"Sir Julius Vogel, KCMG (24 February 1835 \u2013 12 March 1899) was the eighth Premier of New Zealand. His administration is best remembered for the issuing of bonds to fund railway construction and other public works. He remains the only practising Jewish prime minister of New Zealand. Historian Warwick R. Armstrong assesses Vogel's strengths and weaknesses:Vogel's politics were like his nature, imaginative \u2013 and occasionally brilliant \u2013 but reckless and speculative."@en . .
