NEW PUBLICATIONS..


The new novel by Disraeli, entitled
'Lothair," is the greatest sensation at the
present time in the literary world. This
is due as much to the high position of the
author in the government of England
as to his we'll known talents. The hero
of the novel. Lothair, is the only son and
heir of one of the wealthiest and most
aristocratic families of Great Britain. He
is an orphan, but with two guardians, one.
A Protestant, the other Catholic. The
pith of the story is in delineating the efforts
which were made by the Jesuits to bring
Lothair over to Catholicism, by means
more subtle and persevering than honora-
bic or successful, against which, however,
he would not have held out had it not been
for lady who figures upon the stage.
There is charm in the clear, easy style
of the writer. the occasional fine descrip-
tive passages, and the power which he
displays over the difficult subjects with
which he sometimes deals, but interest
centres as we have already intimated upon
the management of the church functional
ries, who did not succeed according to
their wishes. There are loves and mar
riages sufficient to make the volume pleas
ant to those who look for such matters in
