Cartoon, Permissive Government (Disraeli and Hartington)
Cartoon, Permissive Government -- a conversation between Lord Hartington, new leader of the Liberal Party (in opposition), and Benjamin Disraeli, Conservative Prime Minister. Hartington suggests that Disraelis government is rather weak, and only exists on sufferance. In reply, Disraeli quotes Shylocks words from The Merchant of Venice: Sufferance is the badge of all our tribe -- a direct and somewhat gratuitous reference to his Jewish ancestry. Date: 1875
