LORD GEORGE BENTINCK,
A POLITICAL BIOGRAPHY.
BY THE RT. HON. B. DISRAELI, M.P.
FROM BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE.--"This biography cannot fail to attract the

selected, who, from his high literary attainments, his personal
intimacy, and party associations, would have done such complete justice
to the memory of a friend and Parliamentary associate. Mr. Disraeli has
here presented us with the very type and embodiment of what history
should be. His sketch of the c
