Several among them purported to have been -written by ' Ashley Allen Royce/ or the by the young romancer was *Oberon,* the choice of which may be explained by the fact that, as the late Henry W.

Runnymede. Benjamin Disraeli, Earl of Beaconsfield.

In 1836, " A series of letters . . . appeared in the * Times/ signed ' Runnymede,' which were in professed Imitation of ' Junius's Letters,' but which could only be compared to them in point of violence and personality. These letters were written by D'Israeli, and contained neree and unscrupulous attacks upon Lord Melbourne's government. Lord John Russell is called * an mfinitely small scarabseus, an insect'; Lord Palraerston and Grant, two sleek and long-tailed rats'; and Lord William Bentinek (...who had just returned from the government of India), 'one of those mere lees of debilitated humanity and exhausted nature which the winds periodically waft to the hopeless breezes of their native cliffs, a drivelling Nabob, of weak and perplexed mind and grovelling spirit.' The appearance of the Marquis of Lansdowne is de- scribed as ' the ox-like form of the Lansdowne Apis * ; and O'ConneU as ' towering, like a crocodile, above, above them all/ These letters were, in August, 1836, reprinted in a volume en- titled, Tbe Letters of Runnymede,' and dedi- cated to the late Sir Robert Peel."
