The biography delves into the life and political career of Lord George Bentinck, highlighting his significant impact on public affairs and his unique qualities as a political figure.

At the start of the biography, Disraeli paints a vivid portrait of Bentinck’s character and political journey. The narrative begins with an overview of his political career, detailing how he had spent many years in Parliament without engaging in major debates until a series of events propelled him into prominence. Among his attributes, Bentinck is recognized for his intellectual rigor, commitment to principles, and determination to serve the agricultural community against the backdrop of political turmoil.
