      Just published , in 1 vol ., 12 mo , sewed , 222 pp ., price Is . Cd . THE GOVERNING CLASSES OF GREAT BRITAIN . Political Portraits by EDWARD Mi "WHITTY" In this volume we have some exceedingly smartsketchws of various public men . "— Church and State Gazette . " We have derived much genuine enjoyment from Mr . Whitty ' s book . Mi * . Whitty will endure comparison withthe best political write . rs- ^ Whigr , Tory , or Radical—of theday ; and he is , to the ruiii of all rivalry , tli © first writer-oft his own school—the Revolutionary . " —Morning Post . " These portraits of what the author terms the ' Govern * - ing Classes of Great Britain' are republished from the Leader Newspaper , and form a little Thesaurus of information of a . peculiar and interesting ; character . '—Leeds Times . " These lively sketches of living political characters are-, many of them admirably written , always satirical in spirit ^ , and occasionally far-seeing in their ken . / There are points , which-Thackeray could hardly have done better . "—13-ra . " Mr . . Edward Whitty is by far the wittiest and most subtle of modern political essayists . " — tJubliit Telegraph .. " The a-uthorof tlxis book has- distinguished : himself by inventing , if we may so speak , quite a new style of . news-. papcr-cooiuient on Parliamentary meriand proceedings . If we are not greatly mistaken , Mr . Whitty ' s name will yet b& a conspicuous one in the world of journalism . The main notion of the work is that Great Britain is Under : a mistake in considering itself a self-governed country ; Mr . Whifcfcsj seems to have no political preferences . \ Vo know no Jralirtical writing of the day showings harder head , a more ruthless frankness , than Mr . . 'Whitty's . Add to ¦ ¦ this a great fund of political knowledge , and a power of witfey expression . "Commonwealth . ¦ Tkttbnee and Co ., 12 , Paternoster-row .
