This book closes, as II opened, with the
authors eye fxed upon Disraeli's person-
atty, ideas and imagination. The closing
paragraph Ia worthy OF the theme. The
fact Is recalled that when Disraeli died,
amid national mourning, the late Lord
Salisbury, after singing out for especial
laudation his unquenchable zeal for the
glory Of Britain, lasting to period when
"the qualification OF every possible desire
negatived the presumption OF any inferior
motive" alluded to his patience. his gen.
tlepess, his answering and unselfish 10y
atty to his colleagues and fellow laborers.'
The time came when not even his opponents
would deny that Disraeli's moral character
was a high one. Most candid men will
concur in Mr.. Sichels judgment that Tin
questionably, Disraeli, like Gladstone, raised
the tone OF Parliamentary life from that OF
the days when politics meant merely
squabble for place and toss-up as to
whether England should be ruled by Tory
mobiles or by Wings. Disraeli's tone may
not always have chimed with certain forms
or formulas OF earnestness, but he acted
UP to his own high standard. 1T is inn
possible said the late Lord Granville.
ito deny that Lord Beaconsfeld played q
great part in British history. No one
could deny his rare and splendid gifts or
his force Of CHARACTER, force that will
always appeal to England. But con-
cluded the speaker, after noticing Dis
raeli's tolerance and forbearance, she un-
doubtedly possessed the power OF appeal
ing to the imagination, not only of his
oountrymen. but Of foreigners. and that
power is not destroyed by DEATH As
Bismarck said Of him at the Congress OF
Berlin, 'Disraeli is England

There is no doubt that. for a man OF Dis
raelis sensitive temperament, the greater
part OF his life had been fraught with in
expreesiblc sadness No one was more
cut to the quick by contumely or imperti-

as far back as he could remember, and I'M

DisraeIi.

r The latest book about Disrdeli is volume
OF 500 pages by WALTER SIoHEL, published
by the Funk d Wagnalls Company. The
author is known to ,s by his exhaustive
study OF "Bolingbroke and His Times II
was natural that he should be attracted to
personality which, from many points OF view,
recalls the many sided and captivating st.
John. There Ia a striking difference, how
ever, between the favorite Minister OF VIC
toria and the favorite Minister Of Anne.
Regarded as q statesman, the latter must be
pronounced a failure, for his brief occu-
pancy OF the Premiership was succeeded
by long life spent In retirement. Both
were men OF letters, however, and both
were masters Of debate In the House OF
Commons Neither was credited by his
enemies with much political principle. Both
had the capacity Of making warm and tena-
ciolis friends, and both have found devoted
advocates among the writer's Of history.
The plan followed by Mr.. SrcHEL Ii a
judicfols one. Two chapters are allotted
to Disfaeli's personality and career, while
in the eight others the author discusses his
relations to democracy and representation,
to the labor question and the free trade
movement, to the Church and theocracy;
to the monarchy, to the colonies and the
empire, to. Engand's foreign policy, to
America and Ireland, to English society
and finally, to literature, AS the part which
Disraeli played on the political stage Ia
comparatively familiar, we shall here con-
fine ourselves for the most part to what Mr..
Sichel has to tell us about him considered
ms a man.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1904-10-30

We know from Lady John Manners. who
has published her recollections OF his later
years, and from other sources as well, how
he loved flowers and forestry, and study
during the dinner hour, more than all the
social glitter; how he communed with the
unseen; how far reaching were his sympa-
thies; what interest and curiosity he dis
played in every form OF career and purpose;
how often to all the 8plendor which he had
conquered, he preferred converse with the
weak, the lowly, the suffering; how his wise
counsel and inexhaustible resource were
sought and coveted by cottagers by the toll
ers whose cause he made his own, as well
as by princes; how delicately considerable
he was in keeping his appointments, and
with all who came in contact with him; how
he would sacrifice keen personal wish
rather than disturb subordinate's pleasure
or abridge holiday, and yet how his
playfulness Of fancy mixed in pithy irones
with his very considerateness.
According to this biographer Disraeli
was truly unselfish, and was never
known TO blame an underling, II things
went wrong he took the whole burden
on his own shoulders. He was at in
finite pains to understand the conditions
OF labor and the organizations affecting
H. We are told that the Bucking ham
O.. ire peasants still cherish his memory:
1t may be said with truth that the deepest
affections Of this extraordinary man. whom
vapid <orldlings sneered at as callous
cynic. were reserved for his country, his
county. his home and his friends. for effort
and for Distress Mr.. Sichel AYERS that
many young aspirant to fame in literature
or public life has owed much to Disraeli 3
generous encouragement. He liked to
dwell on the vicissitudes OF men and things
his own motto, -Forti nihil difficile," rep
resented his convictions. In private, when
he was not entertaining, his habits were Of
the simplest. In two things only WAS he
profuse: books and light. He loved to see
every room Of Hughenden illuminated with
candles. He was utterly careless OF money.

disliked Mr.. Gladstone; on the contrary, my
only difficulty with him has been that i
could never understand him." Carlyle
himself thawed when Disraeli, whom he
had so long Historically abused, but many
Of whose ideas he shared. offered him pub
lie recognition in a letter which gave as
reason for rendering him uninheritabie
