Lectures on the Relation between Law and Public Opinion in England
Statesman noted as an exception to the otherwise near-universal mid-Victorian acceptance of Mill's principle regarding legislation, being distinguished from the belated Protectionists.
In 1859, hardly any man who occupied a prominent position in public life (except here and there a few belated Protectionists, among whom Disraeli must not be numbered) dissented greatly from Mill’s simple principle, at any rate as regards legislation.
but the author of Sybil knew well that his novel was a splendid party pamphlet fitted to show that the Tories were the true friends of the working-classes.
Disraeli, Tories could afford at times to exhibit sentimental friendliness towards workmen engaged in conflict with manufacturers, whose mills offended the æsthetic taste, and whose radicalism shook the political authority of benevolent aristocrats.
Law in a Free State
Statesman credited with coining the political use of the term 'National'.
“National” was first used as a political term by the late Benjamin Disraeli to signify the patriotic as opposed to the cosmopolitan and anti-national.
