COLBURN AND CO.'S LIST #Of Interesting New Works.# FIFTH AND CHEAPER EDITION, REVISED. In One Vol., Post 8vo. 10s. 6d. bound. 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 deep attention of the public.

No one of Lord George Bentinck's colleagues could have been 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.
