Book Description
Excerpt from Russia and England: From 1876 to 1880, a Protest and an Appeal Little more than two years ago, when a war with Russia seemed probable and even imminent, a book was published in London explaining the view of the Russians themselves on the cause of their quarrel with Turkey. The writer, a Russian lady, described herself only under the initials O. K.: and as under these circumstances an introduction of some kind was thought desirable, at the request of the authoress I wrote a few words of preface to this book. I was the more willing to do it, because as far back as the Crimean War I was one of the few Englishmen who considered that for us to quarrel with Russia in defence of the Ottoman Empire was impolitic and useless, and that so far from simplifying the problems which were coming upon us, not in Turkey only, but throughout Asia, it would enormously increase them. When the Emperor Nicholas spoke of the Turk as the sick man, for whose approaching end he invited us to assist him in making preparation, it appeared tome that he was speaking the truth, and that to refuse to acknowledge it would prove as futile in the long run as the denial of any other fact of nature. Fact, as always happens, had asserted itself. The sick man's state could no longer be questioned by the most obstinate incredulity. But the provisions which the Emperor Nicholas desired had not been made. The European conflict which he foresaw would follow from the absence of it, was on the point of breaking out; and small as the prospect of peace appeared when the Russians were advancing upon Con stantinople, I was glad to be able to assist, in how ever slight a degree, the courageous lady who was pleading the cause of the Slavs before the English public. The danger is no longer immediate. The Russian army and the English fleet were almost within the range of each other's guns: a mistaken telegram or the indiscretion of a commander on either side might have precipitated a collision, and all Asia, and per haps Europe also, would at this moment have been in conflagration.
