Benjamin Disraeli, 1st Earl of Beaconsfield

The Right Honourable Benjamin Disraeli, 1st Earl of Beaconsfield, KG, PC (21 December, 1804 – 19 April, 1881) was a British statesman and literary figure. He served in government for three decades, twice as Prime Minister – the first and thus far only person of Jewish descent to do so, although Disraeli was baptized in the Anglican Church at an early age. Disraeli's most lasting achievement was the creation of the modern Conservative Party after the Corn Laws schism of 1846.
