+
+BENJAMIN DISRAELI, EARL OF BEACONSFIELD, K.G.
+
+ON of Isaac D'Israeli, author of _Curiosities of Literature_, of Jewish
+extraction; born in London 21st December, 1805; published his political
+novel, _Vivian Grey_, 1825; travelled in the East between 1828 and 1831;
+contested Wycombe in 1831, and Marylebone, 1833, both unsuccessfully;
+was returned for Maidstone, 1837; for Shrewsbury, 1841; for Bucks, 1847;
+member of Sir R. Peel's party until Peel became a convert to Free
+Trade, from which time Mr. Disraeli allied himself closely with the
+Conservatives, of whom he became the leader in the House of Commons
+after the death of Lord George Bentinck in 1848; conspicuous for his
+attacks on Peel in Parliament; Chancellor of the Exchequer in Lord
+Derby's first Ministry, 1852; and in his second, 1858-9; in 1859 brought
+in a Reform Bill which was defeated by the Whigs; again Chancellor of
+the Exchequer in Lord Derby's third Ministry, July, 1866; brought in a
+second Reform Bill, based on Household Suffrage, which was passed, 1867;
+on Lord Derby's resignation, February, 1868, became Prime Minister,
+which office he resigned at the end of the year; on Mr. Gladstone's
+Government resigning office, in consequence of their defeat on the Irish
+University Bill, March, 1873, Mr. Disraeli was commissioned by the Queen
+to form a Ministry, but declined to do so under the then circumstances.
+On Mr. Gladstone appealing to the country in 1874, the election returns
+placed him in a minority, and he resigned without meeting the new
+Parliament; Mr. Disraeli succeeded him as Prime Minister and formed his
+cabinet, March, 1874; created Earl of Beaconsfield, August, 1876; first
+Plenipotentiary for Great Britain at the Congress of Berlin, 1878, and
+K.G. Lord Beaconsfield's principal novels (besides _Vivian Grey_) are
+_The Young Duke, Henrietta Temple, and Venetia_, and, since his entrance
+on political life, _Coningsby, Sybil, Tancred, and Lothair._
+
+London, 1878.
