Benjamin Disraeli, 'Letter VIII. to the People' (2 February 1836), The Letters of Runnymede (1836), p. 72
“
This man, O'Connell, is the hired instrument of the Papacy; as such, his mission is to destroy your Protestant Society, and, as such, he is a more terrible enemy to England than Napoleon, with all his inspiration. Your empire and your liberties are in more danger at this moment than when the army of invasion was encamped at Boulogne.
