Curiosities of Literature, which was published by <strong>the</strong> Socialist,<br />
John Murray. A literary success, it ran to thirteen editions.<br />
Benjamin probably inherited his writing skills from his fa<strong>the</strong>r.<br />
Born in 1804 into a family of moderate means, Benjamin was<br />
circumcised on <strong>the</strong> eighth day according to <strong>the</strong> Jewish custom,<br />
and grew up in <strong>the</strong> Jewish faith. Although proud of it, we are led<br />
to believe that he knew at an early age that as far as public office,<br />
his "Jewishness" would be a drawback because in England at that<br />
time, Jews were barred by religion from becoming members of<br />
any political party.<br />
But on <strong>the</strong> orders of Nathan Rothschild, at <strong>the</strong> age of<br />
thirteen Benjamin was baptized on July 31, 1817 as a Christian so<br />
that he might penetrate English society and <strong>the</strong> political<br />
establishment, which at <strong>the</strong> time was closed to Jews by <strong>the</strong> Test<br />
Acts. His orders from Nathan Rothschild were to break down<br />
every barrier against <strong>the</strong> Jews.<br />
At one time he told Lord Melbourne, <strong>the</strong> Home<br />
Secretary: "I am going to be <strong>the</strong> Prime Minister of England,"<br />
which Melbourne thought fanciful and impossible. Of course<br />
Melbourne did not know at that time about Disraeli's<br />
"Rothschild" connection. But first, <strong>the</strong> necessary financing had to<br />
come from somewhere. At twenty-two he began "speculating" on<br />
<strong>the</strong> Stock Market, a highly unlikely occupation for a man who<br />
was always without any money.<br />
A certain Thomas Jones — more than likely an assumed<br />
name - came up with two thousand pounds to start with,<br />
increasing to nine thousand pounds — a huge sum of money at<br />
<strong>the</strong> time to invest in a penniless writer of no experience! It does<br />
not take much imagination to come to <strong>the</strong> conclusion that<br />
"Thomas Jones" was Nathan Rothschild.<br />
As was <strong>the</strong> case with <strong>the</strong> biographers of Napoleon I,<br />
Bismarck, Mettemich, Marshal Soult (who betrayed Napoleon at<br />
Waterloo), Karl Marx, Bombelles, Lassalle, Hertz, Kerensky and<br />
Trotsky praise for Disraeli, a former non-entity, was lavish. J.G.<br />
Lockhart, Sir Walter Scott's son-in-law, was beside himself when<br />
in 1825 he wrote:
