Description

Disraeli (Benjamin, earl of Beaconsfield, prime minister and novelist, 1804-81), George Dashwood (of West Wycombe Park) & Charles Grey (Colonel, MP for Wycombe 1832-37, served as private secretary to Prince Albert and Queen Victoria, 1804-70.- Large collection of election material relating to the two elections of 1832 and later elections for the seat of High Wycombe, some manuscripts (lists of names etc.), most printed posters and handbills, folds, some browned and foxed or with slight soiling, some edges chipped or creased, housed in 2 wooden boxes, v.s., v.d., 1832-59 (lge collection in 2 boxes).

⁂ An interesting archive straddling the old and new systems of holding elections in the UK.

"Disraeli's first parliamentary candidature was at High Wycombe, the nearest borough to the house at Bradenham that his father rented from 1829. The two sitting MPs were whigs, and one was the son of the local landowner Lord Carrington. It was both necessary and congenial for Disraeli to declare himself an independent radical, opposed to whiggism and oligarchy, at a by-election in June 1832 and then at the general election held on the new franchise in December 1832. On both occasions he was defeated." - Oxford DNB.
