Benjamin Disraeli, earl of Beaconsfield - LoveToKnow 1911 (10070 words)
BENJAMIN DISRAELI BEACONSFIELD, Earl of (1804-1881), British statesman, second child and eldest son of Isaac D'Israeli and Maria Basevi, who were married in 1802, was born at No. 6 John Street, Bedford Row, on the 21st of December 1804.
The Benjamin D'Israeli, Lord Beaconsfield's grandfather, who came to England in 1748, was a younger son sent at eighteen to try his fortune in London.
