Excerpt from Beaconsfield
In one respect, indeed, the romantic tinge which almost entirely colors Disraeli's character and career has been to his disadvantage. People are rather attracted to their picturesqueness than to the real results of his statesmanship. They are so intent upon waiting for coups d'etat and brilliant surprises, that they fail to credit him with such substantial triumphs of statesmanship as he has achieved.
