[and] the work ... appeared with a preface from his pen ... The original manuscript ... shows that Disraeli's share in it was limited to the introduction here and there of a word or phrase where the excision of a passage rendered ... it necessary." - The life of ... Disraeli ... by W.F. Monypenny and G.E. Buckle. [1929] v. 1, p. 64-65. cf. also Thursfield, J.R. Nelson and other naval studies. 1909. p. 195.
