NEW NOVELS, And what shall we say of “Endymton”— _ | the last published novel from tho facllo pen of the British statestnan, so long heralded, so well advertised, so royally patd for, natn- rally ranks first in Importance if notin merit, among the novels of the hour. Copious ex- tracts have niready been published in these columns from this work, anda key to the characters, which muy or may not be correct, has also been furnished. To our thinking Disraeli 1s to the best noyellsts--such os ‘Thackeray, Dickens, or George Eliot—what the carleaturlst is among artists. Mo is not Incktng In talent and fn skill, but courts pop- ular favor rather than the approval of the In- tellizent; sacrifices the production of meri- torious work to the gratification of personal feellng or the oxpression of personal eplt. In a writer of novels tho imngination is the master faculty. It 4s tho criterion of all his work. “The art of composition, good taste, appre- efation of truth, depend upon it’? The an- thor Is drenining, if you like, and makes his dream equal to the truth by designing {imag- Snary objects ns precisely and with as much detall as real objects. But to be successful ho must be entircly imaginary and yet so trus to nature ns to deceive. He must win absolutely the confidence of hls reader, and then abuse that confidence to the best of his ability. Dickens Ived In an {imaginative world, aud ny- Talne truly says, "his imagination was Ike that of monomantacs.”” But his ffiagination did not always perceive great things, ‘Thackeray was the keenest of satirists, and satire was the object of lis nov- els, But he also extolled sweetness and moral purity. He lectures and warns, but also impresses us with his truth even more than with his art. 1t hasbeen sald that “ tho Engtish are naturally both satirists and nov- ellsts.” Disraili possesses this first qual- Mication, But he is full of Ihn- self{—nnd no one belleves him, Ho is in the field of fiction very much as he isin polities, an cecentric and .audactous ad- yenturer, of brilliant parts, but forever su- premely selfish. Ile cannot even affect sin- cerity or disinterestedness; and If he did, no one would credit thonssuimption, | “The gen- eral public,” says Mr, McCarthy, » very fair erltic, although an opponent in politics, persist In refusing to take Mr, Disraell seri- ously, or to fasten: on him any moral respon- sibility for anything he-might say or co.”* In politics ho has occasionally been Justa little too clover, and In his novels he has ear- ried satire and ridicule o Httle too far to ba effective. liv has himself spoken of his works as “but plaster of Paris casts,or rather statues of snow, that melt ns soon ng thoy are fabricated.” He dia not believe a word of it, and It 1s impogsibie to beliove that he fs sincere in his satirizing of the first two novelists of the nge under the thin disguise of St. Barbe and Guehy, Disraeli ta essen- tinlly dramatie,—always striving: for eifect and notoriety.
