's study. . . ' Lothair ' will be read by the whole world, will provoke immense dis- 

 cussion, and will greatly deepen the interest with which the author's own character, genius, 

 and career, have long been contemplated by the nation." London Daily News. 



" ' Lotliair ' gives proof of rare originality, versatility, flexibility, force, and freshness. One 

 can only glance over the merits of a novel so pregnant with thought and character, nor would 

 we wish to do more were it possible. We should be very sorry to weaken the interest that 

 must accompany the perusal of the book. We had thought Mr. Disraeli dared a great deal 

 in risking his reputation on another novel, but now that we have read it we do not feel called 

 upon to pay him many compliments on his courage. As he wrote he must have felt that 

 the risk was illusory, and assured himself that his powers had brightened instead of rusting 

 in half a lifetime of repose." London Times. 



"As a series of brilliant sketches of character, with occasional digressions into abstract 

 and specnlative topics, ' Lothair ' need not fear comparison with the most sparkling of its 

 author's previous works." London Observer. 



"Nothing of the original verve of Mr. Disraeli's style has been lost by the lapse of years. 

 Fresh as 'Coningsby,' vigorous as ' Vivian Grey,' tender as 'Henrietta Temple, enthralling 

 as ' Tancred,' humorous as any of his former works, ' Lothair, 1 apart from the interest attach- 

 ing to it on account of the position of its author, would be the literary success of the season." 

 London Standard. 



"As a literary production the new story is all that the admirers of 'Vivian Grey' could 

 have wished. The deft hand has lost none of its cunning. The wealth of plowing description, 

 whose richness becomes at times almost a painfnl enjoyment, the keen satire, the sparkling 

 epigram, the wonderful sketches of society, the airy skimming over the surface of life, 

 touching upon its fashionable graces, laughing a little at its fashionable follies all are here 

 as we knew them of old. The brightness is undimmed and the spirit is unsubdued." New 

 York Tribune.
