Isaac D'Israeli does not come up in a catalog search when his last name is imput as "Disraeli." I think the name should be cross-referenced.

Is he ever known as Disraeli?
The year after joining Maples' firm, Benjamin changed his surname from D'Israeli to Disraeli. His reasons for doing so are unknown, but the biographer Bernard Glassman surmises that it was to avoid being confused with his father. Disraeli's sister and brothers adopted the new version of the name; Isaac and his wife retained the older form.
