MR.' DISRAELI'S " LIFE AND REIGN OP CRANIAL
I."—A new and revised edition of this important wtrk by the
late Isaac Disraeli, we observe, is announced for immediate
publication, edited, with a preface, by his son, B.
M.P. The appearance of this new edition at the present
moment will doubtless be considered remarkably opportune,
for the subjects of which the work treats not my attract,
but absorb the mind of the nation. Its chapters on " The
Genius of the Papacy ;" on the " Critical Position of our
earlier Protestant Sovereigns with regard to their Roman
Catholic subjects," from the consequences of the oaths of
allegiance and supremacy; on "The Study of Polemical
Divinity," and kindred themes, are, in fact, the history of the
events, the thoughts, the passions, and the perplexities of the
present agitated epoch.
