Excerpt from The Life of Benjamin Disraeli, Vol. 5: Earl of Beaconsfield; 1868-1876
It was originally intended that the story of the last phase of Disraeli's life should be completed in one volume. This would only have been possible if his management of the Eastern Question, the most outstanding feature of his great Administration, were treated merely in general terms; a course which however unsatisfactory in itself, appeared to be discreet and judicious, so long as Russia was our faithful ally in the war, and was governed by a friendly Sovereign, the grandson of that Emperor Alexander who was in antagonism 1d. The later seventies to Queen Victoria and to her Minister. But the Revolu tion in Russia, the repudiation of the Alliance, and the murder of the Tsar have entirely changed the conditions. There can be now no reasons of international delicacy to prevent a full disclosure of Disraeli's Eastern policy; with out which disclosure, indeed, the record of his life and ao complishment would be seriously imperfect. While the course of history has thus tended to promote an extension of plan, there has also been placed unexpectedly at my dis posal a great mass of important new material for the final eight years, 187 3 to 1881. It has, therefore, become inevi table to expand the proposed one last volume into the two volumes now submitted to the public.
