Yet Disraeli's attempts to reconcile the elements of what later became known as 'Tory Democracy' was judged by most Conservatives at the time to be risky, and by some to be a disastrous betrayal of Conservatism One of the latter, Lord Salisbury, bemusedly remarked in 1897 on the 'very strange history' of the Conservative party's survival and increasing political prosperity in the later nineteenth century. This latest addition to the History of the Conservative Party is an attempt to write the first part of that 'very strange history'.
