This book - the title of which translates directly today as "Liberals and Liberalism" - is the only collection of the important early political writings of Benjamin Disraeli, chief voice of conservatism in nineteenth-century Britain and one of that creed's most impressive theorists and statesmen. Without question "Whigs and Whiggism" is indispensable for those seeking to understand the contributions that the most striking, enigmatic figure of nineteenth-century British politics made to conservative doctrine.
