Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Earl of Beaconsfield It would be impossible, within the limits of a single volume, to record every event in Disraeli´s career. The chief aim, therefore, in writing the following pages has been to trace the political development of the Conservative statesman in broad outline; and to arrange the important incidents of his life in proper perspective, in order that the reader, instead of being confused by a multitude of facts, may derive some kind of impression - however inadequately the idea may have been carried out of the great part which Disraeli has played in the history of the British empire. Since the appearance of the existing biographies of Lord Beaconsfield, fresh light has been thrown upon an incident in his career by the recent publication, amongst the private papers of Sir Robert Peel, of a letter addressed by Disraeli to Peel in 1841. It will be remembered that Disraeli, in 1846, denied having asked Peel for office five years before; and on that account the letter in question has been generally regarded as affording proof of a mean and dishonourable action on his part. I have submitted this letter to a high legal authority, and he at once pointed out to me the fact that Disraeli made no direct application for a post in the government.
