1828 Commentaries on the Life & Reign of Charles the First by Isaac D'Israeli

Description: by Isaac D'Israeli - 1828 - Henry Colburn - London Disraeli's Commentaries were originally published in five volumes between 1828 and 1830, and "marked an advance in historical research, as Disraeli consulted many unpublished manuscripts. In this volume, Vol. II, he asserts that King Charles was a man more sinned against than sinning. The effect was to support a Tory view of history, and so to influence the ideas of Benjamin Disraeli and the 'Young England' group. Commentaries was attacked for its implicit Toryism by Lord Nugent in his Memorials of Hampden (1832), and D'Israeli immediately replied with the pamphlet Eliot, Hampden, and Pym. It was as the defender of Charles I that D'Israeli was created honorary doctor of civil law by Oxford University.
