The following account of Disraeli's schooldays, given by one of his school-fellows, is quoted by Sir William Fraser: 'I cannot say that Benjamin Disraeli at this period of his life exhibited any unusual zeal for classical studies; and I doubt whether his attainments in this direction, when he left the school for Mr. Cogan's at Walthamstow, reached higher than the usual grind in Livy and Cæsar.
Cogan's Journey up the Rhine, from Utrecht to Frankfort. 2 vols. 8vo. 1794. The style of this work is lively and interesting: its pictures of manners and scenery good; and it contains a learned disquisition on the origin of printing. Dr. Cogan resided the greater part of his life in Holland. Travels in the North of Germany. By Thomas Hodgskin, Esq. 2 vols. 8vo. 1820.
