Book excerpt: Lord George Bentinck is an account of Disraeli's relation with his parliamentary colleague and friend. It is not simply an account of the battle over the Corn Laws with Sir Robert Peel, but a most remarkable book, extremely readable, and full of often quoted and apt comments and descriptions. As a vivid story of one of the great parliamentary dramas in British history it is unsurpassed. The portraits of both Bentinck and Peel are both sympathetic and just. The book provides insight into mid-nineteenth century parliamentary life that remains unsurpassed. It is hard to overstate the bitterness and fury which Peel's decision to repeal the Corn Laws had provoked in British politics. One biographer of Disraeli, Robert Blake, spoke of "Home Rule in 1886 and Munich in 1938 as the nearest parallels". Friendships were sundered, families divided, and the feuds of politics carried into private life to a degree quite unusual in British history. Those who are interested in the details of parliamentary warfare which raged until Peel's fall from power should consult Lord George Bentinck. But the worth of this book goes beyond constitutional history or even the Irish food famine. Disraeli helps explain the intellectual and ideological grounds of the Young England Movement: a conservative force that aimed at a union of discontented industrial workers with aristocratic landowners and against factious Whigs, selfish factory owners and dissenting shopkeepers. In forging such a policy of principle, the Conservatives, as Disraeli's book well demonstrates, became a minority party but one which carried the full weight of moral politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1905. Known as a dandy, a novelist, a brilliant debater and England's first and only Jewish prime minister, Disraeli (Earl of Beaconsfield) is best remembered for bringing India and the Suez Canal under control of the crown. The life of Lord George Bentinck is in a sense the most serious of Disraeli's works. It was composed at a time when he had abandoned fiction for the more sternly engrossing pursuit of politics. Bentinck is best remembered for his betrayal over the Corn Laws, when he became the most vicious critic of the Prime Minister. Unable to moderate his tone thereafter, his leadership of the Protectionists in the House of Commons became something of an embarrassment to the party, who deposed him from the leadership for his support of Jewish emancipation. Contents: State of Parties in the House of Commons at the Close of 1845; Four Meetings of the Cabinet in One Week; 1846-Opening of Parliament; Proposition to Repeal the Corn Laws; Formation of the Protectionist Party; Second Reading of the Bill to Repeal the Corn Laws; State of Ireland; The Coercion Bill; Remedial Measures for Ireland; Easter; Critical Position of the Government; Third Reading of the Corn Bill; Reciprocity; The Protectionist Party Resolve to Oppose the Coercion Bill; The Canning Episode; Overthrow of the Peel Cabinet; Character of Sir Robert Peel; The Sugar Bill-Progress and Reaction; Irish Railways; 1847-The Irish Famine; The Bank Charter Act; Dissolution of Parliament; The Panic; The Jewish Question; 1848-Relinquishment of the Leadership of the Protectionist Party by Lord George Bentinck; The Sugar and Coffee Planting Committee; Foreign Politics-Close of the Session 1848; and The Last Chapter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lord George Bentinck: A Political Biography Disraeli, moreover, being always sincere, does not suppress his own qualities, even in so impersonal an affair as bio graphy. The narrative sparkles with humour, and is alive with wit. The Sugar question, not a lively one, is an excuse for a jest, that has not yet lost its point. Strange, ' says he, that a manufacture which charms infancy and soothes old age, should so frequently occasion political disaster.' And, while he gives free play to his wonderful gift of irony, he does not mitigate his stern convictions. Though he proclaims with enthusiasm the fortunate truth that 'the history of England is the history of reaction, ' he admits that 'pro gress and reaction are but words to mystify the million. They mean nothing, they are nothing; they are phrases, and not facts. All is race.' So he returns to the gospel preached with eloquent sincerity in his novels; and it may be said of him, as of few men, that, whatever may be the subject of his discourse, he is always honestly and candidly himself. He conceals nothing, he attenuates nothing; he deals not in 'ifs' and 'ans'; and thus he pre sents the strongest contrast to the politician who in after years was his fiercest opponent and most dangerous rival.
