MR. DISRAELI'S REVOLUTIONARY Erlcp-,,
Taunted by many critics, who were confeogdiri;
quoting his poem at second-hand, Mr. Disraeli has repo,4
lished, through Messrs. Longman, " The Revolution
Epick." In a brief preface, Mr. Disraeli speaks of 110716
given up literature for politics, and finding it improba 0,1
that he should ever publish another book, has sonietilot
regretted that he could not avail himself of the get
privilege of a writer—that of dedicating a volume hid'
ed
friend. Lord Stanley is the friend in this case, and to halt
the revolutionary poem is now inscribed. Very itp,

that of the old :—" Ir, was on the plains of Troy that I tiej
conceived the idea of this work," it begins. '`lt 410,,,,,,
