To a boy of fourteen thus reared, the Disraeli of 1867 was an astonishment and a revelation as the modern world would say, an eye-opener. The House of Commons was full of distinguished men Lord Cranborne, afterwards Lord Salisbury; John Bright and Robert Lowe, Gathorne Hardy, Bernal-Osborne, Goschen, Mill, Kinglake, Renley, Horsman, Coleridge.
