Note 17 — Chapter I · DISRAELI’S PERSONALITY

This is no imaginary picture. Cf. Isaac Disraeli’s letters in the British Museum, Add. MS. 34,571, ff. 94, 96. Bradenham Manor, now the residence of my friend, Mr. Graves, had been under Queen Anne the seat of the Earl of Strafford through his marriage with a City heiress.
