Excerpt from The Genius of Judaism The existence of the "peculiar people" professing the ancient Jewish faith has long been an object of religious conviction, and of philosophical curiosity. The Hebrew separated from the Christian, at a period of the highest civilisation holds an anomalous position in society; and with some truth it may be said, that he exists in a supernatural state.

I never wrote a note. The ancients never wrote notes; but they introduced into their text all which was proper for the reader to know.

Isaac was born in Enfield, Middlesex, England, the only child of Benjamin D'Israeli (1730–1816), a Jewish merchant who had emigrated from Cento, Italy in 1748, and his second wife, Sarah Syprut de Gabay Villa Real (1742/3–1825).
Leiden University.
He is best known for his essays, his associations with other men of letters, and as the father of British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli. Isaac received much of his education in Leiden. At the age of 16, he began his literary career with some verses addressed to Samuel Johnson.
He became a frequent guest at the table of the publisher John Murray and became one of the noted bibliophiles of the time. On 10 February 1802, D'Israeli married Maria Basevi (1774/5–1847), who came from another London merchant family of Italian-Jewish extraction. The marriage was a happy one, producing five children: Sarah ("Sa".
1802–1859); Benjamin ("Ben" or "Dizzy". 1804–1881); Naphtali (b 1807, died in infancy). Raphael ("Ralph"; 1809–1898).
And Jacobus ("James" or "Jem". 1813–1868). The children were named according to Jewish customs and the boys were all circumcised. Religiously however, Isaac D'Israeli was perhaps the first English Jew who took the modern attitude toward traditional Jewish ceremonies.
He penned a handful of English adaptations of traditional tales from the Middle East, wrote a few historical biographies, and published a number of poems. His most popular work was a collection of essays entitled Curiosities of Literature. The work contained myriad anecdotes about historical persons and events, unusual books, and the habits of book-collectors.
The work was very popular and sold widely in the 19th century, reaching its eleventh edition (the last to be revised by the author) in 1839. It was still in print when this article was written in 1911. His book The Life and Reign of Charles I (1828) resulted in his being awarded the degree of D.C.L. from Oxford University.
In 1841, he became blind and, though he underwent an operation, his sight was not restored.
