Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Speeches of the Marquis of Salisbury: With a Sketch of His Life
Oddly enough, at this period, Mr. Disraeli was a principal object of the withering sarcasm and thunderous indignation of his future colleague. The venomous assaults which Mr. Disraeli had made upon Sir Robert Peel were sometimes equalled by the fury and scorn poured over his own head by the young member for Stamford. Mr. Disraeli probably remembered this when, towards the close of the session of 1874, he apologised for some strong language used in the other House by Lord Salisbury, and complained of by Sir William Harcourt. As the House knows, Mr. Disraeli said, with an apologetic shrug of his shoulders, my noble colleague is a master of the art of jeers and fiouts and sneers, and on the whole indicated his Opinion that the House might safely disregard the remarks of the noble mar quis as those of a gentleman who occasionally permitted himself to be led away by a faculty for saying bitter things for no other reason than that they were smart.
