First published in 1882 and originally entitled Selected Speeches of the Late Right Honourable The Earl of Beaconsfield, these two volumes--newly introduced by Disraeli biographer and British historian Paul Smith, who has also provided additional annotation for the modern reader--present the key speeches of the greatest conservative orator, thinker, and statesman of nineteenth-century Britain.

These are indispensable volumes.
