By it he went to Malta, writing thence to his father from the lazarette on August 25: "We are free to-morrow." The journey and the quarantine together took, therefore, only seventeen days. He had then been only two months away from home, and two months' Galignanfs, rather than two years', was probably the Consul's allowance; particularly as Disraeli had been an eager newspaper reader at home, and had written a few days earlier from Gibraltar, "I see all newspapers sooner or later." He does not, in his detailed letters, mention any new light on public affairs as having come to him in his few days' detention, and his "understanding" of English politics had been already exhibited in the pages of Vivian Grey. At each important stage of his journey, where newspapers met him, he eagerly read the arrears. From Athens towards the close of this year (1830) he wrote: "I have just got a pile of papers"; from Constantinople in the January following: "I have just got through a pile of Galignan1s "; from Cairo, on the last day of May, 1831, he exclaims over "the wonderful news" (about the Reform movement) "which meets me here in a pile of Galignan1s "--the most exciting budget that he ever received, and one to which he might very probably make allusions long afterwards in his talk, though not in the sense reported here. Asked at a dinner-party if he had read Daniel Deronda: "When I want to read a novel, I write one." A clergyman, having bungled into Lady Howard's garden-party at Craven Cottage, Fulham, instead of the ...

The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book. Dedication so discriminating as you: ungrateful they to their fastiaious admirer; and failing in that ampler faculty of worship allowed them by our Sex with a generosity suspiciously ungrudging. True, the townsman who brings to you his Primroses, risks bringing you those, staled, that were freshly gathered in your own Sussex copses; nor am I sanguine enough to hope, in placing your name on the forehead of my book, that its pages will tell you of Disraeli aught that you do not already know, and that we have not dwelt upon together. But there are auguries, for all that, in favour of this conjunction of his name and yours. You, like him, have loved the Arab, man and horse; and it is my faith that had you lived of old in Egypt, you, vexing the souls of Pharaohs, would have solaced and shortened the captivity of the Children of Israel Disraelis own fathers. Egypt for the Egyptians on your lips had then meant Let this people go! And I recall the time when, even in our Island, and under Hanoverians, you, a Poet, pursued the fickle jade Politics, enamoured of her in England, in Ireland, in Egypt; enduring sorrow for her sake, yet not living happily with her ever after. Disraeli, on the other hand, paramount in Parliament, was hooted from Parnassus. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
