Sketches Beyond the Sea.

Notes

The author’s fourth letter, "A Few Hours in Parliament" (pp. 27-34), recalls his impressions of Benjamin Disraeli (with an accompanying sketch of the subject). Letter XXIX is devoted to George Eliot, including her Daniel Deronda. Wilkie contrasts the novels of Disraeli and Eliot with respect to their delineation of Jews and social class distinctions.
