Wyndham Lewis (7 October 1780 – 14 March 1838) was a British politician and a close associate of Benjamin Disraeli, whom his widow married after his death.
From his family Lewis of Van,[2] he inherited shares in the Dowlais Iron Company and substantial estates in Glamorgan, Monmouthshire and Gloucestershire.
A quote from that book, tells us; "It was at this moment that Mary Anne Lewis entered the scene.
At the Bulwers', Disraeli had been asked to take her down to dinner, he responded: "Oh anything rather than that insufferable woman, but Allah is Great."
Mrs Lewis already had a friendly eye for D'Israeli and during the contest the couple loaned him money for his election expenses.
