A H^ovel, 
By the Right Honorable OiSRAELi, 
Late Prime Minister of Great Britain. 
“Nusse ha3C omnia salus est adolescentulis,” — Terentius. 
After a silence of twenty-three years (his last work, “ Tancrecl,” was published in 1847), this 
eminent Em^lish novelist reappears with a work in lushest style. ‘‘Lothair” has all the 
brilliant wit, the keen and sparkling satire, and the refined grace, of the most ))opnlar of 
its predecessors. It deals with current topics of the deepest interest— with Fenianism, 
Ritualism, the Catholic Question, the intrigues of the Jesuits, etc., etc. 
NOTICES OP 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 Dally News. 
“ ‘ Lothair ’ 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.”— Times. 
“As a series of brilliant sketches of character, with occasional digressions into abstract 
and speculative topics, ‘Lothair’ need not fear comparison with the most sparkling of its 
author’s previous works.”— Zemefon. Observer. 
“Nothing of the original verve of Mr. Disraeli’s style has been lost by the lapse of yeai-s. 
Fresh as ‘ Coningsby,’ vigorous as ‘ Vivian Grey,’ tender as ‘Henrietta Temple,’ enthralling 
as ‘ Tancred,’ humorous as any of his former works, ‘ Lothair,’ apart from the interest attach- 
ing to it on account of the jposition 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 glowing description, 
whose richness becomes at times almost a painful enjoyment, the keen satire, the sparkling 
epigram, the wonderful sketches of society, the airy skimmin" 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 .” — Neto 
York Tribune.
