THE EARL OF BEACONSFIELD, K.G.

BY JAMES ANTHONY FROUDE, D.C.L.

SEVENTH EDITION. With Photogravure Portrait. Crown 8vo. 3_s._ 6_d._

'There is something in Mr. Froude's account even of these years
which will be new to Lord Beaconsfield's admirers as well as to his

Dunckley has made more of the less interesting theme.'--SPECTATOR.

SIR ROBERT PEEL

BY JUSTIN McCARTHY, M.P.

SECOND EDITION, with an additional Chapter. With Photogravure Portrait.
Crown 8vo. 3_s._ 6_d._

'Mr. McCarthy relates clearly and well the main incidents of Peel's
political life, and deals fairly with the great controversies which
still rage about his conduct in regard to th
