Scope and Contents

Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881) is best known for being Prime Minister during the 19th century. However, Disraeli also had literary ambitions and many of these were linked to the house of John Murray. As a result of this connection, there is a range of material relating to Disraeli.

In this series, there are letters of Disraeli to John Murray [II] and John Murray [III]. Other items here include papers concerning interests of Disraeli and Murray in shares in mining concessions in America, as well as marked proofs of 'England and France' by Disraeli, which was published by Murray in 1832. There is miscellaneous material relating to Disraeli, including copies of letters of Disraeli and photographic copies of images of Disraeli and people and places connected with him.
