Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memorials of Lord Beaconsfield Influenced, doubtless, to some extent by the example of his father, and being, as he was fond of saying, "born in a library," Mr. Disraeli at his first entry into life seemed inclined to make a profession of literature, having very soon abandoned the law, to which he was at first apprenticed. A considerable interval, however, elapsed between the publication of Vivian Grey, that most brilliant of all maiden performances, and the author´s resumption of his pen, during which Mr. Disraeli visited most of the spots famous either for natural beauty or historical associations in Europe and the Levant. But with the General Election which followed the passing of the Reform Bill began the political career which, lasting almost exactly half a century, forms one of the most remarkable phenomena of our own times. In the autumn of 1832 he issued an address to the electors of High Wycombe, and was supported at first by a combination of Radicals and Tories against the Whig candidate, but the former party deserted him at the poll, and he was defeated by a small majority. He subsequently issued an address to the electors of Marylebone, on the same principles; but the expected vacancy not occurring, he was a second time disappointed of his object.
