Disraeli (21 December 1804 – 19 April 1881) was a British
politician and writer, who twice served as Prime Minister. He played
a central role in the creation of the modern Conservative Party,
defining its policies and its broad outreach. Disraeli is remembered
for his influential voice in world affairs, his political battles
with the Liberal Party leader William Ewart Gladstone, and his
one-nation conservatism or "Tory democracy". He made the
Conservatives the party most identified with the glory and power of
the British Empire. He is the only British Prime Minister of Jewish
birth...

the gravity of Disraeli's condition, the doctors concocted optimistic
bulletins, for public consumption. The Prime Minister, Gladstone,
called several times to enquire about his rival's condition, and
wrote in his diary, "May the Almighty be near his pillow."
There was intense public interest in the former Prime Minister's
struggles for life. Disraeli had customarily taken the sacrament at
Easter; when this day was observed on 17 April, there was discussion
among his friends and family if he should be given the opportunity,
but those against, fearing that he would lose hope, prevailed. On the
morning of the following day, Easter Monday, he became incoherent,
then comatose. Disraeli's last confirmed words before dying in the
early morning of 19 April were "I had rather live but I am not
afraid to die".
