A GREAT NOVEL.
Daniel Deronda: By George
Eliot. (Harper & Brothers.) During
the twenty years since Mrs. Lewes
entered the field of literature as a
novelist she has published seven wdVks
all of which have been universally
pronounced to bo admirable. She is
indisputably the first novel writer
now living. The announcement of a
new novel from her pen is hailed as a
literary event, by the whole English
reading world.
Her latest work, Daniel Deronda
has, we venture to say, interested,
charmed, or it may be, disappointed
a greater number of people in England
and in America than any work of
fiction which has appeared since
“ Middlemarch.” For months it has
been difficult to enter what are called
polite circles or take ttp/t literary pc-
r odical, without hearing or seeing an
earnest discussion of the merits or
defects of this book, all, agreeing,
the most enthusiastic admirer as well
as the most ingenious fault finder,
that it. is a work of genuine genius,
originality and power, such as no one
now living but George Eliot could
.have written. Who is capable of
exciting the interest that “Daniel
Deronda” has excited for nearly a
year. Gwendolen’s worldliness, selfish
ambition and sufferings, have been as
harshly condemned, and her disap
pointments and remorse, have been
as tenderly pitied as if she were
member ol the society to which we
severally belong. Gramlcourt’s hide
ous worldiness and utter hcartlcssr.ess
have been as passionately denounced
as if he were a man of flesh and blood
m* eting us daily and outraging all
our best sensibilities and sentiments;
and Daniel Deronda’s manly vigor
and energy as well as his exquisite
sensitiveness and almost' womanly
tenderness, have been as earnestly
admired as the information of tinman
perfection, as if he were an actual ac
quaintance in the incidents and acts
of whose life every reader of the
book took a deep personal interest.
Nothing short of genius, and that of
a very high order, is capable of
making thousands of rational men
am) women experience this thrilling
interest in the imaginary lives of the
characters of a novel.
Some critics have found fault with
Daniel Deronda, have exposed what
they deem its demerits, and have con
trasted it unfavorably with “ Adam
Bede,” “ Middlemarch ” or “ Reyn
old but no one, as fir as we have
seen, has even hinted tliatst lacks any
of the remarkable qualities The
power, the wit, the humor, the keen
moral perception,—which have dis
tinguished George Eliot in all her
former works, and have unalterably
established her fame as a novelist.
Take, for instance, Deronda’s in-
tcrview.with his mother, or Gwen
dolen’s confession, and nothing that
Deronda. • When Gwendolen is play
ing for high stakes at a German
gaming table, one look from the then
unknown Deronda arrests her career
and awakens her conscience. It is
the fervent enthusiasm of the young
Jew Mordeeai which inspires De
ronda ; and in the grandest scene of
the whole story, the interview be.
tween Deronda and his mother, it is
the unyielding will of the dead
clmrisi which, reappearing in the
Princess, his daughter, proves to be
the animating notice of her whole
life. It may be said that the principal
diameters in Daniel Deronda arc of
a less heroic mould than those in
“ Middlemarch ” or “ Roinola,”—
that Romola and Savonarola are more
life-like than Mordeeai or Deronda,—
but where c n anything be found in
all the wide field of woman’s writing
more exciting, true to nature than
the fall of Gwendolen and her re*
morseful waking to a consciousness of
her guilt ?
Whether or not we fancy that, on
a comparison of this work with
George Eliot’s other great produc
tions, we can discover evidences of
inferiority, all who are capable of ap
predating genius, will admit that
Daniel Deronda is a work of pre
eminent power, sufficient by itself to
place its author in the front rank ol
living novelists.

The different editions of Tiie Sun during the
next year w:ll be the same as during tlie year
that lues just passed. The daily edition will on
week days lie a sheet of four pages, and on
Sundays a sheet of eight pages, or 66 broad
columns; _ while the weekly edition will be a
sheet of eight pages of tho same dimensions
and character that are already familiar to our
friends.
Tue Sun will continue to bo- the strenuous
advocate of reform and retrenchment, aud of
the substitution gf statesmanship, wisdom, and
integrity for hollow pretence, imbecility, und
frand in the administration of public affairs. It
will contcud for the government of the people
by the people and for the people, as opposed to
government by frauds in the liullot-box and in
the counting of votes, enforced by military
.violence, it will endeavor to supply "its readers
—a body now not far from a million of so ds—
with the most careful, complete, and trustworthy
accounts of current events, and will employ for
this purpose a uanierous and carefully selected
stuff of reporters and correspondents. Its re-
ports.from Washington, especially, will be lull,
accurate, and fearless; und it will doubtless
continue to deserve and enjoy • the hatred 4 f
those who thrive by plnndcrfng’the Treasury or
by usurping what, t iu law docs not give them,
while it will endeavor to merit the confidence of
the public by defending the rights of the people
against the encroachments ol' unjustified power.
. Tho price of tiie daily Sun will be 55 cents u
month or $6.50 a year, post paid, or with tlie
Sunday edition $7.70 a year. . „
The Sunday edition alone, eight pages, $1.20
a year, post paid.
"The Weekly Sun, eight pagis of 56 broad
columns, vrill be furnished curing 1877 at the
rate of $1 a veur, post paid.
T(ie benent of this large reduction from tlie
previous rate for the Weekly can be enjoyed by
Individual subscribers without tlie necessity o f
making np clubs. At the same time, if any of
our friends choose to aid in extending our circu
lation, we shall be grateful to them, and every
such person who sends us ten or more sub
scribers from one place will be entitled to one
copy of the paper for himself without charge.
At one dollar a year, postog paid, the expenses
of paper and printing are barely repaid; and,
considering the i»ize ot the sheet utid tlie quality
of its contents, we are confident the people will
consider Tiie Weekly Sun the cheapest news
paper published in the world, mid we trust also
one of the very best.
