Book Description
Excerpt from Two Years of the Eastern Question, Vol. 1 of 2 I was in the East the best part of the period elapsing between the outbreak of the Herzegovinian insurrection and the declaration of the Russian War I watched events under the impression that the office of their recorder was not that of an advocate, but that of a judge or juryman, and that however difficult it might be for mere man to place himself beyond the bias of sympathies and antipathies, his duty would be fulfilled so long as his sentence or verdict left him at peace with his conscience. The highest compliment ever paid to a writer was from a lady, who, having read an essay upon some subject in which sectarian controversy was inevitable, declared she was "puzzled to make out whether the author was Catholic or Protestant."
